Colourful dresses - part 3 - blue (not feeling blue though)

In the video with the coloured dresses, I showed three of them. We already had two of them, so logic dictates that there's still one left to show and then that's it! Don't worry, I will still be wearing coloured dresses or sharing them here, but variety is the spice of life.. and she who controls the spice, controls the galaxy, far far away!

This dress is really what I consider a happy summer dress. Probably a bit too sweet and cute for a hip party in the city where you know half of the people are snobbily holding their drinks,.. but ideal for an outside brunch on a sunny day! :)

This one is from Dorothy Perkins and I ordered it on-line few years ago. The only thing I really need is a cute and matching belt to give it a bit of shape. It can be worn without a belt (click here to check out that outfit), but I do like the positive effect it has on my waist that way.



No surprise with the shoes.. my 5 inch high heels black pumps from Paula Soler again! No way you'll be seeing me wearing ballet flats, even though they would look cute with this dress.

You can see in the photo that I just wanted to show the dress and not that I was going to wear it for the dress of that day. It really got super cold and by this time, I was ready to get back in the house.. change back in my comfy warm clothes. If I actually had a fireplace, I would have spent the rest of the day warming myself at the fire. :-P

Last time I'll be bothering you with this video!

Colourful dresses - part 2 - red (no doubt)

With the previous dress, there was some confusion (especially on my part) about the exact colour of the dress. Fortunately, I got a lot of helpful suggestions.. with either flat-out telling me it was pink or fuchsia. Or people doing CSI-like analysis and giving me computer colour codes: HTML #d71199 (thanks JC!) which translates to "Strong Pink". Now you know and knowing is half the battle! :-P

With this dress, however, there is no doubt in my mind.. this is what I call red with a capital R!


I bought this dress at Forever 21 a couple of years ago when I was in California. Since my host had to work during the day, I figured I'd do some shopping. I instantly fell in love with this dress.. and I was so glad they still had one in my size!

Since it was getting a bit colder, panty hose was required.. and I completed the outfit with my 5 inch Paula Soler heels. I think I've written before how comfortable these heels are. While I have a lot of shoes (and I admit, when I ordered them,.. I was feeling a little bit guilty looking at my wallet), I was ever so relieved and happy that fit perfectly.

You've probably seen the video by now, but just in case you haven't, I have included it for ease of clicking! Enjoy!
