Retro - Have you seen those eyelet makers? I got mine from Dunelm for around a fiver. You can upick the back seam and punch holes along then lace up the back, if that makes sense.

Right, my dress pattern is all cut out so I'll attempt to make a dress when I get back from Pilates. Speak later.

PF - you could write a draft blog aout your love of IC shoes, and the story behind each pair, and then tonight you could take pics and blog it tomorrow?

Ooh Goan that sounds fantastic and would really suit the style of the dress...it has a side zip so that would work...ooh off to look for some...knew you would have the answer

Nothing! I just can't quite work out what to wear with them. All my non-blog days tend to be days when I'm wearing skinny jeans cos I take the pics and feel dull so don't post them

Today's outfit might be another of them:

Indigo skinnies - Primark
Mint green 3/4 sleeve tshirt - DP
Forest green sleeveless cardi - Primark
Eau de nil satin pumps (sadly a bit waterstained) - Accessorize sale

I might throw on a load of accessories when I get home and attempt to photograph it.

Ive stopped blogging the days Im wearing jeans as I feel Im not making enough effort if that makes sense? I only want to show you lot when im looking good haha

Im finding it really difficult to dress up atm if I was at work it would be no problem but I feel a bit of plonker putting on a nice skirt and coloured tights when all Im doing is the school run *sigh

i know what you mean retro, i'm definitely having a fat week or so, so i'm not liking most things..therefore having to make a real effort to take pics etc and put them on the blog!!
i hate phases like this, as i'm not happy in things i usually would have been totally comfortable or confident in :S

oh and now i feel inspired to make a maxi dress!! at least then it owuldn't be too long for me..

retro (hugs) i hate days like that, but think you could definitely extend the bodice - it's a pain of a dress, sized really small compared to other be beau ones i've had..i got another in the sale the other day, rose prints in pink/grey/blue, which has yet to feature on the blog...

and yeah, queenie, i meant where to organise i guess lol..you're all welcome to hold a swap at mine lol..

Thanks hun my mood isnt being helped by my oh so helpfull bank taking all my money in charges and leaving me with no cash for food for a week...grrr...its a gorgeous dress though its just that teeny tiny bit too small...its the boobs fault I blame them entirely lol

Oh I could get my Mum to make me a maxi dress
*must remember to ask later*

Retro- I know what you mean about dressing up "Just" for the school run, but I only ever really go to appointments, or Tesco and still dress up sometimes it just makes me feel better!

Yes totally last week I was all for dressing up and pulling things together but this week I just cant be bothered blah! I dont help myself though as I tend to brood on things too much
