Outfit

Finally I've had the chance to blog the outfit I wore for my birthday which was about a month ago now (although minus a couple of hours in the  afternoon when I played a game of tennis). This was originally my sister in law's dress and, knowing it was always my absolute favourite dress of hers, she allowed me to have it. I couldn't believe it, it made me so happy and it was so incredibly generous of her. I've worn it so many times since. It is my new favourite dress (I'm even more excited by the fact that it's Alannah Hill). I love the classy black and white and the pretty crochet detailing. This is the perfect dress in my opinion. There are so many shoes I can wear with it but I realised that my Queen shoes are probably the best match. Of course I had to factor in my new bag which I adore and goes with everything. Pearls also seemed to be rather fitting.

I've got my university graduation next week. I'm very excited because it will be nice to finally have something to show for all those years of study. Although it feels strange having a double degree from university and still being unemployed. I'm hoping that will change soon. I'm very thankful to have you all as my friends. I get very lonely while everyone else is at work; I spend the majority of that time on my blog. Also, fashion has really helped me too. These days dressing up is usually the only point to my day and the only thing I look forward to. I always used to think that endless free time would be incredibly fun. But since being unemployed I've realised that the opposite is the case; I no longer value what I have too much of, I question the point of my life every day and it's attacked my self worth like nothing else. I guess what I'm saying is I don't know what I'd do without fashion and blogging right now. Thank you for your part in that.

That black Alannah Hill dress is beautiful! That was very sweet of your sister in law to give it to you. I love the the delicate lace inset/crocheted detail of the lovely flutter sleeves and the neckline in the back and the white crocheted trim at the neckline and above the waist in the front. The dress also has a lovely shape. You wear it beautifully. I love the settings where your outfit photos are taken.

I do hope that the Australian economy improves and that the employment situation improves for the legal professions there. I know you will do brilliantly and that your legal work will be earn much more for whomever employs you than whatever the cost of your compensation will be.

In the mean time, thank you for sharing what you do of your life with us. I love reading what you write and seeing your photographs. I myself only do about one post a month (I just did a new one a day and a half ago) so I've been impressed with how many you have managed. All the best.

This is such a gorgeous dress and the bag goes so well with it. I love that furry plant too, it's so fluffy! I know the feeling about having too much time on your hands, it can get you as down as not having enough time for yourself. I hope you start to feel happier soon and I will send another letter out as I fear my last one has gotten lost in the post again...sorry Imogen! - Tasha x

Oh wow, how lovely that your sister in law let you have that dress! And appropriately so, because it looks simply stunning on you. I love the little white lace details, and the sleeves are a nice touch, too. Dressing it up with pearls was an excellent way to go! :)

Such a perfect birthday outfit! I just love this dress so much! The pearls and two-toned shoes are fantastic accessories too.
And hooray for graduating! It definitely feels good to get that degree after all the hard work.

It's very hard to be unemployed. You feel like the world is passing you by. But then you'll get a job and miss the free time. So try to enjoy what you have available to you now before it ends. I envy your ability to blog so much. My job interferes with that.
