Project LoveDress Barbie!

About a month ago Andhari, Shirley and myself had a conversation about having too many dresses, needing a dress for a ball I'm going to this Friday (and I have one, yipee!) and finally ... having a date in February where a bunch of bloggers would dress up together. The result became Project Barbie or Project LoveDress. And the colour theme for February? Pink. [I had suggested red, hehe.]

My head hurt trying to think of where I could find a pink dress that wouldn't be ruffly as heck or a bright hot colour until I remembered I already had one in my closet (yes!). Two years ago before my trip to Poland, me and my close friend perused a mall downtown and went into a store about twenty minutes before it closed. And  that's when I found this dress ... I thought it was adorable and loved wearing it in Poland (I wore it on my first 'Harry Potter'-esque train ride, so this piece of fabric holds many memories). So without further ado, I present: Polish Barbie, because this one here seems a little out-dated.

I wanted to do this amazing photoshoot outside (since I had a feeling others would) but the fact that it's: a) ridiculously cold outside; and b) my photographer (The Boy) has been sick for the past few days, I relied on my trusty ten-second timer (and have gotten tea and Halls for my boy who hopefully makes a good recovery!). Which means I took a bunch of random pictures all over my house, ohhh yeah.

 

  

These are my "let's practice posing!" pictures.

And, I ended up taking one full-body shot but I have to warn you, it makes this dress look more like a t-shirt. I blame long legs and the angle, hehe. And I was cuddling my dog at the time, so he makes a blurry appearance:

I promise this dress covers my bum! But yes, it was fun dressing up ... I remember doing this a few times as a teenager, dressing up just for fun and taking pictures. It's good to bring out that side of yourself, even if immediately afterwards I just piled myself into my PJ's and drank some hot cocoa.

But yes! If you happened to miss this month's edition of Project Barbie, stayed tuned to Andhari's blog; maybe it'll be something monthly, or bi-monthly? Or, if you happen to have some time today, just wear something pink -- doesn't have to be a dress -- and show your pictures! You can leave a comment to your blog if you've done it - or comment on Andhari's, since I think she's compiling all the photos!

And, surprisingly for me, this isn't the last day I'll be dressing up this week. My university's holding a ball that I'm considering my 'prom' since I never went to a formal dance in my four years here. So I guess this Saturday you can expect some pictures from there, too.

Oh, and if you haven't already, take a look at my giveaway, since it finishes in five days :)

Wednesday Wishes will be coming back with a vengeance next week. Since watching Leap Year in the theatres with my friends and re-watching P.S. I Love You with my mom on Sunday, I've been day-dreaming about one place in particular (ten points if you know what this place this).

Hope you've had a great week so far!
And if not ... hope the rest of the week makes up for it :)
