Saturday

The evening whispered promises of a good night on the town in my ear. She was right, t'was a good night indeed. We ended up in a bar/club in Chelsea, somewhere downstairs. It's ridiculous for me not to recall the name but for once I hadn't organised this excursion. Can you believe for once I only drank two glasses of champagne? I'm no AA candidate but I can knock them back. Could the winds be carrying a change? Me thinks so, tres bien.

So, this time I used the red pure cotton and purple polyester (like satin but softer)...contrast colour contrast fabrics. The top was tres fitted with exaggerated cap sleeves (considering this is a prominent season feature *see Balmain), a slash open front and a back slit. Only a mini would complement this top. So a mini I made with red stitching, just to make it coherent while still contrasting. Paired with a studded black belt and purple satin peep toe platforms, it was pop, rock and domineering. I felt I could part the crowds with my shoulders. Ha, did I just make a biblical reference with shoulder pads? Only me! But this get up really gave me a dominatrix confidence and I felt statuesque. Can't quite explain it but I see now why Rihanna's addicted to it.
*see Project Runway for reference.

Friday

This days activities included a birthday dinner at the Absolute Lounge/Restaurant and another Birthday Black/White party in West London. I had no other choice but to use the cream silk. I dare not wear stark white, too harsh for my skin. So cream was my compromise. The fabric is gorgeous, drapes well and the stripe detailing adds to its beauty. I only had 1.5 metres so a backless mini it was. I added the white criss cross straps at the back attaching it to the front bodice to sprinkle abit of swimsuit chic. Also, my big white ring, white sandals and a very pale blue blazer and I was done and out.

Project Runway

There's no other way to describe my situ but to make a direct comparison with a competition to make clothes in a short period of time. Four events (birthday dinner tonight and a maybe black and white party, Sat night on the town, Sun wedding and Mon bank hol whatever goes really) needs four outfits...if there was anything worth buying I would. However I do have fabrics, no surprise I always have fabrics (left to right) grey cotton (stretch) jersey, navy blue polyester, aqua polyester, red pure cotton, pink cotton, peppermint twill, purple polyester, hot pink silk satin, floral cotton, and cream silk. I love days like these...what will my hands wield? No one is more excited to know. I'll post each days outfit for you.
