Hello and a big wave to other Aussie members on here!
Oh my, those snow pictures were a welcome break from all the heat we've all had lately. I think I could spend all day looking at them.
Like a lot of the other forum members, I have absolutely *lived* in dresses all summer long. I have one or two which are a jersey and the others are cotton.
Up here in Queensland I've found that with the humidity, anything with layers makes me feel completely sticky and icky. Interestingly, in the dry heat, layers didn't bother me quite as much.
I've found a pretty summer dress, a bangle or necklace, my new sandals (for a casual day at home) or wedges (for out and about) with a light coloured handbag makes me feel comfy and pulled together.
I've loved being able to wear the dresses now my children have *finally* moved past toddler age into being school-kids. In the early days of motherhood, unfortunately wearing a skirt or a dress was a risky exercise as my youngest child went through a terrible phase of wanting to play "peek-a-boo!". For this little game he would suddenly and randomly without warning lift up my dress/skirt and gleefully yell those fateful words. We won't mention the time he decided to play his little game on the school run in front of ALL the parents one morning. And I was wearing bright pink undies. Oh, well I guess at least I made an impression! Funnily enough, now he is a "big boy", he has no memories of his love of playing that little game "with Mummy"...
