Me and… Dresses!

Ramblings

For as long as I can remember, I have loved wearing pretty dresses and high heels. I think it all started when I was just one. Being a flower girl does that to you, doesn’t it? When I was seven or eight, I would dream of big dresses and huge ballrooms in Vienna, then as a teenager, I kept dreaming I could attend the Bal des débutantes in Paris. Just for the dress.

Me and Dresses... Flower Girl

A few years later and the big dress came on my wedding day, although half of it was missing when it was time to put it on, but that is a story for another day. There was not compromising, I would get my big princess dress! I thought I would spend months and months looking for a dress and I had a picture in my mind of what I wanted. Little did I know that I would buy the first dress I tried, in a small boutique in Paris. I did not even want to try that dress, but the owner of the shop insisted as she thought it would suit me. I could not take my eyes off the dress after that!

My love of dresses never faltered. These days, the dresses are not as big as the outfits of my teenage dreams, but they are more colourful and rather smart. Any excuse to dress up and you can count me in!

Me and Dresses... pink dress & Black Fascinator

I think I would hesitate between the hot print dress with fascinator, clutch and open-toe heels I wore at my friend Cé’s wedding,

and my new polka dot dress with pops of green and yellow.

Me and Dresses... Polka Dots, Yellow & Green

Which of these outfits would you choose for a fancy day out?

    Tu est très belle Mel ! Tu as bien raison de aimée les robes, elles te vont à merveille. Ton grandpa a beaucoup de charme et t’étais ravissante le jour de ton mariage.
    Moi, c’est un peu le contraire, quand j’étais petite j’étais une vraie garçon manqué! Maintenant je met des robes mais j’adore les pantalons.

      J’aime aussi les pantaloons, mais quand je vais au travail, rien de tel qu’une robe et de jolies chaussures!

    Your wedding dress is stunning. I love the two dresses that you would consider for Ladies Day but the polka dot one is my favourite – love the pops of green in it 🙂

      Thanks Louise! I have to say the pink one is gorgeous but it looks like it needs ironing after being worn for a couple of minutes. The Precis material stays flawless no matter how many times you sit down. Wriggly smeared food all over me after my meeting last week, and a quick wipe sorted it out!

      Well the dress itself was there, but everything else was in Paris, 100 miles away (veil, big frilly things that go under the dress). x

    Stunning lady, I love your wedding dress, it’s not dissimilar to my second wedding dress (same man but I had 2 weddings-one English in SA and the other Greek here) but my dress was from Paris by designers Cymbaline-I loved it. Thanks for linking up to #fashionfriday

    Gosh, a seriously tough choice Mel – you look fabulous in both! Your wedding dress was amazing. Seriously beautiful. I think I would probably opt for the hot pink one if I had to choose though.
