Dressember: “Falling From Grace”

Well, it happened. Dressember got the better of me. With work and everything festive-time related I just couldn't keep to my Dressember promise. As I said when I first started dressember there was absolutely no chance of me being able to wear a dress for everyday of December, so I decided to aim for at least one or two dress outfits a week. For the first few weeks of December I was really enjoying the challenge, I really love wearing dresses, I just never usually get the chance to, it's just not practical with my work.

So I'm sorry that I couldn't complete the challenge, and honestly I'm a little bit gutted. I would say that I have definitely learned to push myself a bit more when it comes to choosing an outfit. So keep you eye pealed for more dress outfits in the future.

Best of luck to rest of you taking part in Dressember, and Merry Christmas to everyone.

Dressember: all dressed up and nowhere to go.

Long gone are the days when a Lady was expected to wear a formal dress and present themselves in the correct manner. Not that Im complaining of course, I love the freedom of current fashion and style, and Im partial to the odd jeans and hoodie day.

But when you really think about it, how often fo you don a dress, other than that special occasion. Well thats where the idea of Dressember comes from, I heard about Dressember from another fashion bloggers site, ForeverAmber. Amber took on the challenge of wearing a dress everyday in December of last year, and she has some great images to prove how well she did, check them out on her site. Dressember has now grown and grown with many females attempting the challenge, there is even a Facebook Group where, if you decided to get involved you can post your pictures or just show your intrest. You can find Dressember all over the internet with a simple google search, I’d suggest a look at the Flickr group for some dressy inspiration.

So, Dressember, it got me thinking…personally I love buying dresses, maybe even a little more than I love wearing them. So it looks like I’m the perfect candidate. Sadly due to the nature of my job it’s not really practical for me to wear a dress everyday of December. But I’m definitely keen to get involved, so heres my plan. I’ve decided my input for Dressember with be, at least, one dress outfit each week. You will be able to keep up to date with my personal Dressember here on the blog, I’ll post a weekly update for you all.

Let me know if you too are doning a dress for Dressember, enjoy.
