How Do You Wear It?

First Date Outfit - Too much?

I have a question. Do you dress for a man/other half or do you dress for yourself?

I have to be honest, I'm guilty of doing both. I've had boyfriends tell me they prefer my hair straight or that headbands look silly. Usually when it's a boyfriend that's saying this stuff I do the exact opposite. I am an 'independent woman' after all. Ha.

But the times when I find myself wondering what a man will think is if there's someone I am trying to impress at a party or a potential meeting of new people (men). This happened only the other day, when a friend ensured us single ladies that there would be lovely gentlemen at their party. As I threw the contents of my wardrobe around the room to find an outfit, I questioned an outfit for being one my female friends would appreciate, but men would find odd. Ridiculous? Yes. I immediately chided myself for being 'that girl'.

But a few days later, I was flicking through a magazine encouraging just that. An array of celebrities in their outfits being judged by a panel of men. Guess which one was their favourite? A picture on an Olsen twin in ripped skinny jeans, a baggy checked shirt and bedhair. Of course, if anyone was going to pull this off and look damn hot, it would be an Olsen twin, but the point remains. These men found her far more approachable and liked that she wasn't too try hard.

It's a bloody minefield. Whilst I didn't expect them to pick The Saturday girl in a horrifying 'Mixi dress' (it's a mullet, people. C'mon!), I get the sense that being 'fashionable' is a turn off.

Just say no.

Yet standing knee high in flowery dresses and biker boots, I kind of thought, sod it! I bloody love my wardrobe and to be quite honest if he's going to go the distance, he's going to have to love it too. Especially if he wants to squeeze into any part of it.
So I put this to you gorgeous single ladies out there, who do you dress for?

Dress Me

Feeling a bit overwhelmed this week. So to get over all that I've been browsing pretty dresses! I counted how many I had the other day and I'm afraid it's got to over 30..whoops. But there's always another occasion to wear them! If you'd like to buy me any of the below, I will ♥ you forever.



Looking forward to a very chilled out weekend with my very favourite people :) They truly are my Southsea Famliy! I forsee lots of baking, a trip to Belle Isle and some good old film watching. Cannot wait.

Rockabilly ♥

Rockabilly. Red lipstick, flicks of eyeliner and swing skirts..what's not to love? I have always loved the fifties and how the beautiful the clothes fit to a woman's curvy body. But with rockabilly, it has just that little more edge. Even better! Tattoos, pin ups and skulls give me that little extra thrill when looking at pictures :) I am particulary fond of the sailor themed dresses at the moment..anchors and navy blue ♥

So here are some beauties I have come across in searching for my perfect birthday dress....rockabilly of course ;)

♥

I very nearly bought this dress for my birthday, but sadly the ebay auction ended before I could purchase! Hoping they put some more on soon...
