IвЂ™m sure if the accented rib knit sat on the actual waistline it might appeal more. The dress (I) is all a bit too much for me. I can just picture the envy of all my camping buddies if I were to turn up in thatВ blanket coat (H) Its made of Jacquard and leather.

Not generally my style but there are still some lovely things going on here. It kind of looks a bit maternity at this length. I think IвЂ™d prefer a more cropped look like the Vogue jacket I made (and have since lostвЂ¦ IвЂ™m so gutted!!). Not so keen on this flared jacket (G) though. It makes much more sense altogether, if you like that sort of thing. So here is that skirt from the cover (F), teamed with a top that also has вЂan enhanced added panelвЂ™. IвЂ™m loving that itвЂ™s described as easy to put together too! IвЂ™m loving the contrast of ribbing against animal print chiffon in this shirt (E).

This oneвЂ™s made from polyester poplin so itвЂ™s very lightweight and itвЂ™s got lots of pockets too! I much prefer the version that comes later.ДЄnimal print parka (D) I can deal with though. The choice of contrasting blue pleated panel with the print on dress (C) is a little mind boggling to say the least. They are kind of hidden in that print too but itвЂ™s a nice detailВ all the same. Skirt (B) is a classic pencil with gold buttons along the front two dart lines as far as I can make out. Not too dissimilar to the BHL Flora dress which we all know and love. Further on youвЂ™ll see some colour blocking to illustrate them. The print totally hides itвЂ™s streamlinedВ seamlines but what a shape. ItвЂ™s mostly about animal print but get behind that if it scares you, to see some of the sophisticated lines that are very camouflaged by it.ДЇor instance this sheath dress (A). The first section is titled вЂCall of the WildвЂ™. I donвЂ™t know, something to do with aВ grubby looking pink jumper teamed with a skirt that doesnвЂ™t make much sense but donвЂ™t diss that skirt till you see it later onвЂ¦ That said, the cover is probably the least inspiring of images. The little gasp of joy I inhaled when I picked up the latest issue of Burdastyle is about to manifest itself as an exhalation of excitable word spray! Grab yourself a cuppa, some delicious snacks and pull up a chair.
