Free Friday - GIVEAWAY

Ok so you may remember a while ago that I bought these two gorgeous Amelio dresses. If not, see here. Well they don't fit me :-( They have been sitting in my wardrobe looking pretty for months and  months. I tried to sell them on eBay (for less than a third of what I got them for) and nobody even bid. I could keep them until I lose enough weight for them to fit but for some reason once making the decision to get rid of them, I can't seem to hang them up in their old place again.

So I thought I would offer them to any blog readers who might like them. I give all credit for this idea to Brazilian Babe over at A baby, shoes, bags and a bike who I received a gorgeous vest from in her giveaway (which I am actually wearing today and will post pics of once I charge the battery for my camera). I hope you don't mind  BB :-)

The dresses are marked a L and Ozsale said they were a (12) but I doubt this very much. So I would say they would fit a 10 (very small 12) or even a bigger eight. They are 100% silk and feel very nice to the touch. They are brand new with tags and have only been tried on twice by me (and I am clean and do not smell). Not much else I can say so ask away if you have any questions.

So if you are interested, just comment on this post and let me know which one (or both) you like and I will draw the winners at the end of next week. To be fair I will draw the names out of a hat (if there is any/more than one person interested). Postage is on me :-)

DRESS 1

DRESS 2

I have a lot of other stuff in my closet too which quite frankly I would prefer to go to the loving home of my blog readers then sell to the sharks on eBay so if these don't fit or interest you, stay tuned because I have a LOT of clothes in a LOT of different sizes.

Good luck.

What am I wearing today? This little Charlie Brown number is what I got on. T'was an Ebay buy. As were the RMK heels. I converted the black version of these babies for a long time but couldn’t bring myself to pay the $180 price tag. Then one day, I stumbled across these olive ones for $10. BARGAIN. They are actually very comfortable now I have lost some weight so they have had a few outings in the last few weeks.

These thick tights are a little shiny.

I also had a little surprise waiting for me when I got home last night. This High Society Dress by Ladakh from Freez. I only ordered it on Monday so YAY for fast shipping and great service. It’s a little transparent but nothing a good girdle and nude bra wouldn’t solve. Not sure how black tights will go under it (which is how I plan to style it mainly) but I should be able to counteract with a black slip.

I was not going to buy it. I loved it but I was going to wait and see If I was still thinking about it in a few days time (like every girl should). Then I befriended Freez on facebook (I thought there would be discount codes but alas). Then a girl I don’t know posted on Freez’s wall how she had bought the dress. Then I looked at it again and noticed they only had 3 left in stock. Then I knew, I HAD to have it. Now I see there are at least 9 in stock (go me).

It’s an okay dress I guess.

This is how I am going to style it. This all depends on me actually have a social life and having somewhere to go to wear it like this. I have a SATC fundraiser next weekend so maybe then. It will probably just sit in my closet looking pretty like most of my casual dresses that I can’t wear to work and that get pushed aside in my early morning weekend (I am talking like 10am here!) stumble out of bed grab some jeans and that tee that I don’t think is too smelly to wear out yet dressing rituals.

Ok, I cunningly manipulated my parents into giving me their old one
