LITTLE BLACK DRESS: For those who don't like harem pants, look away now.

And seeing as this is the week for confessions, I may own more than one pair of the Grace Jones harem pants that I wore on Day 3 … something more like three. 

These ones don’t come out very often as the colour and finish of the fabric means that you see every uneven skin tone (and maybe dimple) in your upper thighs and butt, and you need something like the LBD to cover up the imperfections. Unlike “real woman” Jennifer Hawkins who was recently brave enough to bare all of her flaws on the front cover of Marie Claire.  But it’s safer that I don’t write too much more on that topic.  Let’s just say that most of us would kill for a crease like the one on her hip!

Today the Grace Joneses are worn higher to look like shorts.  As I hurtle past the 20-week pregnancy mark, I have been told to enjoy what is left of my ankles before they disappear and just become an extension of my lower leg.

Apparently during the later months of pregnancy your ankles and feet can swell to the point where it is necessary to buy new shoes one size larger. A friend of mine’s feet have never returned to their pre-pregnancy size.  Can a size 11 hoof really get any bigger?
