Pinafores reminds me instinctively of toddlers and junior secondary school. I still remember in horror, of the too long navy blue one of my junior secondary school days with the cream shirt and red ribbon. I couldn’t wait to finally get out of that and into my senior uniform of a skirt/shirt instead.
I eventually did and couldn’t wait to get out of that either – Do we ever really get satisfied?
But hey, it’s time to look past the traditional view of a pinafore that comes to mind and embrace the new modern and stylish flair of the pinafore dress, which is just too cool for school! (See what I did there? Lol)
I particularly like how easy it is to wear, once you figure out what to wear underneath : which can be pretty much anything!
I’ve had this pinafore dress for a long while now and I’ve styled it previously on the blog here.
I always wore it with my orange crop top and I never really thought to pair it with a white shirt till I accidentally tried it on while wearing a white shirt and realized how perfect it was!
I decided to own the look a bit more by adding some extras – throwing on my pink jacket (styled here and here) and white creepers.
I wore this to the bloggers brunch (here) last year and I thought I had lost the pictures forever in my memory card that got spoilt (remember I mentioned it here) but someone was able to recover it for me.
I hope you had a good day and your weekend started off right? I had a slight setback so I spent most of my saturday trying to get it fixed.

I own a pair of pinafore so I'm all for rocking it, you can pretty much wear anything on it. Love the pairing with the blazer.
Well we all wore pinafore, junior and senior secondary so there was no looking forward to a skirt.
Nah I don't think we get satisfied, after all there's always a chance to grow, why limit ourselves?
I love the fact the pinafore can be dressed up and down.

I totally fell in love with pinafores while watching pretty little liars, one of the girls (Spencer) usually wears them and she gives it this corporate girl style I love, I love your styling of the pinafore non the less.
Corporate girl style? I'll definitely love to see that so I'm going to google her/the show now and hope a picture of it comes up.
Thanks Val.
Cassie you are so so pretty. Love how the purple and pink go together and the white sneakers just give the perfect balance. xx

Pretty colours. I love how you styled this.

This look works perfectly. I especially like the jacket. Didn't think I'd go back to a pinafore but with this I can definitely try.
You look great! Nice outfit!

My pinafore in nursery/secondary school was in plaid – so cute!
Now, if I were to style this – black blazer, white shirt, more fitted pinafore, and heels or simple flats.
