{As you’ll see, this post is largely derived from the past week of different status updates on Twitter. Which is ironic really, as this blog was supposed to be my diary of sorts; the written chronicle of the ins-and-outs of my life. However that mantle is gradually being taken by Twitter. Is this bad? Lazy? Or neither? That’s probably a conversation for another day.}
Let’s talk about my most recent attempt to be fashionable.
The other week, I said this: “Zara Basic black bubble-skirted cocktail dress @ Savers for $20? BARGAIN. Dodgy zip? Infuriating!!! (But fixable!)”
Fixable – yes. For $50. So this ‘bargain’ was quickly becoming something a little more ‘average’. Now I am determined to get wear out of it, thanks to my highly-developed sense of spite, even if it is directed at an inanimate object.
By now I bet you’re dying to see the dress in question, aren’t you?
Well here it is:
(I already owned the belt)
As it happens, I do have an opportunity to wear this dress, sooner than I might have thought. Yesterday I tweeted this: “Am wondering if it’s appropriate to wear a strapless dress to my daughter’s preschool formal…”
This formal is tonight.
What do you think? Is this fine? I think I’ll wear it anyway (remember the spite!) but I’m interested to hear your comments.

If you look and feel fabulous in it then why not?
Cute! I definitely approve.
Go for it
Other less elegant mothers (like me) will die with envy, for all the right reasons
My idea of formal is my good jeans without the holes in it. One day I may move past this lol.
That is a beautiful dress on you. I think I would wear it, if I looked like that!
You look lovely! Wear it.
And uh, what happened with the iPhone comp?
Yep – if you feel fabulous – anything is suitable!
Thank you everyone – I did wear it, and hopefully pictures of the night are to follow!
