Blue Ice



Note to self: Don't allow photography "from below" ever again. Pls. disregard the chins.

This dress doesn't photograph as well as it hangs. Trust me, the adorable mini bubble skirt and exaggerated cowl exact mucho attention from elderly, retired European men and their disapproving wives.

I got it last weekend when camp shopping for M at Dufferin Mall. It was $39.00 at H&M. Seriously, with its beautiful drape, sheeny fabric and rich slate blue colour, it looks like it cost a fortune.

Wait till you see the shoes I wore it with...

  3. I don't mean to alarm you, K-line, but it seems you have a gorgeous Greek goddess modeling on your patio. Aphrodite looks lovely in blue.

    Bel: You def. get comment of the day! I love that. Thank you!! My husband told me that comments like that are going to make me totally conceited. Not that you should stop! :-)

    Thanks CC. It's a very flattering colour on most skin types, I think.

    Tessa: I didn't even think of that. Great idea!!

  17. I'm must point out the obvious, the way that dress is creeping up your thigh in pic 3 - isn't PG rated. Altogether, in 3, 2,... 'Ice Ice Baby'
