Er...we have a slight problem

You know the whole not buying dresses thing? That's working out just fine...the problem is that the shops are now also full of gorgeous high-waisted skirts. High-waisted skirts suit me down to the ground - they show off my waist, but hide my hips and stomach. Excellent! So in the past few weeks, I have bought:




From top: H&M, £5; Peacocks, £7; Primark, £9 (yes, the Primark skirt was the most expensive!) This is IT, though, I promise! I have a shameful amount of stuff in my wardrobe and I really, really will be making a huge effort to wear and love the things I have instead of buying new things!

I have a confession...

Yes, I bought dresses. Whoops! I have to say, though, that I do think they were entirely justifiable purchases!

As the temperatures soared to gorgeous summery heights over the last week or so, I realised something. About 95% of my dresses are far, far too short to wear without my favourite thick black tights. About 90% of my dresses are far, far too short to wear without at least a hint of a tan on my legs. Sadly, my legs are milk bottle white, and it's too hot for tights, so something drastic had to be done. And that's how I ended up with four new dresses. Yes, four - I'm a firm believer in 'if you like something, buy two', so I have the top dress in both black and cream, and the bottom dress in black and that lovely turquoise.

The good news is that I can now safely go outside without offending the general public!
