I have a lunch appointment today, so I thought I'd better smarten myself up a bit!  This lovely hot, balmy weather is making me want to walk around in next to nothing, which is fine for slobbing around the house, but not fine for meets with suppliers.  So, this little number is one of the dresses I snapped up last week in the Myer 30% off sale.  It's from Tokito and I really like the cut and detail of this dress; the puffy sleeves, big pockets, stitching round the neck and the purple backed sash belt.  Nice touches to a LBD. And my Steve Madden plum stilettos are the prefect match.

All set for a free lunch in a nice restaurant by the sea. Yay! I won't need cook dinner tonight.  The family can fend for themselves!

While on the subject of cheap wearable clothing, I found this dress in Target marked down to $12! Too good a bargain to resist.  It's light and comfortable and has the prerequisite (tie) belt. Maybe it's a tad frumpy, but I figure it's fine for an everyday work/about the house dress, and I like the monochrome print.

Work. I'm actually quite busy. So a serious work dress for today.  I normally wear this dress with a black belt and heels, but I thought I'd go for a bit of contrast.  I tried a few options.  I wanted to go pink, but I dunno, it just didn't work somehow... So cream it is.

Right back to it... I need to see a man about a dog...

Monday again. It'll be Christmas before we know it!

Today I am wearing one of my favourite work dresses. You’ve seen it before, but I haven’t worn it for a while. It’s my Basque peplum, belted dress with black flower applique. The grey/black print makes it a bit more interesting than a plain colour. And I must admit to liking a little subtle animal print every now and then. My dear husband blames my Essex girl genes for this, and he’s probably right. I have added my pearls and Peeptoe black patent peep toes (that are still too tight, but you have to suffer sometimes for shoes right?!).

I'm bloody desperate for a shopping trip!  I had to restrain myself all weekend.  I still haven't been to the Tony Bianco shoe sale (extra 20% off).  It's killing me.  I hate to miss out.  But I'm being a GOOD GIRL! Grrrrr!
