Dress Me Polly

The citrusy floral muumuu

Worn: Tuesday, 11th October 2011

Did you see the latest trend, on show at the recent NY Fashion Week - pyjamas as outerwear? If pyjamas can be day-wear, then I’m allowed to start a new trend: muumuus as work-wear. 

At first I wasn’t convinced this was a muumuu. Maybe just casual beach wear? But then I googled muumuu and came up with: “a loose dress that hangs from the shoulders… brilliantly coloured with floral patterns of generic Polynesian motifs.”

Er… that describes half of my wardrobe?

Can we make muumuus-to-work a new trend? Or is it only going to work in say, Laos and Fiji? 

Dress Muumuu: Tesco, Bangkok (yup, its a high end muumuu); Cardi: Temt, Australia; Belt: sidewalk stall, Siam Square, Bangkok; Shoes: Dorothy Perkins, online; Sunnies: Forever New, Australia; Watch: Seiko
