As you can imagine, I do like a good night out.
Hitting the city, all dolled up, with good pals, is the best tonic for a tiring and dreary week.
A few "refreshments" and a pumping dance floor to groove my cares away was very much needed.
I'd even bitten the bullet and gotten my haircut on Friday.( Look, a fringe!)
(I know, I know! Nothing too crazy, but still it took all my courage to even get this done!)
So, on Saturday I'd donned my new to me non-vintage dress from the Waverley Antique Bazaar (ironic huh?), my pretty tights with the seams and bows and the sweetest little
op shopped red cane bag.
And there I was, all plucked and primped, fragrant with Poeme and anticipation, ready to hit the town, when I got the call no gal wants to get.
Sorry! Night out is cancelled!
Bugger! Bugger! Bugger!
And a wee tear rolled down my heavily made up cheek!
Oh, how I had wanted to dance with wild abandon!
Oh, how I had wanted to gas bag and catch up with friends!
Oh, how I had wanted to laugh and giggle and snicker!
And so the pretty, twirly frock came off.
The warpaint came off.
The PJ's were changed into.
And the bag of Maltesers was broken out.
The night wasn't a complete disaster because I finally got to watch some of the horror films I'd been dying to watch. All four of them! Back to back!
And I did have a great day today celebrating Fathers Day with my wonderful Dad and gorgeous hubby, but still, I mourn for the night out that could have been and all the hi-jinks that
were missed out on.
It was lucky that I had snapped these pics of my ensemble before the night fell apart.
Until next time little frock.......
Does anyone else have any sad tales of nights out that never were?
yes, bugger bugger bugger! on the plus side your hair is gorgeous!a bow too! the fringe looks fab, and I think it is a plunge, I always longed for a Louise Brooks bob, which I tried despite having a whopper of a cowlick (bad move)your non-vintage dress is fabulous too - you majestically salvaged your evening, 4 films is impressive! xx 1 night out, 1 husband, kids sleepover at nan's, 2 vodka martinis made by husband before leaving, I arrive smashed at the pub and had to go home, brutal xx
ReplyDeleteI wanted a Louise Brooks bob too!!!! But the time I did try and get that style I walked out of the hairdressers looking like Mrs Brady! Love your sad tale - oh the multitude of times I have tried to pretend that I was young and carefree like all the pretty young thangs in the bar and gone a bit too hard and then kabam! Wipeout! XXX
DeleteA lovely frock indeed! I am quite sure you'll have many other opportunities to wear it. I would have bought this dress too, if I saw it first:)
ReplyDeleteI hope my new to me frock and I will have many adventures together. It is such a cute vintage style. :)
DeleteOh no! What a shame your night out got cancelled, when you were looking so fabulous as well! Hope the films and the Maltesers were some compensation.
ReplyDeleteYour fringe looks beautiful. xxx
Thanks - I am still getting used to the fringe. It still doesn't quite look like me. The scary films and chocolate balls of goodness did help.....a bit. XXX
