There's nothing like a perfect day dress to make you stand a little taller: I've been loving French Connection dresses lately (also wore one here) because they fit me right off the rack and seem to make the right parts smaller while highlighting what they should. This checkered one was no exception; I debuted it for brunch with some favourite blogger girls this past weekend and it proved to be the ideal balance between a ladylike frock and a no-fuss, casual piece... while also strategically hiding my post-meal food baby!
