Mugshot Monday-Hat Humbug

Graduation hats? Hmmm, I don't think I'll be trying this trend on a day to day basis. Fun when receiving a piece of paper, but trust me, I whipped it off straight after the ceremony! Yes, I am a hat humbug, especially when it comes to this variety. I could wear the robe all day long, though. Major voluminous sleeves are my thing! What do you think about graduation robes?

Yes, this is Mugshot Monday, coming to you from My Republic of Fashion. So, tell me- what did you all get up to this weekend? Hope it was a fashionable one!

Standing In The Spotlight

In all my shopping years on this planet, I don't think I have ever bought anything decent in the post Christmas sales. Do I really want a ratty last season bikini, just because it's €10 cheaper? Eh, no. No, I do not! However, when I spotted this teal and gemstone collar encrusted dress in Warehouse, I just couldn't resist. This was my first purchase of the year, perhaps the dress is a symbol of how shiny, bright and sparkly 2011 will be? I hope so!

This dress makes the rest of my clothes look dull and lifeless. I love how demure, but bold it is.  So, a belated New Years resolution- buy more colour! After all, colour me beautiful is the motto this Spring/ Summer. This dress will play a special role for me on Thursday. It will be my graduation dress. Graduating in teal and sparkle, yes, I cannot wait.

So, what was your first purchase this new year? Do you like my dress, or is it a bit too bright for your taste? As always, I love to know what you think!
