Minty Freshness OOTD (07.09.13.)

Well helloooo there everyone,

I hope life has been treating you fine since we last spoke! The sun is shinning and the birds are singing outside my window right now. One of those days that makes you thankful to be alive.

I'm back today to show you dress #2 from my mini fashion haul via Sweet Pea Boutique. This little number is by Spicy Sugar, but for the life of me I can't find a link for it anywhere online! Grrr. So no clue what the name of this one is. This must be a rather indie clothing company, which is always nice. So I've named her myself. Ladies and gents I give you"Minty Freshness". Here she is...

(Earrings: Forever21)
(Duck lips for dayz)

(Sunnies: Smart Set)
(Eyes: MAC "Satin Taupe" & "Jest" Lips: Revlon Balm Stain "Honey")
There she is! She's a bit less sassy then "Nottingham" , and definitely more on the soft and feminine side. I will admit, now that I have her home and I've put her on again, I wish she was a bit longer. I'm a tall girl, measuring in at 5'10", so I often find I have this problem. There are so many cute dresses out there in the shops right now, but they're all so bloody short on me! Let's be honest here folks, I'm also carrying some junk in my trunk ... so that combined with my tall frame just increases the shortness of a garment. When I put "Minty Freshness" on in the changing room I thought she was the perfect length... I  totally forgot to do the changing room test. You know the one where you walk around, bend over and do a little dance. While she does pass most of the test, she FAILS in the bending over category. It's all good, I'll just make sure to bend my knees and squat down when I want to pick up that Lucky Penny off the street. 

Much love to you all,

Erin  xx

Daily Tidbits:
  • I just got in from soaking up the Vitamin D. When you don't have a backyard you have to suck it up and lay out front. Strutting my "bikini bod"  for the world to see. 
  • It has been insanely hot here the past week. It's making sleeping at night almost impossible. We need to upgrade our dinky fan to an A/C
  • I've been receiving a lot of postcards lately. Thinking my next post will be a PostCrossing update from June.
  • A man just walked in front of my home screaming on the phone about how "NOBODY CAN PLAY AS GOOD AS ERIC CLAPTON CAN!". Righto... righto.

  1. Definitely more on the softer and more feminine side compared to dress #1! The colour is lovely :>

    Also, if anything you could wear a pair of boxer-type-shorts under the dress to avoid revealing...things....XD

  2. Aw I absolutely love this post! That dress is gorgeous, and it looks so beautiful on you! (: I always have the same problem with dresses being too short, ugh it's so frustrating! I usually just wear spandex or tight running shorts under them.

  8. What a gorgeous dress! The colour and texture is adorable :) I've never actually thought to do the 'changing room' test, but that's a great tip for when I next go shopping!! Thanks x

    1. Wow, thank you so much for checking out my blog Imogen. I'm really flattered because I love yours so much! Thanks for the compliment. Yes, the "changing room test" is a must for some pieces. You look like a crazy person but at least you're behind a curtain ;)
