mamma mia!

who would have thought.
me actually embracing a body con trend. it has been around for a bit of a looonnnggg while (i remember having photos of christopher kane's body con collection on my myspace when i FIRST made it, myspace, oh myspace), and i never really thought it'd ever get into it.
firstly i don't have the body suited to donning this somewhat unforgiving style, and secondly, i have not once seen a nice body con dress in any of the usual shops i buy in.
But then all of a sudden in the last few weeks a decided i actually really like the whole body con thing, and i might be able to pass it off with a few alterations.

i pulled out an old black skirt from my Auckland University Conservatory of Music performing days (they're into starting kids young...kiwis), and seeing as its a lot tighter on me now than it was when i was 10, i plan on shortening it, altering the waist slightly, and adding a massive metal zip right down the middle.

Let's call on Camille for some inspiration:

i'm über excited!!
