Last VM dress co-ord (possibly)

My dress has finally been delivered to my house.  Even though I’m still in Sweden, I’m happy that it’s there waiting for me.  So to celebrate I made one final coordinate on Polyvore.
VM British Check Jumperskirt co-ord 5
My mum opened the package for me to check that it was the right dress, and commented that it would look nice with a pink skivvy underneath!  Well this isn’t a pink skivvy but it’s pink and cute.  I love that jacket, it reminds me of Vivienne Westwood.  Those shoes are Irregular Choice too, and we know how much I like them!  
(I like them so much, I bought a pair.)
Tonight we’re having a farewell party for me… oh no!  I hope I don’t cry!

J et J dress co-ordinate 3!

Here’s another one again!  I really like this dress.  So many options!
Juliette et Justine co-ordinate 3!
This one was inspired by the creamy tones in the lace and ribbons on the dress.  It has a bit more of a vintage feel to it with those boots and the jewellery.  Still can’t figure out a blue co-ordinate but I’ll keep trying!
Each time I make a coordinate, Charles likes this dress more.  Eventually he’ll say “You should buy it!”  Not that I need his permission – but his approval is desirable!
I like Polyvore for another reason – all the items have information attached so you can see how much each thing costs and where you can buy it.  It’s like window shopping except more fun because there are less people to get in your way, and you don’t have to look at stuff you don’t like.
I wish the website had a different name though.  Polyvore sounds kind of gross somehow.

I bought a dress!

Victorian Maiden has a new series of dress released today – the British Check series.  There’s a one piece, a jumperskirt, and a skirt.  I really like all the pieces!  They all come in red, grey, or yellow tartan. I bought the jumperskirt in grey!
The OP is very demure with a nice long skirt.  I’m not that fond of this colourway because it looks so much like Christmas.
I adored this dress as soon as I saw it months ago.  It seems like I’m fond of underbust jumperskirts!  This will be my second.
I really like the skirt, but it seems to me like the hemlines are creeping upwards ever so slowly!  It’s still beautiful.
I bought the grey jumperskirt through Gosurori Order today.  They’ve been aware of my intentions to buy the dress for weeks now, because it was sold out in reserve when I first contacted them.  We’ve been working together checking the site for updates and finally the dress was released!  And we POUNCED.
I’ve ordered through Gosurori Order before – that’s how I got my VM Adele Bustier dress.  It’s a good fast service, and apparently they’re good at avoiding customs fees (in Australia that’s not a problem).
Because I’ve been so excited about this dress for so long, I’ve even started thinking up ways to wear it.  I went on Polyvore and had a play around with coordinates, using pictures of clothes I already have.  These are two I came up with:
VM Dress Co-Ord 2

(I don’t actually have that jacket, but I’m sure I could find something similar)
and
VM dress Co-ord 1
(I have a similar jacket that would work well, but not quite the same.  Mine has little red spots!)
I’m sure I’ll think of lots of other interesting ways to wear this dress.  It’s being sent to my house in Australia, so it’ll be there when I get home in 2 weeks exactly!  That’s another thing to welcome me home.  I really don’t want to go home!  My new life here is wonderful!
