On my own planet
As I stare into space
Imagining ideals
And ethics in place

You're beautiful, just as you are, being you

It's my best friend's birthday today. She's one of those friends I don't get to catch up with often, but when we do, we talk for hours.

She amazes me in that she's happy to be herself and has such a fun, understated dress style, a little like this.

Do you have a friend who inspires you?

I came across an amazing costume test shot of little miss Judy on the 'Wizard of Oz' set.
I like the test costume better personally, what do you think?

There's a whole album of costume tests here.

Did you know?
 the original cast tinman, Buddy Ebsen fell ill from inhaling the aluminium dust in his makeup.
When he was replaced by Jack Haley, aluminium paste was substituted instead.

Set Looks in reality

I like to assemble outfits on Polyvore.

It's all well and nice to imagine outfit after outfit, but pulling it off in everyday life is another story.

Here was my planned outfit for the day before I did my hair and makeup, a Zimmerman bluebell dress I hadn't got around to wearing yet.

The front split in the button-up dress and the sheer eyelet made a slip of sorts a requirement.

I thought I'd make it fun by layering underneath and on top.

I love bib and collar dresses with layers.

The shoes weren't brilliant to be honest, but they were my best pair for a walk in the weak early-spring sunshine. I know what I'll be spending my artist's earnings on this month :)

 Buuut.. like we ladies are prone to do, I changed my mind and dress, opting for a printed sheer dress and collar necklace. A little less fancy for mum duty and a visit to the doctors.

'The costume test' teehee.

I liked my outfit, on to the little man's.

A little matchy perhaps but I was just ecstatic he finally wore the cap I made him.

Every day, no matter how menial, is a chance to try something new, to be yourself and to share a day with those special to you.

Special enough for a gingerbread man treat ;)

How do you work your outfits around kids?

How would you pair a sheer dress?

How do I wear that lovely Zimmermann dress? Does it require dying my hair or is it just me?

Thanks for reading, hope you have a beautiful day!

Thank you everyone for following me, Polyvore is so much fun and you're all so welcoming.

Here's a set dear to my heart- Inspired by the heart of Australia, Uluru.
I stumbled across some pictures of indigenous fashion week and came upon the Roopa Pemmaraju line. This fair trade line is designed by indigenous Australians and produced on Indian hand-woven fabric.
The dyes are organic and the designs so earthy and fresh.
What do you think?
