Wardrobe Wednesday!


Morning all! I almost forgot it was Wednesday today, luckily Shane remembered & got a pic before he went to work as my self portraiture is a bit rubbish;)

Dress - a Kilt one I picked up in a Palmy op shop for $3. It was far too big, so I used my super hack sewing skills & took the side seams in! (no unpicking, no measuring, just a couple of rows of stitches! Not perfect, but it stays up now!). I love it - there's something about bright pink lace to make you smile. 

My favourite cardie again - a bonus of it most likely being made from plastic is it dries overnight & I can wear it loads!! 

A wonderful necklace Shane bought me from local shop, Bird of Prey. It's one of my only surviving necklaces at the moment, I have a stash of busted ones (thanks, Jarvis...) in my handbag in little plastic bags, waiting to go and get restrung. 

Hen - Rouge, one of my lovely chooks. Yesterday they had a near death experience when the dog I mentioned in my last post (he must have been reading my blog...) tried to eat them all, yet again. Having had enough of this stupid, horrible dog, I phoned animal control and this time got him an official written warning. So there dog, don't mess with a gal & her chooks. 


Thanks, Clare - Wardrobe Wednesday was a fab idea :) Loving it!! If you're a Wardrobe Wednesday newbie, pop over to Green Valley Crafts & see what it's all about - we'd love you to join in!

  6. Fabulous dress and I'm most envious that it's warm enough to wear one where you are and bare-feet too! Love the photo with the chook - made me smile. Have a happy Wednesday and a great week!

  7. Awwww, lovely!! I am a big fan of pink, and that dress is just gorgeous :) I hear you about the broken necklaces--I too have a number of broken ones and one remaining intact and I refuse to let it get broken!

  8. That dress is such a sweet colour, and it fits you great (got to love it when hack sewing works so perfectly, aye?). The beads and the cardi are cute, too. Loving the whole thing, and how Springy it is : )
