The new little black dress

The little black dress - its a staple in every woman's wardrobe no matter what age. I've owned so many over the years. Majority of them following the same template - short, tight, uncomfortable, cant-bend-over-in-them but they looked shit hot! The last time I wore one of them was on our Sydney holiday in 2012 (where I incidentally got pregnant with our baby). The short, sexy type of little black dress has served me well over the years, but alas we had to part ways after I had said baby. It seems my hips grew wider. So, they sit in the wardrobe in the spare room until I decide I can bear parting ways with them.

I haven't given up on the little black dress though. It's just morphed into a different version. Perhaps it should be called the long black dress instead of the little black dress? I've always had a love of maxi dresses, even when I was wearing the pre-baby sexy little black dress, so its not a huge stretch for me to move from a short black dress to a long one. It also fits in with my new post baby lifestyle choices of wearing thongs everywhere and only shaving my legs every other day (whoops did I just admit that out loud).

Gone are the days of dressing to impress other people, now I dress for comfort and convenience. My new favourite little long black dress is the "Druguay" dress from Witjuti. Its made from organic bamboo which also happens to be my new favourite fabric. Seriously I'd have bamboo everything if I could. Its so soft! I fell in love with it when I got bamboo sheets for bub and I've been searching for bamboo items for myself ever since. Its great for clothing because I can simply wash it, dry it hanging on the line and put it on. No drycleaning required, unlike like my former little black dresses. It also goes great with my favourite accessories - my thongs and my baby!

With all the important accessories

Bamboo is also hypo-allergenic, highly breathable, stretchy and did I mention soft! My favourite part is the feel of the fabric against my skin. And the fact that it glides nicely over the currently-possibly-permanently wider hips I've acquired. Its great for lounging around the house, but also nice enough to wear out. Of course you could dress it up more with the right accessories (but Im kind of attached to mine at the moment).

If you'd like to experience the comfort and oh-so-super-soft feeling of bamboo clothing for yourself, you can get a huge range of men and womens styles at Witjuti. If you use the discount code FMY you'll get 10% off everything and theres free worldwide shipping too!
