WIW catch-up: last week with the dress challenge

Hello everyone,
First I would like to apologize for disappearing in the middle of the last week. I had to do a lot of medical tests which made me run around like a headless chicken and put under a lot of stress. Plus my (borrowed and very old) computer has been acting up and crashing every hour or so which made doing anything on it next to impossible.
I would also like to everyone who offered advice on my thread how to clean white leather bags, as I feel bad bringing it back up after 10 or so days. I am about to try lots of suggestions from it.

Last week was Ingunn's dress challenge, so I tried to participate and wore a dress for every non-work occasion. I have already posted Monday and Tuesday outfits, but am including them here again for completeness. As usual, all the suggestions are more than welcome!

#1 (Monday work): Theory black Gabe B blazer, F21 grey slouchy tee, TR Brianna BF jeans, Nine West zebra belt, DV spotted oxfords

Tanya,you look beautiful in everything! My favorite is your white dress in 2/3 with those stylish SE sandals. Are they comfortable for a day's wear?

These are all so nice on you, Tanya! I remember the white dress from your other thread. LOVE 8 and also the playful feel of 12.

Thank you very much Joy and Pil!

Joy, those SE sandals are quite comfortable in terms of the foot bed, I would guess they are about 6-h shoes. However, the ankle strap comes pretty high and their is a zipper, so the second time I wore them they rubbed my skin pretty bad ( did not happen the first time). I will see if it happens again and if it does, I might need to resort to some moleskin. This could be due to the fact that even on the tightest hook, the straps were loose around my ankle as my ankles are quite skinny.

I was away for the dress challenge and I'm catching up on everything forumwise now. I love all iterations Tanya. I like how you can be lady like in a dress and a bit sporty in jean outfits. Such fab interesting looks. I think my faves are 2,3,4, 9 10,11, and 14

Tanya!! It truly is always a treat to see you post. And you have such a brilliant collection of fun and beautiful dresses. I adore all your outfits, but almost fainted when I saw you rocking the lilac blazer with the light blue skinnies. SOOO gorgeous!! My second favourite is the white cotton dress, because it just looks so Summery and fresh, and it's gorgeous paired with those fab two-toned sandals.

(Oh no! You need a new computer!).

You rocked this dress challenge like nobodys business, Tanya! You get a 20 out of 10

I have to go with #3 as my absolute best. Followed by #5 and #8. KILLER!

Thank you so much ladies! It was lots of fun. Felling quite grumpty about my annoying work dress code.

Unfortunately, a new computer won't be in my budget in a near future, so I have to make best with what I have.

I love the blue skinnies and lilac jacket. I need to find a pair of light blue skinnies and then I will copy you!
