I did my nails with two glitter purple and three grey on each hand to match the purples and greys in the top. |

So in my last post I mentioned that I had a new dress. I am seriously utterly in love with it. I tried to get a lot of photographs of it to try and capture how good it is but to be honest they don't really go justice to how good I feel in it. It is incredibly soft. You may have noticed on this blog that I am always wearing sleeveless clothes. In fact even in winter I will wear a sleeveless top with a jumper and coat over it. I really really hate to be too warm or to feel trapped in clothing (I despise polo-necks too), and am always paranoid about sweating. However this is actually two items. Underneath is a greyish brown cotton tank top (super soft) and then the top item only has sleeves at the end, but is also loose over the rest. I think that being loose works to make me look thinner than a lot of other clothes do. Tight clothes show my belly bump, but here I can just imagine that I have a good stomach because no one knows! The batwing style is also very different from my usual colourful wear and thus makes me feel sophisticated and I guess 'fresh'. Unbelievably comfy and feeling that good makes me happy. I don't know that I have ever raved about one item of clothing so much (which should make the giver happy -thanks Nay!).
I am also clearly wearing it as a top not a dress and that is probably what it is for taller people, but when I pull down it covers my short shorts so that makes it a dress to me. This is what I wore to go to a big family gathering of my fiances side, but I intend to wear it to go clubbing too. I would then wear it with black tights and my gold heels.
Silly posing photo. I always start giggling when I try to do proper poses. |
There were loads of these beautiful flowers in the park near my fiance's parents house. There were lots of bees around but they wouldn't stay still long enough for photographing. |
oh how fun - it's really different, i haven't seen anything quite like it! and i love those nails you did to match

It's great to find an item of clothing that you love wearing - even better to have an other half who knows what you like and what suits you!
ReplyDeleteWanted to say thanks for the very thoughtful comment on my latest post re: body image etc... and to let you know I've written you a very long reply on my blog.
It feels so good to wear a dress you really love, I'm glad you shared yours! Pretty hydrangeas, too!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great top! I love it. It looks so comfortable and that hat is a lovely touch.
ReplyDeleteLove the pattern on your top/dress... looks great styled with the shorts and I can see it looking just as pretty in the fall with tights and boots. Hope your day is lovely!! xo veronika
