The last thing we need to be worrying about is what to wear right now. With homeschooling in full swing and barely a moment to ourselves between keeping on top of the home, the kids and work, feeling comfortable but still able to recognise ourselves when (if) we get chance to look in a mirror can be the difference between a good day and a terrible one.

I have found make up has become less essential as lockdown has gone on. Is there anything you have noticed you don't feel the need to bother with anymore? Aside from that though, I still like to wear something 'me' each day and I am a great fan of dresses. They make me happy, feel good and they are so easy to wear. Another plus is that they can suit every kind of figure and personality and whilst looking like a fashio nicon is likely the last thing on our mind right now, having something that is easy to throw on in the morning can cheer you up right away.
As such, investing in a few throw-on smock dresses is ideal. Don't run away at the sound of a smock...we aren't going all Little House on the Prarie (unless you want to!). There are styles to suit every one.
For example, this gorgeous Navy Dress which is super cute, very affordable and stylish.
I love the peplum sleeves and wasit detail and it is ideal for hanging out with the kids in the garden worn with flipflops, popping to the shops with some leather slides and going for a little neighbourhood walk with trainers.

If you prefer a a slightly longer style, then how about this gorgeous sweeping, leopard print dress from New Look? Light, airy, pretty and ideal for getting through the day looking and feeling great.

In this hot weather when we are stuck indoors with very little chance to get out you may like a natural linen dress to spend your day wafting around in like this gorgeous white dress which comes in a variety of colour.

There are so many great styles out there to suit every weather, mood, style preference, lifestyle and personality. So for a stress-free daily dress option, pop 'smock dress' into your search bar and grab yourself a slice of elegant easy-to-wear comfort!
This is one of my favourites! I am such a charity shop fan so most of favourite dresses come from them, but since they are all shut right now I am enjoying Amazon Prime's next day delivery plus Ebay and Depop for 2nd hand pieces.
Let me know where you love to grab a bargain!
