Aussie Curves Strapless

I wonder what kind of giggling went on when the lovely women who dreamed up the Aussie Curves challenge set the tasks. I think they knew what they were doing when they wanted to push our limits. But it must have been a hoot when someone yelled" I know, let's do strapless".
I do not know a single large woman who likes wearing strapless. I do know a lovely curvy young dancer who loves strapless. Especially if that means corset. But her mother is acutely aware of the slopy shoulder dilemma that means strapless emphasises her apple tendency. I dont really have a problem with my arms. Its just the shouldersok?
Never the less I have two wonderful skirts by TS14 plus that lend themselves to a dress conversion. The red one has already been featured in an Aussie Curves challenge for skirts so I have used the other one.
The belt is from Autograph and the shoes from Rivers. I think the necklace is Autograph last season.
Strapless doesnt mean you cant wear sleeves though right?
So I would prefer to team my skirt/dress with this lovely light mesh shrug from Autograph.
It's the line thing. The opening of the shrug gives a vertical line. Always good on a round body.
But just for fun, lets show some shoulder girls
My oldest likes the cheekiness of this one.
Thanks for reading. Comments are always welcome.
Go see what the other, much younger than me women are doing to meet this challenge.

  1. I think you're totally pulling off the strapless look. Love that you can convert your maxi skirts for another outfit choice. I hear you on covering up the shoulders too...mine haven't seen the light of day for many, many years!

  8. Hi Martine it's imposssible to reply via email when you leave a comment on my blog that comes into my inbox. When I click reply I get noreply-comment@blogger.com ... hence me being here ;)
    Darling Thanks so much for your concern but changing to Wordpress ... that's too massive to contemplate ... six years of blogging Yikes!!! I'd never know where to begin ... plus that wouldn't solve the problem of all my pics in Picasa. Yes I agree being held to ransom by Google is for real. I'm going to pay the $2.49 a month for the time being till I get time to really sit and muddle over what and how is going on ;)
    Hugs,
    Cherie.
