Sitting pretty

I have a terrible weakness for floaty, dreamy fabrics and romantic, drapey cuts. And dresses that make me think of indulgent afternoon tea parties.

This was a dress I didn't fall in love with at first sight, but it certainly was like at first sight. After having tried it on, and worn it out to work, I think it may soon be one of my firm favourites to wear.

A big bonus (I know this sounds silly, but believe me, it's perfectly legit!) is that the chest area doesn't gawp open when I bend down to fill up media attendance sheets during events--if you only knew how many of my other dresses are borderline scandalous that way!

And as you know, I am quite a terrible sucker for branded goods that are marked down for whatever reason--this lovely Ann Taylor dress was only RM50.

Dress - RM50, Ann Taylor Loft at FOS
Shoes - RM20, VKI, Sungei Wang

P/s: The pose was inspired by the lovely Chloe Sevigny in a spread in Vanity Fair, I believe! Of course, she was about a million times more lovely, and in her beautiful garden--hence, the images of garden tea parties!

Thank you, lovely girls :) It happened to be a good photo of me--I don't usually have such good days, heh.

Plue, when I tried it on Kahani made a comment that the cut is very forgiving--and it is! I think it'd look lovely on you too, so go out and hunt down one for yourself :)

i <3 chiffony material! the pretty floral design makes it that much sweeter.

my one peeve with many girly shops here is that the material is so...hoochie. Stretch, cling, sweat. Chiffon is nice coz it flows with you and cooling =D
