When you secretly know it's a bad idea....

.. but are drawn to them like a moth to a flame.

White dresses.  

I have a complete hankering for one.  It's the most ludicrous idea for simply so many reasons.  Where to begin?  The fact I usually end up wearing most of my meal, the fact I fake tan excessively (and I have yet to find one that doesn't come off on your clothes, even though they say it doesn't.. it does a little bit.  Not completely but there's always a grimey tan mark left on white, isn't there?), the fact that I always feel ever so slightly like I'm wearing a replica of my First Holy Communion dress. 

However, it doesn't stop me looking.  It doesn't stop me trying "those" Zara, & Other Stories and FCUK embroidered ones which made me look like a second rate shepherdess in National Dress.  All sorts of wrong and I should probably just accept that the style to which I am drawn, really isn't me.  

But what can I say - I am like a dog with a bone.  And whilst it doesn't suit me - I think the reason I obsess over them, is that the look so blooming marvellous on everyone else. 

These are ones that I have come up with.  That hopefully with work for someone else, as I'm going to have to declare myself out. 

This is exactly the sort of one I adore.  My knees let me down but for holiday - oh how I would love to swan around in one of these with some glads.

I know I must step away from this one.  I know I must... I can predict it would look rubbish.. But that of my brain that says - oh just one more...

We've ventured into "could this be a wedding dress" territory - another reason to walk away from the white dress.  Will it stop me?

And then I find the perfect dress and it's SOLD OUT in my size.

And so there we have a few.  I'm sure I can muster up some more in the next couple of weeks, but from your perspective - white.  Is it right?  Are you a white ruiner like me or do you ace them?  What's your secret?!

I do, however, love a white skirt.  I have loads more options like this coming up on a blog on Monday so watch that space.

I have had a ridiculously busy few days so apologies for not being round.  But I will definitely be back tomorrow and will fill you in on what's been going on.  In the meantime, I hope everyone has a fabulous Saturday night and don't forget to say yay or nay to the white dress!
