I went to a llama park today. Yeah. A llama park. Anyone got any llama questions I'm your girl. It was actually quite nice walking around in the lovely sunshine looking at cute furry things. There was a reindeer that was born yesterday.
This dress was only a fiver and it's actually proven to be a pretty good buy. As I'm 5"9 I find it so hard to find Summer dresses that are long enough to wear without tights or leggings and even though it doesn't quite look like it in the photos, this dress is just long enough. This problem seems to be getting worse every year and I really don't know why. I never thought of 5"9 as being ridiculously tall but it seems that if I want to find a Summer dress that covers my backside then I have to look in the tall ranges in shops which carry none of the key pieces and tend to look pretty frumpy.
Another moan I feel like getting off my chest is the total lack of good quality workwear on the high street (yeah I finally got a job that I have to wear posh clothes for). I've searched high and low and all I've found is a couple of dresses in H&M and one perfect jacket from Topshop that took me five purchases and returns to find. All the usual places such as Next (for workwear, I don't go in there otherwise) have nothing but cheap- looking shift dresses with nasty grey tartan patterns on them which I can't bear. I know this makes me sound like a huge snob but I just want to see some good quality, well- cut workwear which I don't think is too much to ask for.
Anyway back to some more positive things, I love my new sandals. I like the price even better.
