I knew I wouldn’t be too busy at uni today, and since it was so lovely out, I thought today would be the perfect time to wear my Motel maxi skirt (I posted about it here)!

This isn’t something that I’d normally wear, but ever since I saw I online, I’d been so excited to wear it! And I’d received a few comments on it today, which makes me a smiley girl

I must admit though, it is a little troublesome to wear; I have to be aware of stairs or it might touch the steps… I have to be aware when I bend down to pick something up or it’ll reach the floor… I have to be careful of my surroundings in case the skirt gets caught on something… And actually, this afternoon, I wasn’t paying attention when I zipped my jacket up, part of the skirt got caught in the zip! Luckily, it came out unharmed… if not, sadface times would have ensued!

Happy I was when Mr AG handed me my Motel order!

Right after I tore the packaging off, I reached for my maxi skirt. I was slightly worried about the size as I decided to get this in an XS/UK 8 instead of a S/UK 10 based on the measurements given on the website… and plus, I wanted it to sit more on the waist than the hip (because I am short, and the skirt looks super long!).

Anyway, the skirt is super long, and the waist band is elastic and sits on my waist just the way I wanted it. It is very flowy, very pleasted, and the wine colour is vibrant! Can’t wait for a windy day for a change (I’m usually not very fond of any skirts reaching pass my knees, and windy days in those skirts = Monroe moments)!

Motel Patsie Skirt

Next up is the Sassy skirt in coral. The coral is more on the pink side, but I don’t particular mind. I got this one in a S/UK 10… and it just fits around my waist, borderline tight (it is a zip up skirt, so it probably has less leeway than the Patsie skirt despite being a size larger!), and reaches to just above my knee. It is flowy and feels very light weight; very summery. I see this one with a plain top tucked under the skirt… Any other inspirations?

And then my long awaited Gemma dress in red! I got this in a S/UK 10 based on my Motel Naomi dress (which fitted like a charm).

It was so difficult to get this on, so much that I think I’m doing it wrong… I was worried about ripping the waist part as I put the dress over my head, trying to squeeze my arms through.

At the end, once it was on, everything fitted nice, except the bust area. It’s a problem I encounter quite a fair bit… perhaps it was tailored more towards well-endowed ladies? I don’t know, but hopefully I can get away with it!

But yes, apart from that, it is super cute on, comfortable despite it being hard to put on and remove (so definitely not going shopping while I’m wearing this dress, or dress-room time will be at least trebled!)… Cute length, cute shoulder buttons, cute cut-out back… it’s just cute. =] I’m tempted to get the navy one now…

But but but, they were having a sale, and how could I  possibly resist…?

So, once again… Forgive me, for I have sinned.

And just when I was telling Mr AG how proud I was of myself that I haven’t shopped for a while… till he read out the credit card charges (I’ve made a small Cotton On purchase 2 days ago, and a Glassons purchase 4 days back)… Sheepish I was.

It seriously felt like it’s been a while…!

Anyway, these are the goodies I’m waiting for in Mr AG’s mail… hopefully soon.

First up in the first row is the Gemma dress in red; I’ve mentioned in this post in a wishlist (finally bought one, and here’s hoping it’ll fit nicely!).

From the website: “An amazing bright red summer dress with scoop neckline, button tab sleeves and contrast trim edging. The dress is fitted with a full skater style skirt with subtle pleats. A cut out v-back with button closures means you can bare some skin!”

Second row, the Sassy skirt in coral. I really like the way it flows, looks airy fairy! And I wanted something in coral too (don’t have many if any!)

From the website: “Introducing our new skater style Sassy skirt in coral. The cotton skirt is full with slight pleats and falls to the mid-thigh – absolutely perfect for summer! Team with wedges or sandals.”

And in third row is the Patsie maxi pleat skirt in wine. And usually, anything past the knee I wouldn’t like. But this one looks very versatile, and very feminine.

From the website: “A beautiful wine coloured maxi skirt in a sheer fabric with knife pleats. The skirt is fully lined for a dramatic look.”
