polyester dream

Waiting for the Pride parade to begin yesterday, I popped into Humana again, since I happened to walk by and saw they had a sale. Tried on a couple of dresses, and fell in love with a red polyester 60's dream that fit me like a glove. Half price: 85 kronor! Not bad at all. Thought about wearing it to the party next weekend, but I think it'll be too hot. I love the sleeves so much, they're just perfect.



And the neckline is just as wonderful. All these details sort of adds to a regal look, even though these days I doubt a polyester dress would be suitable for a royal wedding. Lucky I'm not royal then, and can wear what I want!



I haven't decided if I should shorten it or not, I'm leaning towards keeping it as it is actually, cos I don't have that many full length dresses, and you never know when you might need one. I do have a very specific party in mind for it, but we'll see about that.



Last week I rediscovered this little belt, when I was looking for one to go with the new Beyond Retro dress. They looked very nice together indeed. But the cute 60's belt also has a dress of it's own, a project I never got around to yet cos it needs a little bit more than usual. I might show you later. It's definitely a project I need a sewing machine for anyway, and it could turn out very nicely so I guess I shouldn't postpone it forever.



The other night I looked outside and noticed that the sky had the exact same pink colour as the house opposite mine. Had to snap a picture of it, cos it looked so pretty. I'll sure miss the bright summer nights once they're over for this year. But by then hopefully other things that I miss like crazy will be much closer to me, and nights getting darker won't seem so bad after all.
