I've managed to buy a completely useless floor length 1930s silk A-line cheongsam style dress. Just to top off the "I will never actually wear this" it is sleeveless. But it fits so I had to get it.

I can relate to this - I have dresses which I have never worn because I don't get to go to dressy up things any more.

Maybe we could start a posh frock meet up group where we bring glamour to unglamorous places.

They're 46 and overweight, like the rest of me.

They give really good hugs though and cuddles for little people too. xx

I just moaned earlier that I have bought 4 dresses in the last year that are lovely but I have had no chance to wear. I wholly approve of this idea.

One thing I can't complain about in murica is the price of trainers. $19 new and delivered from filadirect on eBay. Thats just over £11. Bargain. And I thought Sports Direct weren't bad.

Or even go to glamorous places!

I was thinking the Anerley Arms....

Actually, I'm not really sure where is 'glamorous' these days - perhaps that's why the dresses remain in the wardrobe.

I got a 100ml bottle of bright orange Crazy Colour which I'm gonna do a test with this weekend.

How many applications for short/medium hair will 100ml do, do you think? I'm thinking it might be two at a push but dunno.

I'm not sure either but I'm pretty sure it's not the Anerley Arms...

although I suppose we could glam it up.

Oh, other frock news is that I ordered two in my normal size from Lindy Bop thanks to the link that Manter posted earlier, and they were both much too small.

Already planning on doing that with one of mine (if I can get into it by then).

Grr! I hope you're going to tell them how far their sizes were out?

Today I bought a silk dress from TKMaxx. I may take a photo tomorrow when I wear it

I got given a bag full of stuff from my mum's colleague's daughter to go through yesterday before it went to the charity shop. Nothing I'd ever buy for myself, but I tried a few things on and they looked alright so I've managed to expand my wardrobe a bit. I'm also having nice dress problems now - when the fuck am I going to wear this?!

I luvs it though

If you love it, you'll find an excuse to wear it sometime.

Chemistry cat PJ pants

[gaijingirl]

The PJs are from KMart, the dress from ASOS.

 

[gaijingirl]

ooh.... ASOS huh? shit.. I must stop buying dresses!

I did get a brand new dress yesterday that I rather like for £3.50 in the charity shop. It was only a tenner from Primark in the first place but nice to get something I like for so little.

 

[such and such]

I'm not sure if this is going to cause more issues but ASOS has a code for 20% off all sale items. I'm a filthy enabler

I do keep getting these emails from them.. there was a sale earlier this week where I stopped myself buying a coat for next winter. Which probably wasn't the worst idea to be fair but I must stop spending money on this stuff. I've sent gaijinboy back to the charity shop for another dress I saw. As i said above - I dno't actually have any opportunity to wear these things so it Has To Stop!

Did not even attempt to resist when Desigual came up on Secret Sales. And have been wanting a potentially 'dressy' short sleeve top anyway. Sorry about hyowge pic:

Perfect for your colouring and proportions.

new frock
Bugger, too small to see. Take my word for it, it's lovely.

I hope so... I must say, historically that draped sleeve thing often hasn't worked as well as I'd imagined it would on me, but I think the proportions are probably right for this one.
