More on dresses.

I'm a terrible, terrible person with clothes. Extremely fickle, never able to make up my mind, etc. Also because I don't think clothes fit all that well on me, so I usually end up looking at a lot and never buying anything.

After the two dresses previously that I couldn't imagine spending £150 on, I prowled on eBay for better deals and this is my latest find:


BNWT, currently at £41 and reserve not met yet. I <3 how it drapes at the bottom in waterfall layers.

But regardless of that dress (which bidding ends for tomorrow at around 10ish in the morning whilst I'm at work! I will surely be </3!), I did receive a Ghost dress in the mail two days ago. I ordered it around 2-3 weeks ago before I tried on any of the other dresses because it was only £50 from a designer brand sale. It looked red in the pictures on the site, but to my horror it was more like pink.

Ew.

But it's not bubblegum pink, thankfully, more like cerise or a deep rosy pink, so it's tolerable. It's got a lot of buttons at the back, which makes putting it on by myself impossible, so I had to enlist Boy's help to get it buttoned up. Why do people put buttons at the back where you cannot reach? We're not all practicing yoga, you know.

After we managed to get all the fiddly little things buttoned up, I went to put my highest heels on (my 4" suede black boots, in this case).

I'm too short for it.

Even with my highest heel, the skirt still drag at the bottom. I'll need another inch or two, but where the hell do I find something like that? Platform shoes? Actually, if I decide not to walk around much, I could just stand on a stool and no one would notice, the dress is so long.

Ugh. I need to hit the gym more, I think. My belly fat is showing. Either that, or invest in a really good pair of control knickers and decide not the eat or breathe the whole night of my brother's wedding.
