Im loving your maxi dress with the denim jacket a gorgeous look. I think your first outfit is lovely but maybe if you shortened the skirt a little so it was just past your knee you might feel less frumpy.

I've never seen one like it before and I love my Mary's/religionalia. So cool that the decision was made to hang her in such an old church.<br /><br />Secondly, there is nothing about that gorgeous, cheery outfit that makes you look dumpy, frumpy or lumpy. At all.

Come 6pm on Saturday, you try it on, only to find you look as though you've escaped from residential care. <br />I simply LOVE the dress, best pattern I've seen in a very long time - stunning.<br />Nautical works a treat, but do you know what's missing? Only a jacket I have in my cupboard I've never worn (a £2.99 brick red Windsmoor number)!<br /> <br />I'll email you a picture later...<br /><br />Lucy xlucy joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04863146546863419637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489237810886177584.post-26132600765564040962011-11-14T07:27:13.034-08:002011-11-14T07:27:13.034-08:00Flicking you a V lol!
