A New Dress and Other News




































Happy Saint Patrick's Day! I'm now right into my studies at the moment and having been trying to better organize my time to complete assignments by their due dates. So far, so good but things are getting busier. I hope that I can keep my posting up. I'm also hoping to get back into my piano. 

Anyhoo, I've recently acquired a nice little stack of vintage dresses and accessories and I will hopefully be posting some pictures of them soon. This is a dress I bought amongst them. Not vintage, but I thought it was just too sixties looking to pass up. I'm very glad I bought it. Whilst having lunch with the boy wearing this I tell you, I received many a weird look from a fleeting stranger. More than usual. Not entirely sure why though. Perhaps it is because the dress is so shiny!

In other news, these are also the last pictures you will be seeing of me with long hair for a long while. On Friday I just got the chop! It was a bit of an impulse decision but I'm glad I did it. I shall be explaining more on that soon tool! Hope you have all been keeping well!

  1. Such a pretty dress, I can't imagine why you were getting weird looks, I would have thought they would be admiring glances :) Can't wait to see your new hairdo.

  2. You look very cute (and shiny :-) I guess that's why people stared. I always see this as a compliment, no matter what people really think... it makes me feel much better then worrying about. I learned this as a teenager when I was living in the middle of nowhere and received a lot of rather rude stares from strangers :-) Looking forward to seeing your new hairstyle!

  3. That dress is gorgeous! I love a bit of a shimmer in the day time, it guarantees to turn heads which is a great thing. Dying to see the new hair! xxx

  4. Happy St. Patrick's day to you, too!
    I have been immersing myself in my schoolwork and music as well, i didn't know you played piano, though. I'd love to hear you play sometime!
    That's a darling dress (i love the print) and i can't wait to see and hear more about your new dresses and accessorizes.
    I always thought your hair looks great so i can't wait to see what you've done with it now.

    1. I wouldn't say I play piano, exactly. I teach my self completely by ear and converting guitar chords into piano chords. I got quite good at one point, and could convince people that I'd been playing with lessons for a few years but I didn't keep it up. I'm hoping that I can this year. I hope that your schoolwork is going well.
      And thank you very much, Abigail!

  6. This dress is insanely gorgeous. The pattern and the texture (from what I can tell through the photograph) looks amazing. I'm in love, I only wish I had something even close to this fabulous in my closet.

    I cant wait to see you new hair cut! Let me guess a bob cut? perhaps with a fringe!

    good luck with uni, work has been keeping me quite busy lately, hence not much sewing or even blogging =(

    1. Thanks, Catherine! Not quite, I'm not brave enough for something as short as a bob yet!
      I hope that you get some time in to do some more sewing and blogging!
