Fashionomics Friday || Hot In The City
November 07, 2014
Again, I am happily linking up with The Fashionable Mum for Fashionomics Friday - which is fast becoming one of my favourite days of the week.
I'm also entering this into the Mystery Case Style Challenge - Outfit Under $50 which seems a bit cheaty because it's really only two items. I need to stretch myself a bit more on that one.
So, we begin with the weather forecast for Adelaide today, Friday 7 November 2014.
Partly cloudy. Winds north to northeasterly 20 to
30 km/h tending northeast to northwesterly 25 to 35 km/h early in the morning
then tending northwest to southwesterly 15 to 20 km/h in the evening. 39 degrees.
I will let Mr B. Idol say it for me here:
Luckily I had managed to catch the forecast yesterday
afternoon and immediately booked myself in for a half leg and underarm wax that
evening. Yay late night shopping! (and waxing!)
This morning, I rifled through my selection of dresses, looking for
something that wouldn’t immediately blow up in a stiff breeze and expose my
shapewear knickers to one of Adelaide’s busiest streets (has happened) or cause me to do a full Marilyn when the elevator lift shaft starts blowing air up through the gap (has also happened).

I settled on this pink, white and navy striped number which I
actually bought and wore while heavily pregnant in early 2012. It’s
forgiving around the stomach area without being a full and floaty empire waist.

I also like the slight ruching detail on the shoulder straps and the fact that
the arm holes don’t gape and show side-bra which is something that often plagues
me with sleeveless items. The buttons are fake which means no gaping. Yay!
On my feet, I have what are fast becoming some of my
favourite summer shoes, the white laser-cut slip-ons.

Love the colours in that dress! Thanks for playing along with our Outfit Under $50 challenge. I'm really looking forward to 'casing' your blog.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I saw my sister in law today who was wearing the black and white version which I immediately coveted.
