Tassia in the UK - Bath.. back after 5 years!

Alright, alright.. I know what you're all thinking.. enough with the UK holiday posts, already! It's almost autumn (or fall) and I'm still posting stuff from my holiday in May. This will be the last one.. I swear, but this is also the one UK holiday post that has a special place in my heart. :-)

You see.. back in May 2009, more than 5 years ago,.. I started going out into the public. Not just standing outside nervously for a quick pic after which I dove inside the house! Proper going to other cities by public transport.. shopping in stores.. going to bars. And by August 2009, I went on a small holiday to.. yes.. the UK. And during my time there.. I did dress.

So, being back in Bath after 5 years.. dressed up again, with more confidence,.. it was quite a memorable moment. And I did insist on getting a photo of me in front of Abbey Church,.. just like I did back in 2009. :-D

Me at Abbey Church, Bath, 2014

Of course, I did most of the things tourists would do. Sight-seeing, shopping.. and when I saw one of those typical red phone boxes.. I just had get a photo of myself in it. I think it matches well with my red leather jacket. :-P

As you can see in the photos, the weather that day was perfect and when it's sunny,.. I think Bath is at its most beautiful!

Even when the wind was blowing because of all the high buildings and churches.. it was possible to get some nice pictures. Of course, I once again was lucky that I was accompanied by a friend who was willing to take multiple shots of me. If it weren't for her.. or my other friends, making these blogposts (or stuff on Flickr, Facebook or YouTube).

Anyway, just wanted to make this a short and sweet little post about how after I revisited Bath all dressed up after 5 years. It's moments like these that make me pause and look at the journey I've taken. :)

Just like the previous UK posts, no videos.. so enjoy the videos with the short dress and pink dress. See ya next time! :)

Pink dress.. I think.. blue heels.. I know!

So, we've had a few posts with black and white dresses. Simple, effective.. and if you're standing indecisively in front of your closet.. you can just take an LBD or LWD.. combine it with a leather jacket and some heels. Et voila, you're done!

Now, if you've seen my pics in the recent years, you must have noticed that I have been wearing more and more different coloured outfits. Some colours work, some don't.. and you can actually have someone do a proper analysis. They will look at your skin colour, skin tone, hair and eye colour and they will give you a list of colours and shades. Buy clothes in these colours and it should all match perfectly!

Of course, me being me.. I take the more straightforward (okay okay.. lazy) approach and I just experiment and try out a lot of things. :-P

I will admit,.. I am not good at recognising and naming colours and it's probably a good thing I'm not a painter! So, this dress by Steps.. I think it says "pink" on the label, but a few months ago I had a different dress and that one was in the colour "fuchsia". And in sunlight, I would guess those two dresses have just about the same colour.

Any opinions here? I'm sure there must be a few among you who are able to tell the difference between 30 shades of pink!

The easy part.. those are the cute and sexy peep-toe pumps with a 5 inch heel from Dorothy Perkins. I know that colour and that colour is blue! :-P

Of course, I could've gone for the safe option and worn black heels with this dress. I think it would've worked and perhaps I would've done that for an occasion like brunch or just shopping with the girls. But, for a party or a bit more formal (yet festive) event, I'd like to go full blast rainbow colour mode! :-P

One other thing I've discovered while being out and about getting my pictures and videos taken, is that stairs are awesome props! Walking up and down.. placing each foot on a different step.. it all introduces a bit of variety and dynamic. And it's just a great way to show off heels! :-P

Another important thing when driving around looking for nice photo locations? Making sure the car is all filled up so you don't get stranded somewhere in the middle of nowhere in a farmers' town, where they just look at you funny because you're all dressed up like that getting photographed! ;-)

And yes, I acutally got some video footage of me in this dress. This dress is a bit longer than the previous white dress.. so for some that's a good thing. I do suspect that for most.. it's rather a bad thing though! :P

So, the second video down below is a convenient link to the white short dress. I still hope you like the first video as well!

See ya next time! :)
