Dressember: day 8.

/ Lisa / 1 Comment

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.

Dressember: day 6.

Day 6 is taking a turn for the saucy.

I didn’t mean for me to took like this in the photo, but Man Piece just kept taking pictures and as it turns out this was the best one of the lot. Seriously, the others I just look horrible, so really I am saving you from having a “Gah! My eyes!” moment. Or you might be having it anyway for having to see my pasty white, flabby arms.

Eh, ya win some, ya lose some.

Plus, I’m being my true Hawke’s Bay self with my bra straps showing #stayclassy. You can take the girl out of Hawke’s Bay, but you can’t take the Hawke’s Bay out of the girl. Even if I do live on the Shore now.

Anyway, back to the dress. It is from Pagani and what really caught my eye was the detailing around the neck. Loves it. This is quite a good piece too, cause I can wear it with leggings in the summer as a dress and with jeans in the winter as a long top to hide my muffin top named Bob.

Yes I have named by stomach, it is an entity in itself and deserves the honour of being named.

I was much more comfortable today wearing cotton, but you know how thighs touch? The entire day I have been very aware of this and that when i walked the rubbing made and “trch trch” sound. Yes, I also happen to overanalyse. You people probably think I’m weird.

 

Dressember: day 5.

So I’m a bit slack and didn’t get dressed yesterday, thus no day 4 blog post. I lounged around the apartment in leggings and a singlet, which I also tend to sleep in. Thus the not getting dressed part. Why bother getting all dressed up if you’re not even going to leave the house? Lazy, but brilliant.

So anyway, I continued with dressember today with a pretty cool tunic I got from Autograph when visiting Australia. I thought it would be great, because it is sleeveless, and today was a bloody hot/humid day. Seriously, I was sweating like a pig.

Why do they call it sweating like a pig? Do pigs even sweat?

Back to the dress.

Downside is that IT DOESN’T BREATHE. So here I was, on a stifling hot day, wearing the worst dress imaginable. I think the way to best describe it was ‘melting’. Yanno, like the which in The Wizard of Oz. JUST LIKE THAT.

It has some upsides to it though, like looking pretty and having an empire line and the domes, which make it look all punk like. COME AT ME BRO.

Needless to say, I was pleased to get out of it at the end of the day.

Naturally, I paired it with leggings. THEY ARE NOT PANTS.

Dressember: day 3.

Today was pretty hot and muggy, so I decided to go with my super summery dress (with leggings).

I got it from a shop called Caroline Eve. Not sure if they are throughout NZ, I’ve only ever been to them while in Hawke’s Bay, but they have some decent stuff.

It’s so pretty and bright. It doesn’t give you that “ugh, I’m wearing too many clothes” feel either. Perfect for going for a walk to the mall, along Takapuna beach and eating an ice cream. In which the messy child in me dripped ice cream on my dress, but I hope you can’t notice that.

THIS IS WHY I CAN’T HAVE NICE THINGS.

Oh, and yay for empire line! Sort of.
