For the first time in my life I have a plain black dress - the other black dress I have is a lurex knit so it isn't really
black. This dress was bought for the funeral last week. At the funeral I wore it with a black and white patterned tank underneath, and of course black shoes. Today I chose to wear it with pink, and I don't think it looks too grave.
While I was taking the photos my dog tried to tell me that he wasn't feeling so well. I didn't listen properly so later he was sick on the carpet - poor thing!
The bracelets and the watch - and of course the red ring:
Most people in this country wears black, and it's difficult to stand out wearing the same as everyone else. But adding the pink did the trick! As on every Monday I'm linking up with
Not Dead Yet Style where
Patti is hosting
Visible Monday for all to get inspired to dress to get noticed.
Have a lovely Monday everyone!
Are those the new shoes you got last week? They're great! They look comfortable and stylish. Your poor pup is having empathy illness. ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you Joni! The shoes are from the January sale this year - last week I bought sandals. Not that the weather permits sandals as we still have night below freezing, but they were selling out fast. Anyway, you're right about the shoes on the photo: They're very comfortable!
DeleteYou made this black dress very lively and pretty today! Gorgeous shoes too. Sorry, doggie : < hope he is all better.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Patti! I'm afraid Congo (doggie) is seeing the vet tomorrow as he is still sick.
DeleteYou've put some joy in this dress with your bright pairings. I'm admiring the shoes. The fact that you bought the dress for a funeral caused me to reflect--the last funeral I went to was in late summer and I was shocked by all the bright colors people wore to attend.
ReplyDeleteThank you Terri! I do love my shoes, and I wish I had bought them in other colours as well. Almost everyone at the funeral last week were in black, and certainly none in bright colours. Last year I went to a very different funeral that was more like a party, with entertainment by all three ex husbands, and the current! Then bright dressing was very appropriate - but that is the only time I can think of. Besides this time I lost someone very close to me so planning what to wear wasn't my top priority.
