All the pink, all the candy and all the candy floss! I bought this dress a while back and never really had the guts to wear it as it's so dramatically over-sized, which is pretty obvious in today's photo. It also comes with a matching belt, but until I punch some new holes in it, I can't fasten it tight enough. The photo doesn't do the colour justice, it's more of a candy pink than a salmon peach, perfectly girly but not too barbie bright. It's 50s-esque and it has big pockets, which can only improve it! The wonderful thing about this dress is that with a good waist-cinching belt, your waist will only look smaller amid candyfloss clouds of fabric billowing either end. Optical illusion and all that. Also, you can't see it here but the skirt at the back drapes wonderfully.

I'm keeping it nicely causal with my high-tops and frilly socks, and if the sun comes out of hiding for long enough, I will pair it with my cat-eyed sunnies for full effect.

There is something powerful about dressing femininely, obviously there's power to dressing in all the ways, but each power is different (bit like Pokemon). I could be super-anything (you can add your own adjective here) under this dress and a lot of people would just see lots of pink. Power of the unexpected I choose you, because liking pink lipstick, frilly ankles and pearly buttoned pink dresses doesn't mean you won't put up a fight for the last computer in the library or take any sly comments lying down.
Not that revision allows time for any lying down...
