When it comes to pet names, my husband’s and my choices are…interesting.
I was dubbed Monkey early in our relationship, with no clear reason. Â Was it my excellent monkey sounds? Â My aptitude for hanging upside down by my legs (i.e. trapeze class)?
I don’t think I’ll ever know.  But when I came across this dress from ASOS, I knew I HAD to own it.
And when it arrived, I HAD to put it on immediately.
It’s not a dress I’d wear to a business meeting or conference for the day job, given how short it is. The rest of the time? Â Abso-f*$(ing-lutely.
Worn alone with sandals or with a blazer (scored on major discount from The Outnet) for a little more polish, it works with everything.
I love this dress so much that I bought an extra one.  Just in case.
Monkey see, monkey do.
Note – if you’re between sizes, size up.  The size 6 (pictured here) was on the snug side, and the size 8 had a loose fit that was still flattering.
