For interest’s sake I want to list the costs of making some of my clothes. So take for example my recent black dress. Fatina Plus pattern – USD$4 2m ponti (50% sale) – AUD$13 Cool so that’s easily quantifiable and given a $ value. A $17 dress! Bargain! But there’s also the matter of time…
We are moving in the next few months and every time I think about culling items in preparation I start to freak out. Today I was going through my wardrobe, pulling out things I don’t wear and I found this dress that I made three years ago. I don’t know why I haven’t worn it…
In an unprecedented move I wore clothes today, thus I can keep up with Fa(t)shion February for the second time ever. Let’s hear it for me! Yeah! We went to breakfast and then to the consumer adventurelands that are Spotlight and Garden City to get some bits and pieces for an ’80s fancy dress birthday…
Happy New Year! This was possibly the lowest key NYE of my adult life, and it was nice to spend it with close friends. I can’t drink at the moment because of my medication so it was super super low key, but I still woke up late this morning (thanks meds that make me feel…
Prising Nick away from his precious car racing on a Sunday is pretty difficult but I was going insane and needed some sunshine. We popped into Flamingo for afternoon tea and I remembered to bring the camera to document its adorableness. Flamingo is a cafe in the laneway behind the Zoo, I highly recommend visiting…
Hey, look at me, I’m totally a plus size catalogue model. Today has been the first day of sunshine in almost a fortnight of rain, and to celebrate Nick and I decided to get out of the house (instead of doing long overdue washing!) The price to pay for such glorious sunshine? Gale force winds.…
I promised I’d do a round up of all the people who posted photos of them wearing the Beth Ditto for Evans polka dot dress and then I promptly forgot about it. Fortunately, in this instance, nothing stays forgotten too long on the internet and when I was showing J of Fatshionable the hanky hem…
I got my parcel of Beth Ditto for Evans stuff on Friday when I was actually at my mother’s preparing for my sister’s wedding! Nick called me up to tell me especially, pretty cheeky or caring husband? HMMM! I tried on my stuff last night and was super excited to take photos so I could…
Wednesday was an Ekka (the Royal Show) holiday for most Briswegians and I wanted to get out of the house for a little while because working at home is great and all but sometimes you want to do stuff outside! We went up to the top of Mt Coot-tha. That’s Brisbane! I wish you could…
Hello and welcome to my whimsified outfit photos take two! Please step into my Monday afternoon consisting of changeable winter weather, awkward poses and coffee with my mother. Allow me to demonstrate the items of clothing I selected for my body to wear today. Recently I’ve been having wardrobe dilemmas, and in years gone by…
