If you're chanelling a fifties-style housewife look for spring 2012 then check out this pinafore style Shirtdress from Anthropologie.
Made of flattering pale lemon cotton and covered in a cute honey-bee print, the dress buttons down the front and has an elasticated waist, sash tie and contrasting white collar. Wear with tights and a polo-neck now, but come summer this dress will come in to it's own thanks to the low back and strap detailing and all you'll need is a pair of wedges to complete your look.
The dress costs £128 from Anthropologie – check it out online here.
