I'm absolutely shattered in this photo. Failure to post any photos has largely been due to manic work schedule combined with a week of illness (no time off though). So I'm trying to make amends, starting with a photo not in my usual 'studio' but shows an easy to wear dress that works for me when tired but still want to look nice. I was going to a filiming of the Justin lee Collins chat show 'Good Times' at the Rivoli Ballroom. It was rubbish and to my embarassment my boyfiend was roped into some warm up stuff and then as aresult I was. Cringe.

It's grey jersey but the panels on the side are black lace. I asked myself - is this slightly risque for work? After all you get a hint of the exposed waist line trough the lace. Told myself it's hardly a crop top so I'm sure it was acceptable. Lace is everywhere these days and it's such a beautiful fabric. I love the romance of it. I have a beautiful 1920's lace table cloth that my boyfriend winces at when I pull out but my heart does a little skip when I walk into the dining room and see it on the table with a vase full of fresh flowers in the centre and the sunlight puring through the garden doors. I'm living in my own Laura Ashley advert for a split second.

Anyway back to the outfit. Sheer tights. These are having a fashion resurrection and I can honestly say I've surprised myself by embracing them. I can actually recall saying to myself I will never ever wear sheer tights as long as I live. Nice how things change.
