Love the look...but the look don’t love me!

I cannot tell you how happy it makes me that A/W fashion has arrived. For me, the colder months are about divine layering, rediscovering beautiful coats and indulging in dessert just that little bit more, secure in the knowledge that cooler climate pieces are oh so forgiving. But it’s not only these things that make me jump for joy at the sight of the new shop fronts...it’s the fact that last season’s fashion is safely behind us!!

Yes sir, I loved the tulip dress, the flirty floral mini, the strong structured shoulders...but, alas, they did not love me. You know what I’m talking about, right? So many beautiful clothes, but no matter how many times you try on a different version of the ‘must have’ seasonal piece, it just does nothing for you. For me the S/S collection was so alluring being an abstract and floral print junkie, but it really did seem that designers were passing on the cost of the ‘economic crisis’ by cutting down on fabric...a lot of fabric! “Where the hell is the rest of this skirt”I believe I muttered to myself...it may have even been a little more explicit than that. And you know, in an act of despair (or defiance) I actually did buy one or two of those minis...you know, the ‘this will fit me and look fab after I have lost 3kg’ item. I call it the ‘motivational purchase’. Pfft...

Anyhoo, the sun’s warmth has all but disappeared...and so have those pretty little things that caused me so much anxiety. Thank goodness!! And you know what...I haven’t lost 3kg yet...but I’m working that goddam floral mini....with my tights!!!
