A Friend In "Fashion" Need, Is A Friend Indeed......

....I'm pretty sure that's how the famous saying goes! 

One of the best things about having a best friend who is roughly the same size as you is that you basically double your wardrobe! Whenever we’re going out we tend to delve into each others clothes and shoe collections to jazz up an outfit or go for something that is completely new to us! It’s especially handy when you have a special occasion to dress for but nothing in your wardrobe that works! Well, part of that statement is true…..it’s possible that I just fancied wearing something I hadn't worn before!!

Last week I went to a charity ball in aid of Breast Cancer Research. It was a great night, but I was really worried about what I would wear. I have loads of posh dresses in the wardrobe but none of them quite fitted the bill for this particular night. Being me, I only realised the night before and with me working all day on the day of the event, I was totally out of time. With a few cocktails in my system, I hot footed it out of the bar and in to Orla’s car. It was one of those phone calls that reminds me of the quote;

“What's the plan? Are you planning a murder? A nuclear attack? Whatever it is I'm on board, I'm sure you have a good reason.” 

I'm pretty certain that she was in the car before I'd even explained why! Also note how good she is to me.....didn’t even make me get the bus! 

 The many thoughtful faces of Orla – debating over which dress would be best!

When we got to her house, she had spread all of her posh dresses out on the bed ready for me to try on. I’d like to mention at this point that Orla received the phone call from me at around about 9.30pm. By 10pm I was three dresses in and causing slight havoc in her previously sleepy/quiet little house! (Which reminds me, I should probably send a bottle of wine to her parents)!  Despite being a little worse for wear, I managed to find the perfect dress for the event and had a brilliant night!
The cherry on top of the whole thing is that the charity raised over £3000! Win win all round!

The winning dress….the drunk face #cringe
