Lady in Black

I haven’t worn an all black outfit in absolutely ages.  In fact I have consciously been shying away from wearing black, after wearing it constantly for so long.  I fell out of love with it.
 
Today though I was riffling through my wardrobe looking for something cool to wear to the office when I came across a black dress that had escaped the great purge of January 2013.  Rather than throw it into the donations bag that I am currently collating, I decided to try it on.
 
My love of black was reignited. 
 
It made me remember that black can look great.  It doesn’t have to be depressing and used as a way to cover up and hide yourself.  This dress certainly doesn’t cover up much of anything on me being sleeveless and with the low neckline!
 
I had forgotten the power of a little black dress. 
 
It is probably a little too revealing in the chest area for the office and indeed when I tried it on my first thought was “Vicky, your breasts look too big in this dress”.  Then I remembered that my breasts are not going to shrink, they are what they are.  It’s a boiling hot day and I want something cool to wear so I’m wearing it.  Screw it.
 
So here are a few photographs of me in the dress and I feel great in it, fat arms out and all.
 


The dress is an old collection from So Fabulous at +Very.co.uk

Hope you are enjoying the sunshine!


 
 
 

A Day in the Life


Day 15 - A Day in the Life of Me

A sight I see nearly every morning, Elvis the Squirrel

Ready for work - got that I need coffee glazed look

My bus stop

Usually the water fountain is switched on, typically not today.  The Court House in the background

Not, I haven't loaded this upside down.  A letter box of a well known bank, been like that for ten years

Room with - well not much of a view!

My Messy Office!

Stairs to nowhere, leads to no doors, a useless space.  I vote filling it with water, could use a swimming pool

Lunch Outfit of the Day Photo

I stupidly put myself on the reception rota for two hours, The Times and my phone saved me from boredom

Planning my outfit for tomorrow

Movie and then bed!!
