Behind The Scenes at CQ: What we're wearing this week

dottypgemdress.jpg

As part of our Behind The Scenes feature, you guys suggested we show off what we've been buying and wearing each week. We used to do this quite a lot, but over recent months we been too scared busy to snap our ensembles. This weekend, that all changed.
