The Zara dress is gorgeous and it really looks a current item too, I love how you diy-ed the shoulders, I think I will try that on one of my dresses as I'm not keen on halter necks either.

I don't think I have anything that is big and exotic or not that I can immediately think of. I have done big stripes before and needless to say, looking back, I'm not going there again. <br /><br />This year, it's eyes and nose. I wake up in the night due to the nose - pretty pants eh? And during the day, the eyes are a killer. I have moments when I don't seem to bad and then you get that familiar itch and it all starts up again. You can't tell from the photo but about half an hour before - red raw.<br /><br />Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13656222741423910557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530322011980194624.post-3867169062554025582013-07-14T22:17:03.142+01:002013-07-14T22:17:03.142+01:00Helen, if you had hayfever as well - I would say, ...Helen, if you had hayfever as well - I would say, you've been dealt a bad set of cards.

They didn't really get the light of day last year but are making up for lost time this year. I've done a dress a day so far this week - it's brilliant and I've enjoyed wearing them. I couldn't bear to wear jeans in this heat.<br /><br />Hayfever - my Ben gets it bad as well - I make him pop an antihistamine each day (like me).

I like this maxi but don't like any of my other ones - I think I see too many on the school run - it's the safe option for those who want to wear a dress without getting their legs out. And the tie waist is brilliant as it allows me to "shorten" the dress otherwise it would be trailing the floor.<br /><br />And I am rubbish in the sun - I like to see it, I just don't like being in it when it's too hot and I invariably spend most of my time inside - part due to heat - part due to hayfever. And believe it or not, after the horrendous hayfever day yesterday - I'm okay today ... just after I bought the Octrivine.

I don't think this was even one of those dresses that sold that well in Zara at the time. I picked it up in the sale at half price so you can imagine I was one happy bunny and then spent a few hours trying to rework the straps to suit me. Looked very different when it was a halter style and the straps came from the middle of the bust but I knew I could make it work for me.<br /><br />Clarity, Piriton, anything with Cetrizine Hydrochloride or Loratadine - tried them all including the local honey remedy where you keep eating honey produced locally so you can become desensitised to the pollen around you. But the man around the corner doesn't seem to be doing the stuff anymore :o( Anyway, one more shot - bought some Octrivine to try.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13656222741423910557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530322011980194624.post-75813800786354235442013-07-14T21:49:28.589+01:002013-07-14T21:49:28.589+01:00Totally melty Fen & Louise!
