First things, first, I am aware just how appallingly kept this blog has been for the last few weeks. It's truly shocking. That said, I don't hold out much hope of the standards improving for alittle while longer yet... The temping work I'm on at the moment is great - I'm blogging from work; but my next one (which starts on Thursday and runs for 2-6 weeks); well let's just see how it goes, because I don't want to get mysekf in trouble for blogging instead of working!
Anyway, before I get into a small rant about work and temping, etc, I'll actually write about what this blog is supposed to be about; style, clothes, etc...
During the last couple of weeks I've received my subscription copies of Harper's Bazaar and Vogue (yay!) and have spent my lunch breaks of this assignment reading said magazines. When I got home last night I also flicked to the Style On Monday section of the Daily Telegraph that my parents get. The contrast between a weekly feature and a monthly magazine never ceases to amaze me.
In January's edition of Vogue we have "20 New Year Shopping Resolutions" (page85 for you other Vogue readers) which I have adored reading and flicking through. Number19 on this double page spread fabulously states "Don't Add Yet Another Little Black Dress to Your Burgeoning Collection." There's also a gorgeous dress by Christopher Kane featured just above number19. I think I'm quite possibly in love with it, although it would look ridiculous on me.
In the Daily Telegraph's Style on Monday; however; in great contrast to this item from Vogue; there is a whole article on the fabulousness of the Little Black Dress.
So, it begs the question - which is better - the LBD? Or the Anti-LBD?
Personally? I'm more of an LBD girl. The main reason for this is because I've yet to find a bright coloured dress that doesn't make me look like I'm heading off to a prom. Also, with my lifestyle, it's far easier to just own mainly black clothes as they always look smart and suitable for a work environment.
That said I maybe converted if I could find myself a gorgeous Anti-LBD that I can use everywhere and anywhere.
Anyway, I have to abandon this for returning to work. Eventually I'll get around to adding in some pictures.
