All dressed up...

...with nowhere to go. Read on however, this is good.

As I mentioned when commenting on Susie SoSo's blog post on 'dressing up' the other day, I am useless at it. I freeze. I panic. The 'special occasion-ness' of it all freaks me out and disrupts my thought processes, which are hardly smooth at the best of times!

Now and again, I have a 'test run'.

This outfit seems to work quite well. I will file it away in my 'ready -made -outfits -for -donning -next-time -I -need -to -dress -up - and- can't -think -straight' category.



Dress - Rick Owens 
Mules - Prada
Bag - Mulberry 
(all old, as old as the hills)

 PS.... I slapped on a bit of fake tan the other day. St Tropez Gradual tan - which is good if, like me, you are slapdash. Mistakes are not that obvious and can easily be 'filled in' the next day. :-)

  4. Thanks for the mention Anna. I don't like to think about what I'm going to wear when I'm going out - I just like to go with the flow otherwise I might have a panic attack and do mad shopping for something I don't really want.

    And that is a classy outfit - something I am sadly lacking.

    BTW the green lace skirt has hit the Zara sales!

    1. The skirt!! I know! (jumps around house like demented woman) - I stayed up till the witching hour and was delighted.. Now just need to source an opportunity to wear it. But if I love it, I'm getting it (my new motto). :-) x
