Heidi

It appears that I'm obsessed with books this week, it seems to be my main blog topic.

Today was world book day, and some of us decided to go to work dressed as a character from a children's book.

Dirndl - vintage (bought in Munich), shoes - next
I have to stress, Heidi isn't my favourite children's book, but as soon as anyone mentions fancy dress to me , my first thought is always "can I incorporate my Dirndl? "

Turns out I could this time, result. Only me and one other girl dressed up. That doesn't bother me though, I'm just happy the Dirndl got an outing.

A great character to be dressed as on world book day, you look smashing!
I'm obsessed with dirndls and can't stop buying them. You've inspired me to do another dirndl post...all I have to do now is to round them all up, which may take a while...why oh why, didn't I put them all in one place? I think dirndl dresses are incredibly flattering and feminine...xXx

I used to get so excited about wearing fancy dress stuff to work. All my colleagues would moan. One year though, the theme was bad taste, and I wore a jumpsuit with shoulder pads and satin applique flowers. I wondered why the deputy head looked so cheesed off. Turns out she had a large collection of such suits in peach, mushroom and aqua - paid a fortune for them and wore them at weekends!
You look absolutely gorgeous in your dirndl and need more excuses to wear it!

Hurrah! I didn't have a clue about international book day.....I would have dressed up as, ooo, a Jane Austen character, maybe?!
Everytime you wear that dirndl I die a little of jealousy! XXX

That dirndl looks great on you so it's an utterly brilliant idea to utilise it into a fancy dress costume. x

I'd wear that dirndl as often as possible, it's fantastic! x

My childhood friend got given a beautiful dirndl when we were kiddies, I was very envious of it!
