Wardrobe Wednesday - Something floral.
'Something floral' is a wonderful theme for me. It is a rare occasion that I'm not wearing something at least a tiny bit floral. And this week is no exception.
This was me on Monday.
I dropped Aesop off on Monday morning and then Otto and I went out for a walk along the river bank. On the way back I walked past a group of teenage boys, loitering around, and they decided it was necessary to make some very rude comments about me and remind me just how 'fat and gross' I am. Charming.
I came home, a little bit disappointed, but then decided 'F**k it' and put on a dress that is shorter that I would normally wear, and a little tighter too, and actually felt good about myself. Not sure where the logic is in that one, but it worked on the day.
I wore this dress nearly non-stop during my year-long exchange to The Netherlands (about 9 years ago..), and since then have not worn it much at all .I've either been too pregnant, too fat, too thin or it just hasn't brought back good memories. But I have decided that it's time to bring it back into rotation for a while.
It also perfectly matches my new $10 metallic purple flats from the Warehouse, and pretty much nothing else will. Hahah.
(The bracelet was from Juniper gallery a few years back. and if you'd like to join in, or see the other pretties, head over to Clares place.)

Teenage boys are pretty gross, I think. But you look a-maz-ing. That dress fits perfectly, and look at that waist! xx
ReplyDeleteOnce again m'lady, you look fantastic and those stupid kids don't know a classy, good looking girl when they see one. I think that dress is a fantastic fit on you. x
ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous!! That's the logic. Show those numbskulls. If I had a dress that fit me like that, I would wear it a LOT.
ReplyDeleteho hum to the boys they just silly i say you look grand!
ReplyDeleteExcellent dress - man, you have the best clothes!
ReplyDeletePS...thanks for your lovely comment!! Nothing like a compliment to improve your day ;)
ReplyDeleteLove that dress. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI wonder how many of those smooth talking teenagers have girlfriends with mouths like that? Very styly outfit!
ReplyDeleteteenage boys suck....you are looking a styling as ever :)
ReplyDeleteIcky boys... You (and your whole ensemble) look fab!!! (as per usual!! :P)... hope your arm is not so sore too. x
ReplyDeleteGreat outfit - you look gorgeous! (silly hurtful teenage boys!) :)
ReplyDeleteWahoo thats a fantastic dress and shoes and bangle, I wish I had the shutzpah to pull something like that off. Poor boys are obviously so insecure they have to find fault with innocent passers by. Bet they feel all lonely and misunderstood and don't have at least a dozen people declaring that your fashion sense rocks!
ReplyDeleteDoll, you are fricken awesome! Silly little boys! If only they knew! :-).
ReplyDeleteI love your dress! I mean I really, really love it! Please keep it on rotation :-).*
*gasp*...like, BAM! that dress is sweeeet! (i might have to stop breastfeeding and find me one of those for summer. too cute!)
ReplyDeleteoh, and you know we're gonna have teenage boys of our own soon enough...eek!
xo
Sounds like those boys would have picked on anyone who walked by and that it was more about looking cool in front of their mates than it was about you. You are gorgeous and have great taste in clothes!
ReplyDeleteMy best friend has set up online shop that sells vintage for the voluptuous, she has some great clothes on the site and is Auckland based so you might be interested in checking it out.

You look fabulous and I agree with what's already been said re those rascally boys - they would have said something to anyone & no doubt just trying to be tough in front of one another - like some stag ritual - give them a set of antlers each and they could butt each to pieces, instead of being so mean to passers by.
ReplyDeleteI live your dress and you look fab x
Oops meant 'love' not 'live'!
