Hmmm

Okay, so I'm not going to lie. I really didn't want to post a photo today. After my hubby took the photo, I went and got changed into my super dooper cuddly jarmies and then I uploaded the pic and went 'Blurgh!'.
It's a horrid photo - I was moving so it's all blurry and I hadn't pulled the dress straight after my drive home so it's tucked up in some weird way under my boobs, plus giant husband doesn't take photos from the most flattering angle... I should have gotten dressed again and taken another photo but I was already in my pajamas...

However, I am a semi-amateur blogger and dammit, I made a promise to upload a photo every day, so upload I will! Hopefully the link I give to the dress will do it more justice than my horrible photo!

This is the Greeting of the Minds dress from ModCloth. I fell in love with it the moment I saw it, and honestly thought I was alone in my love. The retro style, the frill, the rust colour - who could possibly agree with me? Apparently quite a few people!

I must admit that the photo would probably be more flattering if the dress was slightly bigger. As I said in my last post, I'm kind of in between sizes right now and am trying to find my way a bit. The first items I ordered from ModCloth were all 1XLs. When I went to order this dress, I was like, yep I'm an XL because that's the same as 1XL (In my head, it's the same because there's only one X. XXL would be 2XL, XXXL would be 3XL etc). Well apparently it's not. America has some crazy sizing guide or something. Anyway, the point being, I ordered a size smaller than I probably should have. Although it fits, it's tight across the bust, so doesn't fall properly, plus one Hulk flex and I'd have busted out of the seams.

I seem to be making quite a few excuses here, aren't I? Maybe I just look shite in it lol

Anyway, to make up for the mediocre photo, here is one that I took of my jarmies. Christian was by this point mid-game in League so I had to take it myself, hence you just get the legs.

Cute, huh?
