Madness... Madness! .. MADNESS!?!!?!?!?!!?... (On a side note: Let's get hitched???)

Today I decided was the opportune day for an Op shopping spree!!! So together with the family I ventured across Perth on the look-out for some good places to 'cash-in'. Ultimately after suffering through several horrible remixes of 'American Pie' and finally being relieved by Tim & Jean's 'Come Around' we wound up somewhere in the Joondalup area, at what was possibly the largest and most well organised Salvos I've ever been to!!
Now, on the scale of Op-shops I have to admit, Slavos are PRICEY! (Good Sammy's are always much more flexible when it comes to pricing) However, in this case, the sheer multitude of variety and organisation at this place is well worth the extra dollar, come sale time.

So after a fair amount of browsing, and with the up and coming 'formal dinner' I will be attending tomorrow night in mind, I was on the hunt for some simple cocktail dresses that would be perfect to jazz up with ribbons, beads, scarves or whatever else that makes its way into my fiddly little fingers. Here are just 3 simple designs that when combines with accessories can act as complete and utter showstoppers!

(Plain and baby blue lace, works really well with that idea of 'Winter Wonderland'; our dinners theme. Although I do think something like this would look amazing in both white or grey, especially as I usually see baby blue working well on girls with light coloured hair or eyes.)

(The signature LBD or Little Black Dress is indeed a must have. I love the detail on the breast of the dress and the way the dress flows out at the waist to create a soft umbrella umbrella skirt base. The best thing about black however is it always looks good - slimming effects also being a plus. You can dress it up or dress it down depending oh where you wanna go and how much attention you're hoping to attract- In my case; I go for gold!)

(Okay, before I mentioned the 'Winter Wonderland-esqu-ness' of the first dress however this one takes it to a whole new level! Although the dresses colour is more suited to something I'd consider as 'ocean bound' I still love the beading which kind of reminded me of snowflakes. The true 'ga-ga' factor of this dress however, had to have been the way it sat on the body; pretty much hiding any and every lump and bump from the boobs down... Sadly, due to my severe lack of 'breast-es-ess' the dress didn't completely knock my socks off as I spent far too much time worrying that it may fall down to reveal my goodies before the formal dinners celebrations had fully begun. But, if unlike myself, you happen to be blessed with the gift of 'boob-age', then this dress is perfect for you!! It shows off your best assets (the girls) and at the same time hides everything else!- Seriously, How could you not be happy with something like that???)

Anyway just before I finish up (as I believe I've ranted far too much already), Let me just say that although at this point in my life I can't ever see myself tying the knot... OP SHOP WEDDING DRESSES MAKE ME WANNA GET HITCHED!!!!

Anytime I see them I revert back to my childhood... and a voice in my head immediately squeels: "DRESSUPTIME!!!!" Although a wedding dress is not the most practical of things, if I didn't look like and absolute douche-bag, I would probably choose to wear one everyday!!

Yeap, I did it.I forced my sister to try one on.

(((MARRY ME???)))

Someone propose to me already so I can buy one!!! Pleassseeeeee!!!...ishax
