It's always handy to have a sketch book in your bag.

Today's costume

Today's costume. 
This is close to my look today, except my retro metallic coat I dug out of the wardrobe looks like a mix of these two Burberrys and is single breasted.

Look at those heels, imagine them with a pointed peep toe-top.. Let's just say my feet looked like something out of a butcher's shop.

How did you learn to walk in high heels?

Close.. but so far..

Family picnic- Beautiful Australia

Today was such a wonderful day.

Australia is a beautiful place, it's nice to pop into a nature reserve park for a barbecue, past the gumtrees with white cockatoos squawking, as the sun sets and cyclists pass on their scenic route in the distance.

Setting up in the last rays of  today's Springtime sun, showing little hands how to peel paperbark and  where wattle flowers are, spying bunnies shying in the darkness on a drive back home towards a bay of  bleeding rainbow skies.

This is pretty much what I wore today for family veggie-burger flipping and enjoying the very best things life gives us in good company.

..Except I made the bag and knitted bracelets myself.

REALITY:

Thanks for stopping by my blog.
Hope you have a lovely day :)

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!
