Frocktober Day Nine

A Muumuu for Yuuyuu

Today I'm wearing a vintage 1970's Mexican Dress and Cons. I'm a bit iffy on this one...I'm not sure if I should sell it to boost the Frocktober coppers or not. My darling daughters tell me I look pregnant when I wear it (I know I don't look pregnant in these pics, but in the flesh, it does make me look like a frumpy bag-lady. I admit that) but it's just so damn comfortable and easy to wear!
Frumpy or comfy? What's a girl to do? I just wish it looked more Miu Miu, than moo moo! At the moment the comfort factor has a stronger grip than the f.f. I'll keep you posted if I decide to sell.
 
Here's a pic of me, ever so casually brushing my hair from my face

and here's one of me jumping for joy because together we have raised $1310.50 to help fund research into ovarian cancer.
 
 
Care to throw a few pesos 'my' way too?
Julianne  and Nelly did. It would be lovely if you could too, just click Here

  1. Pretty and I like the converse too. I don't think it looks frumpy at all. Daughters eh? What do they know? My daughter tells me I look "disgusting" on a daily basis. Such a delightful child. xx

  2. Snap! I have almost the exact same dress! Don't sell it, you look adorable and slim. I know what you mean, the cut and the little pleats don't make one look svelte in the flesh so to speak, but they are comfy and cute to boot. It's a keeper! xx

  3. Keep keep keep! It's a glorious colour, you look slim as a reed in the dress, with no obvious signs of pregnancy, and I love it. So there. You should indeed be jumping for joy, the fundraising total so far is magnificent. xxxx

  5. Absolutely don't sell, I sold a genuine 1970's Mexican blouse a few years ago then regretted it ever since. I think you look fab and I love that you mixed it up with some cons.

  10. The Mexican dress in so cute. They were really popular here in the late 80s, and my friends and I all wore them. You're right about how comfortable they are. I vote keep!
