I'll often think that I look bad in a Primark dress because it was cheap, when I suspect that in reality I look the same in it as I would have done in a Topshop dress. It's just a weird trick that my brain plays on me. It wants me to buy more expensive clothes, but I'm not falling for it!Nicolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05011168393700322108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6307704515809716636.post-61358280623588640852010-10-27T21:11:24.853+01:002010-10-27T21:11:24.853+01:00Oh, I saw The Clothes Horse wearing that dress too...Oh, I saw The Clothes Horse wearing that dress too - it looks lovely on both of you.

I am guessing that the photos were taken with the camera a bit too far down, which is why it doesn't look the same as when you look at yourself directly in the mirror - when the camera is lower you get more of a focus on your thighs than normal (I know this because I have suffered from the same camera angle). Your pusska is indeed very handsome, wish I could give him a cuddle now.Penny Dreadful Vintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00658769790784076024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6307704515809716636.post-41661329132314204072010-10-27T10:50:24.637+01:002010-10-27T10:50:24.637+01:00I have the exact feeling happen quite often, hence...I have the exact feeling happen quite often, hence why I avoid photographing myself.<br />I think the dress looks great on you, I love the simplicity of it xAlicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04276217187016872792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6307704515809716636.post-67400236756368961902010-10-27T10:28:53.429+01:002010-10-27T10:28:53.429+01:00I have the same moments, trust me though you look ...I have the same moments, trust me though you look fab.
