While the more in-depth content is a bit light at the moment, please enjoy another outfit photo. This dress is the one I bought from Torrid the other month, snapped up while it was on sale! Torrid’s shipping to Australia is disturbingly and consistently expensive so I was glad to go in on a group order with a friend. It’s actually a size or two too big for me! The arm holes are very low, exposing any bra I wear with it so I decided to wear a little cardigan today. I’ll alter it when I’ve got time but even taking it won’t help the low arm hole business!
It was a windy day today and after Nick took these photos I actually went back inside to put on leggings because I fear the embarrassment of a blown up skirt! We went in to town to get a new fridge because ours has decided it has run its course and repairs are going to cost the price of a new one. Silly isn’t it? I also got a new stand mixer because mine isn’t electrically sound anymore… It sparks inside the casing, not very safe!!
This photo is for a THING I have been nominated for. It’s kind of gob-smacking and I don’t feel comfortable telling you about it until Monday when I know it’s for real! All I can say is that I will need to call on your support and I love you love you love you all :P
Dress: Torrid
Cardigan: I don’t know!
Sandals: Evans
And just one thing before I go: Do you have any suggestions for a strapless bra for a big cup and band? They are unicorns in Australian stores!
Hey,
A friend of mine needed a strapless bra for a wedding, she went to the Valley to Big Girls Don’t Cry Anymore. I’m looking on their website (http://www.brastogo.com.au/index.php?option=com_content&view=frontpage&Itemid=53) and it appears they go up to 26G in a certain strapless style?!?

What size back? I am a J, so I have an idea of a number of brands.
That dress is really pretty :)

I like the colours, Natalie! Re: strapless bras, I don’t know if this comes in your size, but I got this last year and it is hands down the best strapless bra I’ve ever owned: http://www.ultimatestrapless.co.uk/
I could only order it online here, but maybe you can test it out in store if it’s in your size. It totally passed the jumping test.
Beautiful! So colorful and fresh.
I tend to avoid BGDCA because the last time I went in there the assistant was pretty rude and they only had two bras in my size… and it was for my wedding! I had a look at the site and couldn’t see any bras that’d be big enough in the band size :(
It really depends, I have a hard time knowing my exact size but in AU sizes I’m around a 20 F or G and in UK sizes a 42 G seems to fit me alright. But of course it’s different for every brand!
I love this dress on you! This colour is beautiful!!
Perfect combo with the hair. LIKE
