En garde, finally

More than two months ago, I broke down and fed my lingerie demons again: I ordered the infamous Vargas Dress from Kiss Me Deadly, an item so popular that there was a waiting list for delivery.

After limping home from an especially brutal shaolin class, I saw that it had finally arrived. I'd forgotten about it, what with my mind so cluttered with newish job. No shiny objects at work, but I have to work in HTML nowadays, which has been a rather steep learning curve.

This didn't stop me from trying it on as soon as I got indoors. And while I don't think I look as good as the model , it's very much my style. Kind of retro, kind of black. A bit of lace at the top, but not too much. I'm very pleased with it.

(Some amusing trivia: I still have my mask from my foil fencing years, and it's quite similar to the one she's holding.)
