The low down on THAT White Dress…

June 5, 2011 Paris B 41 Comments

THAT white dress!

Marilyn Monroe was famous and had a famous white dress.

I just have a famous white dress! 😀 Its actually taken on a life and identity of its own since the Citta Bella news eh?! My sis told me she wouldn’t be able to borrow it anymore because its just too memorable LOL!

A lot of you told me how much you liked it (thank you!) and asked where it came from, or if it was supplied by the magazine’s wardrobe.

That dress is actually my own. I bought it from Tang’s in Singapore during one of my visits, under the brand T.S. Not a well known or very expensive brand at all.

I was told to attend the photoshoot in a white dress/outfit and as I didn’t have anything white, I had to go out and get one. The dress on the hanger didn’t quite catch my eye. I walked past it quite a few times before asking to try it on, and even then, I wasn’t quite sure about it.

Still, I got it just in case I didn’t have time to go out and find one (and I didn’t) and the rest as they say is history. Its a simple white cotton dress with a very flared pleated skirt and is an empire cut which is very forgiving. The flowers along the sides are what add some character to the piece.

I have seen some T.S. pieces in Robinsons, The Gardens before this, but I do not know if this dress is there. I like this brand – they do very nice well cut dresses that fit me very well and I own quite a few pieces. Its not expensive at all during a sale (the cheapest I paid was S$29) but it can be a little pricey if not. I’ve forgotten the price of this dress but it was a full price piece that I remember cringing over when I made payment for it.

Tip: If you are a foreigner and shopping at Tangs, Singapore you can get 5% discount off everything by showing your passport. If you are a Tangs member in Malaysia, you can also show your card for a discount and collect rebates on top of existing discounts. If you spend over S$100 make sure to claim your GST refund if travelling by air.

I and my dress thank you so much for liking it. Its certainly a memorable looking dress. I can’t imagine being able to wear it anywhere else after this 😛

Posting for posterity because I like this photo 😆 Also hello! 😜

It’s interesting that when I meet people they always ask me “Are you still blogging?” which tells me they don’t read my blog anymore (cos if they did they’d know I am lol! Weekly generally, but still writing) Yet I don’t blame them because a lot of social credit is placed on one’s Instagram presence. This I fear, is an area I am lacking. I pop in every now and then, share stories that are totally unrelated to what people follow me for, then wonder why they unfollow lol! Other times, spider webs gather in the corners of my unused account. I don’t blame them. Not everyone wants to know what my dogs are up to 😜

Anyway I make no apologies. It’s ok if you follow. It’s ok if you don’t. It’s ok if you’re interested in stuff I do. It’s ok if you’re not. Life goes on for both you and I and ultimately, we just both want it to be happy. So do what makes you happy 😊 I’ll still share my beauty finds and I still blog once a week. I may share what I’m up to from time to time, or I may not. I can tell you that I’m keeping busy and that I have a lot on my plate, none of it glamorous unlike that of most content creators/influencers. It’s too boring for most for me to share here so I’ll just share the good bits - as Instagram intended 😂

But if you want to find me, you’ll know how 😊

The review for the product is somewhere on the blog mywomenstuff.com
Yes I know many of you are terrified of lizards 🦎🫣

But I liked this sunscreen - for the body. Even though it left a white cast. Even though it is hard to remove. It kept my arms protected through a weekend of brutal sun exposure and I survived without burning! ✌🏻
