Grey Mandarin

Maybe the title of this post doesn't quite do the dress justice. Grey mandarins are usually the ones you find at the bottom of the fruit bowl that you run the risk of inhaling if you get too close. So don't think of those now that I have put that image in your head. Thanks. I 'preciate it.

I have had this dress for aaaaaages. I was living in my first flat which was a really long time ago. I also wore it to my cousins 21st. Sadly- that is a reminder that that is also a very long time ago.

It isn't on high rotation these days- but it makes its way into my workplace from time to time.



I don't know if this could be seen as culturally insensitive- but I always wear mandarin collars with my hair up and chopsticks. That's not wrong is it?

The chopsticks have actually also been around a very long time. My parents got them as a wedding present but they have been living with my hair accessories now for the last 15 years or so!
