I grew up with the Joe Browns catalogue. I have many a memory of sitting in the 6th form common room flicking through the pages and adding items to my Christmas list.
I admit, as time progressed, I kind of forgot about their existence. I stopped getting leaflets in the post and with so many retailers to choose from their website wasn't the first that sprang to mind when shopping online.
It was a surprise when they got in touch last week, asking if I'd like to take a look and pick a dress to feature on my blog. All those memories came flooding back, and although no longer my typical style I found myself coveting many a thing...I think it's the quirky cuts and slightly off-beat nature that won me over; just like it always used to.
(Not to mention they have a mega sale on right now, too).
Naturally I headed straight for the floral dresses.
I love my new dress! It's more...I don't know...I can't think of the right word. It's not the first thing I would pick in a shop, and yet something drew me to it. The colours, the shape, the fact it's cut and fits like a dream. The perfect "day off but don't want to wear jeans" kind of dress....baggy jeans induced comfort included.
Anyone else a Joe Browns fan? Do you have memories of the brand, and will you be giving them a second look now?
What stores hold memories for you?
Happy Monday guys,
back to work for me today!

I used to order things from Joe Browns quite a lot ! Lots of florals and floaty skirts and dresses!
The Percy Pig lolly is pure genius, where are they being sold? And I love Joe Browns, but I only just found out about them a short while ago, I didn't know they'd been going for a while. I love their jackets and cardigans. And you look so pretty in this dress, the cut's lovely. xxx
These photos are gorgeous. You look like a perfect model :) xx

Ok, let's get the important bit out of the way first...PERCY PIG ICE CREAM!
I've seen m&s tweeting like mad about their crazy new pp stuff, I was a bit dubious 2bh...can anything beat the original mr.pig?!
I too had totally forgotten about Joe Browns - I think we still get the little brochure, but it's never really looked at! Maybe now I'll have a gander - you look lovely in that dress :) x
It's a lovely dress but I was more drawn to the Percy Pig lolly! Clearly I think with my stomach haha
Great outfit :) xx

stop playing around with white light to alter your pictures you can see it with you zoom to 800 you make the background white and then alter the pixel to make you look sicker
Such a beautiful dress! I got an invite to their A/W launch but alas it's on a Friday evening and I can't get there in time after work. Such a shame :(
