anybody want to do dressember with me?

December 1st marks the beginning of 'Dressember' - the challenge for women (or the adventurous male) everywhere to shake up their wardrobe and try ditching the jeans and t-shirts.

We're aiming to wear dresses as often as possible - don't worry if it's not practical in the day, you can go for a skirt/top combo if needed, or have fun and dress up in the evening in that cocktail dress you never get to wear!

Im hoping this will give me a real confidence boost as just recently I have been dressing quite scruffy and it has been making me feel bad about myself (does anyone else get this?)

there is a facebook group for it where you can upload a piccy on the days you join in

This is SUCH a nice idea!! I am such a girlie girl - and up until 3.5 years ago I didn't even own a pair of trousers! But then the company I joined is VERY casual - it's actually a clothing brand so we have to wear the gear to work too, which I thought was great (and it still is - saves you thinking of what to wear in the morning!!) but like you say, it does make you feel a little scruffy and "bleugh" just wearing hoodies, jeans and technical jackets everyday!

In the week I probably won't be able to join in (I work away a lot as well, so even most of the evenings are out I'm afraid) but weekend's I'm SO IN!!! :happy:

WOMAN LOOK SO PRETTY IN A DRESS ....

"and thats all i have to say about that "

" life is like a box of chocolate, you dont know what your going to get "

"but it look better in a pettie four" lol

I have been in jeans and trainers which are actually my running shoes so now I am dusting off my boots


should also add that skirts are ok too which is good as there is only so many times I can create a new look with the same dress and I am also not very "girly girl"

Hehe, I am with you on that aspect too!! I was just thinking would I be terminally uncool to wear a lovely pretty dress with Ugg boots?? :laugh: Like you say, they predict - 10 degrees and 6 inches of snow tomorrow so it will be a little chilly!! Although I am working on events at the Sno!Zones all week, so I will be getting in the practice for the snowy weather...I'm afraid it's full ski gear though for that, no dresses on the slopes! :happy:
