This time it appears to be me that inspired a dress from Woman’s Own:

This is a picture from last year when my school won a big party from Vodafone. It wasn’t actually at Granada Studios, it was at some boutique hotel (the name of which escapes me now) in Manchester. Fabulous night and I was very pleased with the vintage 80s-does-50s dress that I managed to find for £12.00

Imagine my delight when, on flicking through my Woman’s Own magazines, I found this:

It’s not exactly the same, but there are enough similarities to make me happy. I just need a pink headband and rosey bag. I could also do with being able to fit back into this dress for a wedding in a couple of weeks’ time. Unfortunately, having eaten my own body weight in chocolate tonight, I’m not sure that is going to happen. I’ve done so much running in the last week, but all it’s done is made me hungry, hungry, hungry!

Ah well, will just have to buy another dress instead…
