Dressember: day 11.

Sunshine, daisies, butter, mellow – turn this stupid fat rat yellow.

Jokes, I’m not a rat, but I was turned yellow for the day.

BEHOLD THE AMAZINGNESS WHICH IS MY NEW SUMMER DRESS.

Please ignore my stupid pose, I was being a twat.

I swear I could probably do a month of blog posts about the stupid poses or faces I pull when getting my photo taken. I just can’t stand there and smile. I think part of it is that I hate having my photo taken – I like being behind the lens – so I have to do something stupid every time to make the picture bad. That’s some stupid thinking, but hey, here I am with no good pictures AT ALL.

I bought it yesterday from City Chic. I LOVE IT. It’s bright, comfortable and the fabric feels so good. It was amazing wearing it today, except when we ventured in to Ponsonby and the clouds decided to come in and the wind was cold. Then it was not so great, but for summer, I’m going to be as cool as a cucumber.

Dressember: day 10.

Day late on my post, I know. This is what I wore on Saturday. Not much to say about this dress. It’s one I wear a lot in summer because it’s comfortable and cool. I got it from Farmers last year and wore it heaps and will most likely do the same this summer.

On Man Piece’s and my first weekend together, I wore this to Somme’s Island and got massively burned. I has square shaped burn marks on my boobs for months! It was horrible. And I couldn’t really wear anything else after that because I had these massive tan lines. NEVER AGAIN. I learned my lesson.

I hope. Note to self: find sunscreen.

It does make my boobs look fabulous.

Dressember: day 9.

I cheated a bit today.

I wore jeans.

I couldn’t help myself! The call was far too strong and the urge to just not wear a dress and leggings overcame me!

However, there was another reason for sinking low and finding my way back to the delicious denim feel and that is because the tunic/top I was going to wear is not at all appropriate with pantyhose or leggings. Jeans or some other form of pant must be worn with it.

If I had not worn jeans, I would have ended up most likely showing my ass to the majority of Takapuna. Yes, the tunic covers the area, but any movement could have me done for indecent exposure. And, in all honesty, it would make you go blind.

So I took one for the team! I still wore a “dress”, but in order to be a lady, I HAD to pair it with jeans. And it felt SO GOOD.

This tunic is from Ezibuy and I originally bought it for my sister’s engagement party. I usually do wear it with jeans, but have once worn it with pantyhose and it was not a pretty experience.

I’ve also put on a bit of weight since originally buying it, so the small amount of movement I was able to get away with when not wearing pants has decreased to non-existent. It is still a great “long top” though. Probably one of my most favourite pieces of clothing – the whole reason I won’t give it up because I’ve put on a little weight.

Dressember: day 8.

I decided to dress up a bit today, in that way that you don’t really dress up at all.

I wore my city chic denim dress that I bought for my birthday this year. I’ve been told by various people I look hot in it.

I paired it with leggings, gladiator sandals and my linen jacket.

I thought dressing up would make me feel better, but not so much. Today has just been a fail of a day. Ugh.

As it’s a boobtube dress and by boobs are double d’s and can’t be let loose on the unsuspecting public, I wear a normal bra with it, but as long as it’s black, it just looks like it’s part of the dress.

Dressember: day 7.

Sorry I’m a day late with this one. Yesterday got away on me.

I wore one of my dresses from Australia. This one was from the City Chic discount store in Melbourne. I was feeling a bit dubious about it today, I think I was a bit uncomfortable in it. I still haven’t found a good way to wear it with leggings or pantihose. Will have to keep experimenting.

And it’s pink. We wear pink on Wednesdays.
