Dress Pop Couture / Jewellery Temporary:Secretary / Nail Polish 17 Boots (mint choc chip)
I don't think I own a red dress, but I do now thanks to Pop Couture! I find it difficult to find a nice and suitable red dress. Thankfully, Pop Couture sent me this dress and I really like it but I have rolled the sleeves up as it was too long and flappy for me! It's perfect for Chinese New Year for when it is traditional to wear red as the colour represents prosperity, luck and fortune (yeah, I totally just googled this! Gee, I should really know more about the culture my parents come from). Do you own any red dresses? This red one also comes in black and orange but I thought I'd may as well go for red as I already own far too many clothes that are black.
Chinese New Year is tomorrow and traditionally lasts 2 weeks; honouring something different each day of the holidays. Honestly, it is really bad how little I know, I haven't really embraced it. Embarrassingly, I'm on wikipedia right now reading up on it. We're not so traditional here in this household, you see. We don't even go to see the dragon/lion dances anymore. Although, when I was little, the combination of loud drums, firecrackers and the dancing dragon used to scare me and make me scream, then I'd eventually cry hysterically!! I am still a big wimp! No surprises here but I'll be lacking in Chinese New Year photos - I don't think we have any plans - so I probably won't be blogging about it, but I know Winnie from Diamond Canopy won't let me down! I really like her food posts! I trust she'll have some good CNY blog posts in the next week or so!
