OOTD: Lady in red!

November 18, 2011 by · 24 Comments

I’ve really not been in the mood for OOTD posts, if you hadn’t noticed. Since getting out of the hospital I’ve been sleeping heaps and my outfits have been nothing spectacular. However when this beauty turned up in the mail yesterday, I couldn’t wait to show it off!

This SWAK dress was sent to me by Curvy is Beautiful (I’ll be talking about them in an upcoming post!) and I’m all sorts of in love. This is the Anastasia Wrap Dress and I had lots of fun playing around with the 82380723 different ways you can wear it. Okay, slight exaggeration, but there is many different styles this dress converts to. The material is really soft, so soft I kind of don’t want to take it off, ever. I’m excited about wearing as a skirt this summer, but thought i’d show it off first as a dress.

I was waiting for my Dad to start singing ‘Lady in Red’ when he saw me in it, I was slightly disappointed when he didn’t, instead he told me ‘You look nice’. Yep, my Dad loves the colour red. I didn’t want to go overboard, so I left everything else with this outfit simple and minimal. Oh, and my hair, I had it permed and coloured last week, it uh, didn’t work out how it was supposed to.

    “I’ve never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight

    I’ve never seen you shine so bright

    I’ve never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance

    They’re looking for a little romance, given half a chance

    I have never seen that dress you’re wearing

    Or the highlights in your head that catch your eyes I have been blind”
    :D Hopefully that is the right one. You look beautiful as always, you wear it well.

    Aw, thank you so much. I’m enjoying wearing red again, I didn’t wear it too much when I had the pink hair.

  • http://extralargeaslife.com/ Natalie Mulford

    Aw, thanks. I wouldn’t say i’m overly happy, i’m having my moments when i’m doing okay though, and for me, right now, that’s as good as being happy.

    Hee, so many ways, I was watching a youtube video and I kind of got overwhelmed with the possibilities!

    You look stunning in this dress, its so beautiful for your figure. In fact i love it so much im going to buy one for myself (cant believe its only $70!!) but the sizing confuses me …. can i ask what size you got and how you found the fit to be? Thanks so much, and once again, you look stunning! Naomi x

    Hi Naomi! I got this in the 1x-3x and found it to be be fine. The general idea of this dress is that it is an elasticated skirt with two very long scarf like areas to it. I’m generally a size 20-22 and this would fit anyone smaller or larger then that. I think it’s kind of meant to be 1xl – 3xl. Also, I found this video helpful in tips and tricks to tie it - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8chweOuvKjo

    My husband always gives me a hard time when I pick up something when we are out, “Oh, look, it’s red.” Red, blue, grey/black seem to be my main color swatches but I am trying to branch out.
