Purple salsa

As promised, here is the outfit I wore out to the very special dinner on Saturday. (Again, kindly lent to me by the ever-wonderful Roisin)

It's a wonderful dress, that has the most satisfactory weight to it. It was a complete joy to wear!

I took the weekend off from paperwork, which I don't normally do. I usually just continue to work no matter when it is, but recently I have been feeling like there is more of a need to seperate work time and leisure time. I have been making a more concerted effort to work in set times and then just relax. It was an absolute treat to distance myself from work at the weekend and I really felt like I could enjoy it and relax properly. I really do think it is important to have a good balance between work and time off.  
I am off out to go salsa dancing again this evening - it is my fourth week going and I am really enjoying it.  I have always loved dancing, but it's amazing how just going to this class once a week has improved my coordination and increased my love for dancing again. I hope to start ballroom dancing soon too, just need to find a night when M is free too. :)

I have a party coming up this weekend,  which I have already mentioned, so I am trying to slowly get things organised for it. I need to source a few more games and get nibbles and punch organised. It is fun though! I love parties! I'l post some pics after the weekend. 


That's  enough ramblings for today :)

Red!

So those of you that know me well, will know that I have steered clear of wearing red for most of my life, thinking that it didn't suit me because of my red hair, etc. etc. But not anymore! I think I just never chose the correct shade of red. This week I shall be wearing 2 different red dresses. One I wore today, on loan from the lovely Roisin (- we had a lovely dress-up session on Friday) and the other is one that I bought especially for my birthday party next weekend. It's a fancy dress party and I am going as Miss Scarlett, and I'm so very very excited!
With all that talk of dresses it would be unfair of me not to show you what they look like, so I am going to do something that I haven't ever done before on my blogs - an outfit shot! It was quite difficult to find a pose that suited the dress and that didn't make me look silly, so this is the best one from the bunch.

It's a very cute dress and although you can't see the lovely detail on the hearts ( - they have faces!), I am thrilled that I got to prance around in it today. Thanks Roisin! :)

With that I'm off, we're off out to dinner tonight so I will no doubt have an outfit change shortly. :)
