I haven’t worn an all black outfit in absolutely ages. In fact I have consciously been shying away
from wearing black, after wearing it constantly for so long. I fell out of love with it.
Today though I was riffling through my wardrobe looking for
something cool to wear to the office when I came across a black dress that had
escaped the great purge of January 2013.
Rather than throw it into the donations bag that I am currently
collating, I decided to try it on.
My love of black was reignited.
It made me remember that black
can look great. It doesn’t have to be
depressing and used as a way to cover up and hide yourself. This dress certainly doesn’t cover up much of
anything on me being sleeveless and with the low neckline!
I had forgotten the power of a
little black dress.
It is probably a little too
revealing in the chest area for the office and indeed when I tried it on my
first thought was “Vicky, your breasts look too big in this dress”. Then I remembered that my breasts are not
going to shrink, they are what they are.
It’s a boiling hot day and I want something cool to wear so I’m wearing
it. Screw it.
So
here are a few photographs of me in the dress and I feel great in it, fat arms
out and all.
The dress is an old collection from So Fabulous at +Very.co.uk
Hope you are enjoying the sunshine!
You look amazing in that dress! I actually wore an all black outfit yesterday, trying to find something I could bare wearing in this heat, and I haven't done that in a long time. I've come to the conclusion that I don't really own anything light enough to wear during heat waves xx
