Day 650 - I Like Nikki, Her Yansh Is Bigger

Shoes: Mint gingerbread 'Ablaze' ASOS

I disappeared on ya, sorry!  Have been feeling rather ill, so didn't want to bore you with that and couldn't sit in front of the computer anyway.  This outfit is from...Wednesday and like the day before, I felt the shoes didn't quite work.  I love them and I love the dress, but the proportions together didn't seem right.  I was feeling so queasy though, I couldn't have cared less.  The dress is new and I bought it purely to try and fully expected to return it, but when I tried it on, it fitted perfectly and felt so flattering.  Not sure I'm doing it justice in these pics, where I seem to be standing rather awkwardly (!), but it's a feel-good dress for me.  This was the first day of me trying out my new camera, although I still reverted back to my mobile for some shots.  It's very difficult to take self-portraits, so I only got one shot with the camera although the colour of my hair is much softer and more vivid in that image and actually more true-to-life, than the dirty lilac of the mobile-phone pics. It was a bit hit or miss with the foot shots too but I'm sure I'll get used to it.

Wearing:  Black bird print tea-dress Dorothy Perkins, black leggings, cardigan and sunglasses Primark.
Fit: True to size, 5 3/4" heel and 1 1/4" platform, lace-up front.
Comfort: Very comfortable and a nice steady base to walk on, although the tops did rub the skin at my ankle.
