We love that one! It came to mind yesterday when I bought a pair of Louboutins in the boxing day sales. They were 60% off the original price, which means that they were probably slightly cheaper than they'd initially have been in the US (designer prices here are crazy, for some reason), so they were a good deal. </span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Anyway, when I was buying them at David Jones there were 2 ladies behind me in the line commenting that they could've bought 5 pairs of shoes for the price of my Louboutins (my first thought was that I don't need 5 more pairs - I already have about 150!). I'd heard them talking about their children before that, so obviously they were in a different stage of their lives to me. I wasn't sure whether I should've felt embarrassed, offended or guilty about buying the shoes after that, but I decided that I wasn't going to feel any of those things. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I can afford shoes like this at the moment. I may not be able to at any other stage of my life. But as I have no mortgage and no children, and a professional job, I'm going to enjoy the opportunity to buy beautiful, expensive things while it lasts, and no one is going to make me feel bad about it!</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_FUSQZm_hlYGxyolTRhGj-uPsTB6uLy4I-RPsBs12FstA9YNcNolD87N66hwD-WTQQGpKS-LOspCoJqSiCeOlkv79xLQfFsAowbXeQNUz9xxU2hBKu7s6mHXO3JkGPG9z0RXGlgleGJo/s400/IMG_7641.jpg" /></span></span></div>Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17611091047362314691noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6886434850973939043.post-18416601148337311742011-12-24T22:22:00.005+10:002011-12-24T22:38:41.724+10:00Confessions of a Shopaholic: Christmas!<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I love shopping. That probably doesn't come as a surprise to anyone, but I love every aspect of shopping. I know people who like owning things and purchasing things, but they're not fans of actually going to shops and browsing around. I think that's the best part! </span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I have to admit that I go to the mall pretty much every day. It's not really my fault - I work close to the mall, and I have to go there to buy lunch if nothing else. I like to go to different stores every day, because I just love looking around and seeing what's new, even if I don't buy anything.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Christmas is one of the best times to shop, because the malls all look so beautiful with their decorations. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6dlSTcjyn9kc5Y3tbCxu00Jq8HmOrEl8pRsqVa6MgDRbwblBTxP_AiT2RY4KVvfkdNXXBbj7vDYCKtMNHgtbysKKNR-QmzBOvdfO0_3-NpZdnfCC1W7tiWy801C8k03CQfaU9t8FDxHU/s400/IMG_2922e.jpg" /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I was considering not going to the boxing day sales this year. (When I told my best friend yesterday, she thought I must've been unwell). Sometimes I look at all the great stuff I already own, and I don't think I need any more. I've now decided that I probably <i>should</i> go to the sales as there are a few things I've been eyeing off (and/or put on hold!) which will probably be cheaper. But I have to keep in mind my 3 rules of boxing day sale shopping:</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">1. Get there early (find out when the stores open and be there as early as possible. If you're going to multiple stores, work out what you want most and plan when to go where).</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">2. Check out the stores beforehand (go a couple of days earlier if possible and work out what you want to buy, and even try it on if it's clothes, as the changing room lines are usually awful).</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">3. Don't buy things you don't need just because they're on sale (I definitely think it's important to go with a plan and not to go overboard with the unnecessary shopping).</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhASrF2qln1UYOL5qbFU_OrS-t9lnf16XHCdjhp13kjTVk8KgY72hrJAeXfyUn8BajFZlaPaSCF3aNN2JlsxXWYgcg7kRkrN-xucQF6Bp-pZHmoiWQBoFe52fxzJBcKeFvp2W1SVkUgkAw/s400/IMG_6672e.jpg" /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I've already had my big family Christmas dinner earlier this evening, and tomorrow will hopefully be a more relaxed day with my immediate family.

I tend to be a last-minute present buyer, but I do intend to start buying presents this week. I'm really excited about some beautiful shoes I'm planning to get for my sister, but I won't say too much yet in case she happens to see this! </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I am looking forward to starting </span></span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/Dressember"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Dressember</span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> next month, though - I think I've decided to do it, although I'm confused about how it all works as I'm a bit facebook-illiterate! Hopefully I'll work it out. In preparation for Dressember, I did a quick dress count today, and the results were surprising. I have about 128 dresses, but I really expected that I'd have less than 100! (That's not including the ones which need altering or repairing, and a few that I'm planning to sell). I'm pretty sure that one of the reasons I didn't participate in Dressember last year was because I didn't think I'd have enough dresses, so I really don't want to think about how many of those I've bought this year!</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXZZNXEzyupJIVcmm2rTW0mFCYGuQuFSZT_T8a0dTbI91foAVb7m8wqmLH4hR42x2EnEoPWbPKYxSP4sD2HBiSG-GWwAeKLMxs3xih8n17e8lDwbFCuMOKBxtktdd3IwC6m8LzHMgUvhw/s1600/IMG_7188.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left;

This year I got in early and bought a dress (the one of the far left in the picture below) which is black - not too festive, but I think it'll be cute with coloured shoes. I was planning to wear this to my work Christmas party, and I thought I had my outfit all sorted. Then I realised last week that I'll actually have about 6 Christmas functions to attend. So now I'm on a mission to plan all of my party outfits, hopefully without having to buy all new dresses! </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsOVnead2qllIhJ362hb5m8GuFWvJPOoYS7IUuqHx7Nr2Il86fR5s9HBGfcGeY52D1xR_83XdL5oDmjpBypwUl4TZI_DgB0L6UyX4T1IZLQg4mF2Ul4hk6QbL9_fTrpPABb4M9F-LmyIs/s400/IMG_7468.jpg" /></span></span></div>Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17611091047362314691noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6886434850973939043.post-36579405816414506532011-11-20T21:24:00.007+10:002011-11-20T22:23:46.320+10:00#119, 120 & 121 - Week 36<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">I'm thinking of participating in </span></span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/Dressember"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">Dressember</span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"> this year.

I had never heard of the store before, but I fell in love with their dresses after seeing Courtney wearing one in her blog. I went to the site and ordered a couple of dresses, but unfortunately I got the sizing totally wrong and ended up having to take them to my tailor and get them altered.

It's been a lot of fun, and it's actually caused me to think a bit more about what I want my shoe collection to look like - I've sold a few pairs of shoes on ebay lately, and have a few more I'm thinking of selling - but in some ways I'm looking forward to finishing it so that I can have a bit more freedom with my dressing again instead of trying to find outfits to match shoes that I still need to wear!</span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">This is an example of a dress I love that needs to be at least 2 inches longer. I'm about average height, but lately I just can't buy a dress that's an appropriate length for me! This one is from one of my favourite stores, <a href="http://www.review-australia.com/">Review</a>. As much as I love the store, I kind of wish their designers would realise that at their price point (usually $279 for dresses), most of their customers are working women in their mid 20s to early 30s who don't have many opportunities to wear tiny little dresses!</span></span></div><div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBJMSNb39BJkZOu7fpkfrFUYJsvtzQHw5DJJQU0834rbjH5TznbM0KOuNHGqk5KKnNXYuyiyo8o_gIFFqlVmfQ-sHQUjNMHXFVEEQi95hyphenhyphen1n3cociPwbYwoo00M48q9pSYHZFbRckvfBY/s400/IMG_6784.jpg" /><br /><div><br /></div><div>I just bought these shoes from China on ebay, but how cute are the little hearts? :)</div><div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicLQPO92SS4pjk14J9AmIi-io9JR_dLmpYkpQvEG4ULm5jCklWBvAmobTq7eRKQ-V_6WsQoGab3pEWwwOmFkBoRhc6B1P59bF7kQ0PZNnk9dtL73QAG8xvcLkvSAVirtvLueHu1XrWrYk/s400/IMG_6786.jpg" /></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I bought this dress in a random boutique a few years ago, and I really like how it looks, although the quality isn't great - I'm constantly having to repair the buttons.

That's true, and it's easy to find colourful clothes these days with the trends for colour blocking and bright colours. I have traditionally worn more pink and blue than anything else, but I'm really starting to gravitate towards colours like green and yellow lately.</span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Anyway, here's a lovely silk skirt I bought from one of my favourite stores at the moment, Jigsaw.

It's supposed to be silk but doesn't look or feel like it to me. There are lots of them for sale on ebay, which isn't usually the case with Kate Spade dresses. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I don't really mind if it is a fake, as I love it, and it almost fits me properly (which is a nice change for Kate Spade clothes, as they usually run quite large).</span></span></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrP5gd7epz5dX6uEfR1dCnvhZxlKw0DB1WFc0uIF8l2G2k2432nBb8fQdz0zReTO1mEv80gZ6IXWqN36vseHSQGkF9q0pn8wng-D239Cjxr5NaSPB-eRKFcrw6xlM5WqUABcaJz7NgsmU/s1600/IMG_6566+%25282%2529.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left;

I don't know how many dresses I have now, but there are an awful lot of them, and I buy at least one every week. But I can probably count on one hand how many comfortable dresses I own. Most of them are too tight in some places, or I'm constantly worrying about them being too short, or too low cut (even though most of my dresses are pretty conservative, really). </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">When I tried this rather simple dress on the other day (mainly because it's my favourite colour), I didn't like how it looked so much as I liked how comfortable it was! So I had to buy it, even though it is slightly too big for me (that's the story of my life, I might add). It's from Fleurette, which I think is a new label by Fleur Wood.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_BBSq4dGh0y7QUNpc06sjPyaf-AFXk-HPfnnGKXf0MgOXAcyUZan4A9hr2MOlMrj0loILm6A2NDpDVSyaEJMKovw25uozlxuivtfaruUMI3hC9fdvfRWuviyKDy7XtdRa-ZxGRQsUO4I/s400/IMG_6501+%25282%2529e.jpg" /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">J Crew is one of my new favourite places to shop! Although their clothes are mostly fairly basic pieces, I've found them to be really good quality, and useful pieces to add to your wardrobe. (The only problem I've had so far is that I somehow thought I was a US size 2, and I've since learned that I'm not. At least I'll know for next time). These J Crew Mona pumps come pretty close to being a perfect shoe for me. I want to buy them in as many colours as possible! They're simple, but they go with everything :)</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYWquZRWnoa0yTMUuQ4t-CWkNGnNQgM248eTjBp3dFPb7ESqgHNhOpJ_J0XqQN863e6RKlPKzbgLCOpeueauAwYduEBHo9_M41YqROv4GyqyamEV4BF75w3NEr0MeVsJ6N8PG2PIpsOIc/s400/IMG_6505+%25282%2529.jpg" /></span></span></div>Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17611091047362314691noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6886434850973939043.post-66437994359864151792011-09-09T22:21:00.002+10:002011-09-09T22:28:10.332+10:00Red soles<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I have a confession to make. I only own one pair of Louboutins. And it's not because I don't like them, or because I can't afford them.

I didn't know what to do. So I decided that I'd wear them, but only inside, and on carpet. (I even changed into flats when I was going to the kitchen or bathroom at work). </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">My sister has a pair of Louboutins too, and I've worn hers more than I've worn my own, because she's okay with wearing them outside. She's always telling me that they're meant to be loved and worn, and earlier this week, I decided that I was just going to do it. I wore mine outside for the first time, and they did get damaged quite a lot even from that one day. But I think I can accept it. Maybe now I'll look into buying another pair!</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAVscOdgFUwbeydMt1OkO3puSZB_XxDhyphenhyphencdHeQHzHYxzeyX3ghlgiWPUqApEqOsatOlWIBt4hLr596iKiVdo-GUktGr0cePRmjWaHRUtlbfxhTbeQkIPIzBrcnZ-TA26Ex0Qeg1HuJhvs/s1600/IMG_6553.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAVscOdgFUwbeydMt1OkO3puSZB_XxDhyphenhyphencdHeQHzHYxzeyX3ghlgiWPUqApEqOsatOlWIBt4hLr596iKiVdo-GUktGr0cePRmjWaHRUtlbfxhTbeQkIPIzBrcnZ-TA26Ex0Qeg1HuJhvs/s400/IMG_6553.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5650334194875096306" /></span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span><div><br /></div>Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17611091047362314691noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6886434850973939043.post-18449616452301159762011-09-09T22:04:00.004+10:002011-09-09T22:20:52.749+10:00#98 - On wearing heels<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">This was one of my shoe saves from last week, but I'm a bit late with posting again.

She said "I'm still enough of a slave to fashion that I try to wear heels to work." I was horrified because it's such a negative way of thinking about it. I never feel like a 'slave' to fashion. I love clothes and shoes, and putting together outfits. I know not everyone does, but if you don't like a particular type of clothing/shoes, why wear them? I know a lot of girls who just wear flats to work, and there's nothing wrong with that. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I generally wear flats on my way to work, and change them once I get there.

Sure, there is the occasional midi-dress around, but generally, dresses are way shorter than I want them to be. (Especially those from UK stores like Asos, Topshop, etc. I'm imagining the UK as a land where girls generally go around wearing inappropriately short dresses...) I don't like short dresses, because I am (a) conservative, (b) nearing 30, and (c) in a professional job. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">
<br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">Most of the dresses I own would be perfect if they were an inch or two longer. Maybe the problem is that I'm too tall. I've never really considered myself to be tall (I'm the shortest person in my family!), but I am apparently above the average height for women in Australia. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">
<br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">Anyway, for now I guess I'll have to stick with buying dresses that are cute but slightly short, and googling "how to make dresses look longer" (I'm thinking that wearing a tulle petticoat slightly longer than my dress might help). </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">

I had never really bought anything there before, but I was walking through it one day a week or two ago when I saw these shoes in a store window.</span></span></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4iHFK8C4Bzh1u-bNP6vr5D3dVXsfYXr_78maLx6G-sANelIw716mrATTXz54lwVJMusjRN4IfO5g3rkcnVigEDYjjpjklFiAOXujfqHStQjFy2SngjNg_TZoGoGTAKzkCZa2BllBQ8TM/s1600/IMG_6509.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 311px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4iHFK8C4Bzh1u-bNP6vr5D3dVXsfYXr_78maLx6G-sANelIw716mrATTXz54lwVJMusjRN4IfO5g3rkcnVigEDYjjpjklFiAOXujfqHStQjFy2SngjNg_TZoGoGTAKzkCZa2BllBQ8TM/s400/IMG_6509.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5645761222498604322" /></span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">
<br /></span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I immediately fell in love with them, because of their beautiful print and coral pink ribbon, and I knew they'd match perfectly with a dress I'd bought recently. The only problem was, the store was closed. I walked past a few more times over the next couple of weeks, and it was closed every time I went past. I started to think that maybe the store had shut down, and my beautiful shoes would be trapped inside forever! </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">
<br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">But one day, it was open, and I went inside and bought the shoes, even though they are too small and very tight. Have you ever bought a pair of shoes that were the wrong size, just because they were cute? I probably shouldn't have done it, but I've been googling "how to stretch shoes", and I'll see how that goes!</span></span></div>Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17611091047362314691noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6886434850973939043.post-66588038916360941722011-08-25T20:39:00.005+10:002011-08-25T20:59:13.170+10:00#94 - 50s style<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I've noticed that there have been a few retro/vintage-type events happening in my city lately, like retro car shows, vintage markets, etc. Apparently these types of things are really gaining popularity. I love 50s style dresses - most of the dresses I own are 50s influenced in some way - but I haven't been going to these events. I don't wear red lipstick, or style my hair in retro ways, or try to look like a pinup model (I don't have the figure for it!), and it seems like people who do attend these types of events are pretty serious about emulating the whole retro look and lifestyle. I do sometimes think that this is something I could really get involved in, though. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">
<br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">One problem for me is vintage clothes. I don't own any. I don't admit this to people very often, but I have some obsessive-compulsive traits, and I have difficulties even touching second-hand things like clothes, books, etc. I love to look at them, but I probably wouldn't feel comfortable wearing old clothes. I hope I'll be able to get over this eventually. But for now, I'm happy to stick with my new 50s style dresses!</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">

Well, this was last Friday's outfit. As you can see, I don't really do casual Friday... I think of it more of a chance to wear less businesslike but still dressy clothes, rather than being casual like most other people. After all, we have the weekends to be casual, so why waste a day when you could be wearing something nice? I like to dress up as often as possible. After all, you never know when something special is going to happen, and you want to be ready for it, right? :) </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">

They're all fitted, slightly above knee-length dresses with puff sleeves. I should probably point out that I don't wear a different dress every day - on the days I don't take photos, I re-wear outfits a lot more.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">

(Well, I'm not entirely sure how many I have, as I've yet to do a re-count following my recent shoe cull and a few purchases too). I'm surprised at how well it's going, but it's good to know that I'm getting some use out of all my shoes. I've found that I actually haven't been buying too many pairs of shoes this year, and I seem to be focusing more on buying clothes lately. Well, I need clothes to wear my shoes with, right? :)</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">
<br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Although I wear skirts and dresses most of the time, I like wearing jeans on the weekends, and when I go out at night. My sister bought a couple of pairs of coloured J Brand jeans recently, and they were so pretty that I decided to get some too. It was hard to choose just one colour, but I couldn't really see myself in red or yellow, so I ended up with this light pink colour. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_Vkrdb4tQK6bQz-fQd3fJw6DY1eSgNcap7gVAHaOpOjNcC0ZP5KPbSdo9aD81ZbyfQQsRMoPErzFLqFNWHE-74aCvvgocXFEIbmdt4nvwJZKUgfxVbK59CJzDJGC02j1ipjJH5Aznn8A/s400/IMG_6234+%25282%2529e.jpg" /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">These are some crazy coloured shoes that I don't wear often (they hurt! And they don't match anything), but I think they looked ok with this outfit!</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4Q2XAIlCVUNvHDXW3AQ7X32OBqRypMFPucfnXW2P3Yshxxt6SR2uWcgSmJudNys7ghiKWij6I5ohv1NZPbuNKVyI_HVTLY4rSCP0K5WrSdel2A9YLKcfK5Eyhatc1gC-B2JN1hSzlEVY/s400/IMG_6229+%25282%2529.jpg" /></div></div><div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">This was another of my beautiful Cue Spring dresses. When I was buying dresses at Cue recently, the sales assistant said that some of them would look nice with a light coloured cardigan and shoes, and it made me realise something quite shocking - I didn't own any nude shoes! I think the reason for this is that I love colours, and I'm always going to choose pink or purple over beige. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZNfV6lNizlx1EkPHGn-R-Cf0ngVTuvAQGkIYgx5_kvVo8c8WsXAuccGDJKDx-tAv0uOvOIPcUiGWjqIC8Ct4woXvVh6wVaqmUrtT_Byq6zNW5AzPCOwZD7nrMIpxtcEKvuRZVQ9PO4qk/s400/IMG_6241+%25282%2529e.jpg" /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">Anyway, I decided that this lack of nude shoes was a serious problem, and one which I needed to remedy right away! And I must say, I'm so glad I did, as I've gotten so much wear out of these shoes already. They're by Sandler.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHCj_ejUMtDuAAs0pNbaOBrF5Z5yHAdgL2TKoriFSgbfsTW2n50lkQhAnlizs4j6ThscdtMcz61c075Mjd1ZpQF1AsVM5EmsAdbm2tJt3fxE-kAPxdA8hVDdBDufLc2kcHygZaGKxWBxQ/s400/IMG_6243+%25282%2529.jpg" /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">
