Camilla, the second dress is from Topshop, but from a few months ago – they don’t have it on the website any more, but they may have it in store….

Sheila – thank you! I would love one in every colour!

That first dress…I am so jealous of it! I would do just about anything to get my hands on that dress (in red though, I never wear black)! And the shoes are top notch, really gorgeous!

I love the second dress! I don’t need one but where’s it from anyway.

Also, what is an iron?

Thank you for all the lovely comments, everyone!

On the ironing issue, I should probably say that I actually HATE ironing with a vengeance. I mean, I don’t do it because I enjoy it, just because everything I own seems to crease really easily, even more so because we have so little storage that all my clothes are crammed in on top of each other.

@ Lauren – I actually had no idea where I was at any given time while we were in the Midlands, so I have no idea about the restuarant, but I will ask my brother-in-law and let you know!

You have such beautiful dresses! And you look so good in them! I am experiencing massive fashion envy at the moment

I think both dresses are lovely. I’m not certain arriving at a christening in black was worse than, say, wearing hot pink would have been. Perhaps you should hunt for a lovely pastel before the next christening? Yellow is fabulous on my ginger daughter and sons…

I do own an iron and use it fairly regularly. And by fairly regularly, I mean once a week, since I try to wear clothes that never need ironed. Unfortunately when I shop, those are never the clothes I really want. But I don't really mind ironing…

Also, I have always wanted an owl, since at least a decade before the whole Harry Potter craze. I saw a picture in a book of a houseful of different pets, living together in harmony, and of course one was a very tiny owl. Apparantly you can't get small ones like that now except for on the black market, or unless you steal them out of the nests…hmmm…

Both your dresses are gorgeous!
Btw, I think you must have jinxed me in some strange way! I was one of the people who (in the F.Police poll) answered they never iron, and every single thing I’ve bought since that damn poll seems to require ironing, so now I iron all the time!

You must let me know what the little country restaurant is – I’ve just moved down Birmingham area, and could use any tips I can get!

Iron? What’s an iron?

I actually go out of my way to buy things that will NEVER require ironing. This will explain why I mainly wear trackie daks, mind you! ))

Love that second dress – totally glad you eventually bought it! Well worth it ) (And the first one is also lovely)
