Being the practical girl that I am, I think dresses and skirts with pockets are just brilliant. I am certainly not the first girl to think this, and I hope I won't be the last.
Pockets on skirts and dresses instantly take the edge off a piece of clothing, they have a way of making themselves incredibly useful, they make your handbag optional, and you look extra jaunty swinging down the street with your hands in them!
These examples prove that practicality need not be dowdy. What's not to love?
