What I Actually Wore #0053

Serial #: 0053
Date: 26/11/2010
Weather: 25°, rainy
Time Allowed: 20mins to get ready, trying on numerous outfits!

It’s a slightly humid evening, rainy. I have the Illustrators Australia combined AGM and Christmas party to attend tonight. I haven’t really thought about what I would wear, and consequently take longer than usual to get ready.

I finally decide on a vintage blue dress trimmed with guipure lace, and because of the odd weather need to select a coat to wear with it. Ordinarily I wouldn’t wear the matching coat because the combination marks it too distinctly as vintage 1950s. To offset this look, I choose a pair of tan suede summer boots, and a leather obi belt – unusual accessories for a Fifties dress!

And because it’s a party, I bring out the blue tiara that flashes with diamantes. It’s Christmas after all – one should have some lights on.
