An Affair With Fashion

I feel so lucky to have some gorgeous ladies participating in my review of fashion purchases for 2009! We’ve already laughed and reminisced with Vanja Stace, My Edit and Adored Austin.

This week I asked the lovely Megan from Time After Tea to share her fashion story for last year. Every time I read her blog, even just the title alone makes me want to sit down with a cup of tea and gaze at the sky in between writing long letters to friends. Here are the answers from Megan…

What is the name of your blog?
Time After Tea

When did you start the blog?
October 2009

What do you blog about?
Anything and everything really. Whatever happens to inspire me on the day. However, I regularly post about "Body Love" and mail art.

Please tell us about your "It Only Happened Once" affair or your "Bloggers’ Victorious Flings" affair or your "Reveal Your Obsession" Affair.
My new obsession, Maxi Dresses

Where did you buy this item?
I always thought I was too short to get away with wearing a maxi dress. I would see other girls wearing them and sigh with envy. Anyway I spotted this one in Just Jeans and it was on sale, only $20, so I tried it on. It looked pretty good and I didn’t think I was too short after all. Every time I wear it I get compliments, I think the colours are really vibrant and catch people’s attention. I think I learnt an important lesson not to write off a certain "fashion" item because I think it wont suit me. You have to try it on before you write it off. I now have three maxi dresses and wear them to death. They are a one stop outfit and something to pull out when you think that nothing suits you.

What are your new year’s resolutions in relation to your An Affair With
Fashion?
I love vintage pieces so want to keep an eye out for pieces that reflect my style. I am also in my last year of university so money is a little tight, so I am hoping to do a little more op shopping and thrifting. It’s amazing what you can find!

Thanks for sharing your new obsession Megan! I agree it is fun to just give something a chance and try it on. Then we can find new garments that we never thought we would wear. You look great in this dress! Has anyone else found an obsession by taking this chance in the change rooms?
