Everyone needs a hobby

..and one of mine is buying clothes.

Last Sunday I popped into a local shop to try on a beautiful bright green maxi dress I had seen a few weeks ago.  It had been on my mind for some time, but i’d hesitated to try it on due to what I regarded as an extreme cost.  So I tried it on, and it was very pretty, particularly with the wee tan I have (peeling as we speak).  The shop assistants were terribly keen to sell it to me, telling me it was beautiful on me etc etc.  They tried such a hard sell that I was forced to tell them that I thought it was too expensive for what it was.  However I then spent an overly long time on Sunday evening googling the dress without actually finding one in the same amazing colour or indeed any at a cheaper price.  Long story short I ended up cycling home from work really fast on Monday evening and popping back into the shop to buy it…  and yes, they did remember me, goddamnit!

Same dress here but in a pattern instead of the lovely green.  In order to justify my purchase i’m ebaying another maxi dress I’ve never worn which cost about the same, you can see it here.

Now all I need is some decent weather so I can wear the damn thing.

  1. I’d love a maxi dress…sadly, being short and curvy, the kind of aren’t for me :(

    • empire line is perfect for me as I dont have a slim waist – its all very straight up and down. I have an atheletic figure, which is why its doubly annoying that I’m not at all sporty!
