SPRING OOTD

Going a bit glam on a beautiful Spring day, for no reason at all, except that I like to dress up

and dressing up is fun! :)

My sparkly silver sequin 'top' is actually a dress which was purchased years and years ago

and has barely been worn. Over the past year or so I've found myself pulling it out of my

wardrobe more and more and love it more now than I ever did when I bought it.

I think it looks so much nicer as a top!

As I have been going through and clearing out my closet lately I have been looking at each

item and if I see a stain or something not worth repairing then it goes straight to the bin.

Then I have also been looking at such items like a dress that could become a top or a dress

that might make a great skirt! With the weather warming up I've even made three pairs of

'not cool anymore' jeans into some cute looking jean shorts! 

Top/Dress from Jeans West (No longer available think it was around $30)
White Eyelet Skirt from Coles Mix Apparel $29.00 (Current Season Stock)
Pisces in Silver Novo Shoes $79.95 (Currently only available in Black)

All of us some time or another in our lives no matter how much we love or despise it,

have to track down and try on about a million dresses and then fork out 

a ridiculous amount of money for something we are likely to only ever wear just once,

even only for a few hours! Personally I LOVE any opportunity to get completely dressed

up to the nines. Unfortunately it doesn't happen often enough for me!

I did however fork out $400 for my 'first' wedding dress which I found on sale which I later

changed my mind about and ended up forking out a whooping $2000 for my dream dress

which just happened to be the very first dress I laid my eyes on in a magazine. Oh the drama!

So in explaining all of that, it would have been nice to know that I could've saved myself

thousands of dollars if only I'd known about companies which custom make the dress of dreams

for the fraction of the cost! I could've bought about 10 wedding dresses! Argh!

Take a look at these absolutely STUNNING styles found at Gardenia!

Their styles range from wedding, bridesmaid and flower girl dresses to formal

and special event dresses. You can even choose from a range or different colours

from those shown in the photos below. So if you want a red or a pink wedding dress

instead of the traditional white, no worries, just pick your fav shade available!

They also offer wedding accessories such as veils, tiaras and gloves. 

They create just about any dress you can think of and their size ranges from

petite to plus size, so no need to worry about finding something that is going to fit.

They cater for maternity wear and plus sizes as well which I think is also great!

I know from experience how hard it is to find decent maternity clothing and this site

has a great range of beautiful styles to choose from.

They also have weekly deals and sale items!

They ship just about everywhere worldwide, including Australia and have very affordable

shipping rates using the very well known and trusted DHL service.

You can feel totally safe and secure shopping online with this company as you can use

between paying via PayPal, Mastercard or Visa. 

Have you ever purchased a special occasion dress online without trying it on?

What was your experience like?

Let me know below, I would love to hear about it!

Closet Confidential Tag!

1. What is the oldest item in your wardrobe/closet?

Thats a tough one! I've recently gone through everything in my closet and thrown out a LOT! I still feel like I have too much, even though over the past 5 or do years I have barely bought anything new for myself. Honest! I went through a phase in my early to mid 20s where I had little responsibilities and money to blow, so I blew most of it on clothes and the like, (which I now regret) which has left me with more than I'd like, as odd as that sounds. I have a lot of dresses that are beautiful, but get no wear because I never go out anywhere to wear them. I've sold a bit on eBay which has helped a bit and makes me feel a bit better getting some of the money I blew back, now that I'm in a time in my life where I really need it. Having 2 kids and desperately trying to get ahead so we can buy a house. Anyhow, getting way off track here! The oldest item, I suppose would be this white, sequin dress, that I have reinvented into a maxi skirt which means instead of it sitting in my closet waiting for a special occasion, I can now wear it any day of the week toned down with a button down shirt or singlet top. Loving it at the moment. :) 

2. What is the newest item?

That would be my new love. This Forever New maxi skirt I recently purchased with a voucher I received for my birthday. Forever New sell such beautiful and glamorous clothing and accessories, but I wanted to be smart about what I got and choose something I'd get a lot of wear out of and something I don't already have. A think maxi skirts are a great staple to have in your wardrobe as they're so easy to wear, are flattering, always fit and are pretty much always in fashion.

3. What is the most expensive item?

Aside from my wedding dress, this cardi from Alannah Hill would probably be my most expensive item. In saying that, I did have a $100 voucher that I put towards it, so that makes me feel a little less guilty. I do love this peice though and wear it as much as I can. It is up there are one of my most loved.

4. What is the cheapest most affordable item that you wear or use the most?

I am a total bargain hunter and purchased this dress for $5 at Supre years and years ago! I don't often shop at Supre because the majority of the clothes are not my taste or suited for my age group, but I think I was about 23 when I purchased this and it looks so sexy, yet still classy on. I enjoy wearing this most in winter with black textured stocking and some kind of black top underneath, sometimes with a little sequins popping through for a bit of glamour.

5. What was the biggest bargain?

This would be the best bargain because I actually won it! I have been quite fortunate in my obsession with entering competitions to win quite a few clothing items. I adore this skirt. I am right into maxi skirts at the moment so I wear this one a lot. It is a colour that goes great with black and it flows so beautifully and is feminine and girlie which I love. I wore this for my 30th birthday back in January.

6. What was the biggest waste of money?

I would have to say my wedding dress and the shoes! I loved the dress so much, but I really blew my budget with it and would probably choose something much cheaper and just as beautiful now. It was a dress by Clarissa Grace from the 'In A Secret Garden' collection which fitted well into our wedding theme. The shoes were designer and completely ridiculously priced. I would be just as happy with a $50 pair from Forever New now.  I would also have to add that these Peep Toe heels which were also a waste of money. I did have a voucher that went toward them, but I'm kicking myself for not choosing something more practical as I never wear these. Argh! :/ 

7. Show us your most loved item right now!

There are a lot of items I'm loving at the moment, as I have a completely new outlook on my clothes and how I wear them. Basics are really what I'm loving and getting the most wear out of at the moment. My classic black cardi the most. I love this. It was such a bargain. In fact, I've found a lot of great bargain pieces from this particular brand and I will share with you a little secret. If you range from around a size 6-10 you can find some fantastic clothes from the kids Pink Sugar range from Big W. My local store often has a clearance rack and even full priced you won't pay much more than $20 for something. The sizes are in kids, so I go for the sizes 14-16 which fits me comfortably. You may have to do a bit of rummaging, and depending on your own personal taste, you may not find anything you like, I'm just saying I often do, so maybe you might too. :) 

So this brings me to the end of this tag!
