Haha Fanny,I’ve just looked in my wardrobe and I’ve got several dresses with patterns, so I clearly don’t follow my own advice. That’s so funny. I don’t wear dresses very often though so I’d forgotten. I wore completely plain black and navy for my mother’s funeral last week, but black separates. A black shirt, slightly flared, and a nice black top, plain but with a sheer black yoke and sleeves. And the sheer bit had little black spots on it. Then a dark navy lightweight formal jacket, black tights and dark navy flats with an embellishment on top (they’re gorgeous) and a dark navy bag with gold coloured chain strap. I think I looked okay.
