As you mean to continue

Today was another warmish/coolish day.

Nothing like a kick-pleat!

Jump-start!


Blouse, skirt and belt - Target
Cardigan - Cotton On
Stockings - eBay
Boots - FSW
Bow-front blouses are a joyous thing!
You must forgive my haphazard photography - my tripod will only hold my camera at an angle (too heavy!) and self-timers are what they are ;)

A nod to Spring!

Something happened this year. I began to remember who I am. The person who bought and wore clothes with passion and enjoyment. The person who hunted for the perfect thing, took it in, altered it, made it from scratch. Somewhere, in the early-twenties frenzy of study and depression and work, I forgot about myself. 
One thing I had forgotten was how much I love dresses! I have hardly worn trousers all winter, and now Spring is coming I am feeling an ambivilant mix of joy for the possibilities of spring dresses and sadness that my silly stockings will have to go back in the drawer!
The violets are out!
Cardigan: Cotton On
Necklace and Tunic dress: op-shop
Tights: eBay Seller
Boots: FSW





The wattle is in bud.

A good dress makes me want to spin!




And jump!
