of all sad words of tongue and pen, the saddest three are "might have been"...

Its been one of those days today, unfortunately. Where everything seems to go wrong, when everyone seems to be out to get you and upset you. Not a nice day. The lowlight for me was the much-anticipated lunch event that never happened. The plan for today had included partaking of the 6-course lunch special at Marque restaurant with a group of my colleagues - and much to my great sorrow, work commitments got in the way and I had to eat lunch sitting at my desk (thinking wistfully all the while of my friends enjoying their delicious lunch). *le sigh*

To add insult to injury, I had dressed especially for the occasion in a new dress and my favourite heels (and despite how much I adore these stockings, wearing them in Sydney heat today was no joke!). All dressed up an no place to go. At least I could draw some consolation from the fact that my office is air-conditioned, and I was dressed nicely  - that's always a comfort.

I made V take these pictures of me when I got home - I wasn't going to waste my nice outfit! Plus it cheered me up.

My lovely, lovely mum bought this dress for me this week (along with numerous items of sleepwear) from the Peter Alexander outlet store in Sydney - the dress is actually daywear, I am not wearing my nightie in public!

My attempt at a twirl...

The dress is a really lovely shade of peach sorbet, which my modest little digital camera doesn't really do justice to.

I just adore these Forever New stockings! It was sweltering hot today, but they just MADE the outfit, so I suffered and wore them, and it was totally worth it.

My beautiful Christmas present necklace from V.

Anyway, hooray for Friday! Hope everyone had a better day than me
