I was quite pleased with myself for pairing this dipped hem dress (that you’ve probably seen before) with my maxi skirt and cowboy boots! This winter will be my Stevie Nicks season so I am getting inspired by 80s fashion to warm up through autumn. My Mum and aunty used to wear long tops with…

In which the Perkinseses’ wear clothes.
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…
Green and orange mango trees.
Black rules my wardrobe. I’ve ended up wearing it for the last decade because that’s what plus size clothes are available in over here in Australia. The other week I walked through Target and there were four double racks of black pants in the plus size section. That is frankly ridiculous. For a long time…
Paisley maxi.
I’ve been sewing this weekend! I made a pair of comfy dropped seat pants as well as this red billowing maxi skirt. It’s so comfortable! If you want to sew a similar skirt, grab a piece of fabric doubled over to the length of your choice and about 2 times wider than your waist measurement.…
Pizza partying.
Last night I attended a pizza party at Vespa for a dear friend’s 30th birthday! Super exciting! But more exciting than pizza were the crispy polenta pieces. SO good, if you are near a Vespa Pizza you need to try them. I bought this dress from Yours Clothing a few weeks ago because I’ve wanted…
Stretching my batwings.
Two things! Two posts in one day means you’re very special and I suck at being a Proper Blogger who metes out content by scheduling posts; and yes I’m wearing a lot of black lately. It’s just how I’m feeling at this time of doubt, uncertainty and frustration. This tunic has sheer purple wings that…
Back in black with strong brows.
Last night I went to Nick’s Dad and aunt’s 60th birthday party. They are twins, and after learning of all the twins in Nick’s family I am even more unsure of having kids. It’s a big job just having one kid at a time, eep. But yes, I wore clothes and got Nick to document…
Puppies and brollies.
This is actually what I wore yesterday but I discovered my site had been hacked so Nick spent hours figuring out how to unhack it and today I’ve been trying to have a nice relaxing Sunday. So here we are, a late ootd :D I’m sorry for any weird business with the blog over the…
Purple and blue for a windy day.
While the more in-depth content is a bit light at the moment, please enjoy another outfit photo. This dress is the one I bought from Torrid the other month, snapped up while it was on sale! Torrid’s shipping to Australia is disturbingly and consistently expensive so I was glad to go in on a group…
Loungeroom picnic.
A friend invited me to her place for tea and nibbles today and we ended up on floor cushions eating yummy peanut butter biscuits, grapes and egg sandwiches. Lovely. I also picked up a Torrid dress that I ordered through Mel! Shipping to Australia is ridiculous so we have to resort to group orders in…
