What I Actually Wore #0052

Serial #: 0052
Date: 24/11/2010
Weather: 23.5° weather warm, rains late
Time Allowed: 15 minutes – to iron the dress!

I have a date at Ladro, and probably this red silk dress is overdoing things, but well, it’s new, so it must be worn. A dress is always easy too, because all you need to do is find shoes and you’re done. Except of course unless you need to iron said dress and it adds 15mins to your skimpy dressing allowance.

I pick out a a pair of Asian-inspired wedges from Unique – they make me think of black lacquer with red trim. That footwear chain Unique has closed down now. Such a shame, because it really did sell some unique shoes. I very fondly remember some 3/4 red marching band boots with suede tassels at the side. They went to shoe heaven years ago, and I still mourn their passing. 

My other easy accessory was a little white leather vintage 70s clutch. Hair in a high ponytail, red lips and off I go.

The dress must have proved a hit with my date because he wanted to go again, but it was not to be. C’est la vie.
