Pinafore Dresses, yes or no?

When I first saw on Instagram and magazines that pinafore dresses were in fashion I immediately had a flash back to my childhood years of being at school and wearing them under my cotton white shirt on a perfect summers day in the playground. I have a feeling many other people had this feeling when seeing this fashion item in stores. 

For me personally I think they look really good over a turtle neck jumper as an extra layer and with a nice jacket over the top, with some cute lace up heeled boots to complete the outfit. 

I've bought two of these and am in love with them. One I have recently bought from TopShop which I saw a YouTuber called Lily Melrose buy, on one of her TopShop hauls she does every now and then. I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it. It's a navy checked pinafore dress with a cute little pocket on the front which just adds to this cute piece of clothing. It's also so soft to touch and comfy to wear. You can look amazing in this with minimal effort in the morning. However, I would add that they are quite baggy around the chest area and I wish I had got a smaller size simply for the chest area but apart from that, I love this. 




The other pinafore dress I have I got from BooHoo.com which is an online store that's really good value for money. I got myself a little black one from there which tucks me in at the waiste which is very slimming and flows out like a skater dress unlike the TopShop one which is more bodycon. Again it was baggy around the chest area but I still love it nevertheless. 



Whether this fashion item will stay in fashion for long is another discussion as fashions change all the time. This is definitely I believe linked to the 60s/90s fashion trend I see coming in and out of fashion every so often. It isn't something for everyone as different trends suit different people. For me I believe this is a trend I will give a yes. 

I am in no means a fashion expert these are simply my opinions which I thought some people would be interested in reading about.
