It was the most beautiful and warmest day so far this year, with temperatures reaching 22 Celsius in the afternoon. The view from my kitchen window was this:
My Mum and I love going to those shows (twice a year); they give you sparkling wine and snacks, and of course watching the show itself is fun. It is rare for me to find anything I want among the outfits presented (I am not quite part of their target group - that will be the case in another 10-20 years), but we usually stay after the show and have a look round on the entire floor. I nearly always find something for myself then, and this time was no exception.
Here is the dress I bought:
And what it looks like on the fashion label's website:
Tonight, I'll be having another one of my beloved cocktail parties. Tomorrow, I'll be off to Ulm, a town a 1 1/2 hour train ride away. I'll stay there all of next week and will only come back next Saturday evening. This is the start of my course at the Academie for Data Protection and Information Security. I won't be able to visit blogland from there, so it's good-bye for a week. Be good!
Hope your course goes well Meike and I love the view from your kitchen. By the way, the dress looks just as good on you.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Maggie!
DeleteYes, it's a beautiful view, I enjoy it every morning while I am waiting for the kettle to boil.
Spring has arrived in Ludwigsburg! And it's on its way here in Ohio! I love the dress you chose and wish you a wonderful week in Ulm!
ReplyDeleteSpring is "full on" here, it's lovely! Although it has become a bit cooler now, there probably won't be any wintery setback.
DeleteThank you, I am sure the week in Ulm will be good.
Beautiful dress!
ReplyDeleteBon voyage, and good luck with the course!
Three times thank you :-)
DeleteNot many people look the way the models do, but you do :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great week and enjoy the warmth.
Thank you, Fi!
DeleteThe warmth is taking a break right now, but that's ok, since I'll be sitting in the course all week anyway :-)
Do hope you can wear your new dress at the course - it needs its time in the spotlight!
ReplyDeleteOh no, I'd be hopelessly overdressed like that at the course. It's not even required to appear in business attire; RJ has been on that course before me and says most people turn up in jeans, and shirts for the men and and blouses for the women. So that will be my outfit, too.
DeleteThis simple dress is very elegant and your figure sets it off to perfection.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the course, whatever the dress code, and come back having learned all the things you want to learn.
Thank you, Friko!
DeleteI did indeed enjoy the course very much, it was a great week (and I was very much in line with the general dress code of jeans and blouse). This was the first of three parts; I am already looking forward to going back there in May for the next part.
Oh, spring is soo much further along around where you live :)
ReplyDeleteAnd you've certainly got the right figure for that dress!
Thank you, Monica!
DeleteWhere I was all week for the course is not that far from home really (just 1 1/2 hours on the train), but it was colder there, and even snowed twice during the week.
If I might be so bold Arian - you look rather sexy in that dress!
ReplyDelete"Miss Arian, will you come into my office. I need to dictate a letter."
"I'll be right with you Mr Pudding."
You may be so bold, YP; that is one of the things I like about my blog - I can brag about new clothes as much as I want, and even get nice comments about them :-)
DeleteLove your new dress! Hoope you have fun at your party, and that next week's classes will give you a few opportunities to enjoy yourself in Ulm. xoxo
ReplyDeleteThank you, Carol!
DeleteThe party was great fun, and I enjoyed this week's classes and nearly everything else there very much.
Hope you have been having fun! And the dress looks even better on you than it does on the model!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jenny - that is, of course, the kind of comment I love to read :-D
DeleteMy week was great, and there will be a few pictures from the area in one of my next posts.
