#15 - Dressing Up

As you've probably noticed, I love clothes and shoes, but I cannot do hair or make-up at all. So I generally don't bother (hair is either 'up' or 'down' - there are no other styles. And make-up consists of mascara, foundation and lip gloss). I also don't particularly care for bags, even though a lot of girls who like shoes tend to like bags as well. This was the first time I'd worn this dress. I bought it a couple of weeks ago, but I had been debating about whether it was something I could wear to work. When I bought it, the sales assistant said she wanted to buy it too, to wear to a wedding. While I agree that it would be a nice dress to wear to a wedding, I don't really have any weddings to go to in the near future. I was having a discussion today with another sales assistant about dressing up. I like wearing pretty skirts and dresses, and I have to go to work 5 days a week, so I figure that I might as well wear things I like on those days. I know a lot of people who think that work isn't worth dressing up for, but if I didn't dress up for work every day, I'd have few occasions when I could!

These are some shoes I've had for a while, and they're from Diana Ferrari (which I think is an Australian brand). I don't wear them much as they're the kind of shoes that feel like they're cutting into your feet as soon as you put them on! But I do like the colour.
