Serious Colour

Yesterday was a fail - sorry. There was no golf cos I still have a bad shoulder from apparently packing my bag ready for work on Monday!??? Long story. Anyway instead we organised my husbands comic collection and cleaned out the spare room and I really don't think that warranted more than my usual jeans and a t-shirt.

Instead I wore the brightest thing I own shopping in Cardiff today. I wore a dress I bought not so long ago that I always intended to wear as a day dress that could be dressed up for an evening out. However the only times I have worn it is in the evening and then it was pretty dressed down. I teamed this with what I think is the perfect accessory for this dress; a feather bando. Even as I was buying it I never thought I'd actually wear it.



I love this dress and I felt great (although part of me felt a bit of a twat cos of the bando). I even had a complement on it from a lovely lady in Lush.

I just want to talk about one thing I bought whilst in Cardiff; Wonderbra's Ultimate Strapless bra. One of the problems I have with clothes is I like a lot of strappy things but I hate strapless bras. They are either too tight, have a weird shape or just have no support what so ever. The one I use at the moment has air pads in (which are frankly unnecessary) and my boobs just sort of sit in it. There is far too much space in there. So although the wonderbra is expensive I thought it would be worth ago. It has this support system in it that is kind of like hands holding you in. Anyway I wasn't convinced by the test videos on the website so I tried it out for myself. This resulted in me jumping around in Debenhams changing rooms like a loon! I can report though that there was no hitching up need and I did not burst out of the top. Also although the bra itself looks pretty ugly it gives great shape and looks great under clothes. I recomend checking out the videos on Wonderbra's site. They are pretty representative (plus you get to see an idiot jumping up and down in a bra).
