#119, 120 & 121 - Week 36

I'm thinking of participating in Dressember this year. I wear dresses every day anyway, so I don't think it'd be too much of a challenge for me!

I have to thank a fellow shoe challenge participant, Courtney, for introducing me to White House Black Market. 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. Anyway, the tailor actually loved this dress, and I told her about the website, so she might actually end up getting one herself :)

These shoes are from Moschino Cheap & Chic, and I must say that upon putting them on this time, I realised that I don't like them as much as I thought I did. The crossover strap makes them a bit uncomfortable, and the heel stops are quite soft and are likely to need replacing soon.

This dress is from Jigsaw, another local brand I love. It's a simple shirt dress, but I love it because it's so comfortable, and it's a great retro style - it reminds me of the dresses Emma Stone wore in 'The Help' :) My cat seems to have appeared in this photo somehow...

These shoes from Poetic Licence are the kind of shoes that get comments from strangers because they're just so bright and noticeable :)

This is another dress from Jigsaw that I wore for a weekend in the country. How cute is this little pony? I think he wanted some food though, and unfortunately for him I didn't have any!

Simple ballet flats from Asos, but I liked the mint green colour.

#42 - Lost

I feel a bit sad today, because I lost my bracelet. I ordered a really cute ring and bracelet from Kate Spade and just got them in the mail earlier this week. I wore them for the first time today, and the bracelet had quite a flimsy clasp and kept opening up. I went out to the mall today looking for a light gold or beige belt (which is surprisingly hard to find, I might add), and on the way back to work I realised that my bracelet had fallen off. I don't hold much hope of finding it now, and I don't know whether or not to order another one, because as much as I like it, I wouldn't want to risk losing a second one.

Today's dress is from Cue, which is another Australian brand. They make mostly work wear, and most of their clothes tend to be in dull, dark colours, so I was surprised to find this bright pink dress there in the Christmas sales last year. I think of it more as a 'Friday' dress, but as I couldn't find the dress I'd intended to wear today, I ended up wearing this one. I love dresses in this style, as you can probably tell! My shoes are super cute Love Moschino heart sandals, and I fell in love with them the first time I saw them. I almost didn't end up buying them, because they didn't fit too well because of the diagonal straps, which were too big for my feet in my usual size. They're more special occasion shoes than all-day wear shoes, as they're not the easiest to walk in for any length of time. But their cuteness makes up for that, I think. I never really understand when I go shoe shopping with friends and they try on shoes and deliberate about how comfortable they are. Unless you're shopping for running shoes, I don't think it really matters. I can't really see myself passing up a pair of beautiful shoes just because they're not comfortable!
