I walked by the dress, paused midstep, turned on my heel and walk straight into the store. Once I saw it, I knew I had to have it. Thank you H&M, for a dress that's equal parts Granny, BoHo, and romantic. If the colour hadn't sold me, the loose ruffled construction and drop waist would have.

For a day of seeing live theatre and enjoying one of the year's last lunches on a patio, this green midi dress, flat black boots and cat lady bag were a perfect fit.
