ANZAC DAY 2011

ANZAC Day is very important to us Aussies~And most of the hardcore Aussies go to the Dawn Service. I went to the dawn service and learnt from last year that it is freezing at 5:30 in the morning. I grabbed my old blue jeans, 3/4 sleeved shirt, a sleeveless sports jumper with a hood and a pink shawl with tassels. I realized that my arms and fingers might fall off so I put on white gloves and threw on my arm warmers over them. THAT really keeps ur fingers warm!

What I wore today!

Today I went back in time to circa 1953 - I was just thinking about the movie Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and thought of using that as my inspiration for what I should wear today. From my little wardrobe I found a 3/4 blue sleeved shirt, a brown belt and an old white skirt my Nanay got me. The while skirt I had hiding in the back because I didn't use it. I remember when she first got me that skirt, I though it was hideous. Mainly because of its abnormal length and height of where it sat. But despite that, I'm glad my nanay got it for me and that I kept it! So maybe some of the stuff my nanay gets me does look good - I just con't see it

Ellen and Taps

I went shopping for bags today at Ellen's work and needed to take a picture of her outfit~I thought it was very cute! It's only when I was hanging with her that evening that I found out how she constructed it. She had a small black with spaghetti straps jumpsuit on. And then she threw on a loose, black and white stripe cardigan! I like it!

What I wore yesterday ~ 8 Avril 2011

Ok, this outfit I had a lot of fun making. Remember that big oversized shirt I wore out to Annies'? I had that on in the house and didn't want to change my clothes that much. So, I grabbed the train of cloth from the back of the shirt and threw it over my left shoulder. I thought it looked cool so I used a pin to hold it there - Kinda mix of cold shoulder and a one shoulder dress idea. I then threw on a pink undershirt and a high waist leopard/flower print skirt

Pinoy Todd Mall ~ 3 Avril 2011

The Filipino people were dominating the Todd Mall on Sunday with dance and food! It was more looking at the traditional and historical look at the Philippines rather than today - They had many traditional dances from all over! I really liked the dance from Pangasinan - they were dancing on a skinny bench! (sorry didn't get any vids of the dance - too busy biting my nails)

I loved all of the traditional outfits that the kids wore! You can just see all the variety of colors and styles all from a little group of islands! 

Out in Town ~ 2 April 2011

When I went out into town on Saturday night I must admit that I didn't take that many fashion pictures (I did take a lot they're just on fb). I like these earrings ~ they were worn by a friend of a friend. Small earrings are for work! And if you wanted to see the shoes from that night ~ just go to Shots Of Shoes!

What I wore to the Youth Hub Concert

Friday the 1st of Avril was the start date of Youth Week in Australia - a whole week of activities  for 'young people'. I'm 19 and I feel real old. So I thought that if I dressed more simple than I might blend in. I wore a white and blue dress with elastic and a tie at my waist. I also threw on my sisters long vest over the outfit to give it more layers - and something to cover my shoulders. 

I got a little fidgety at Chior practice and decided to do some hand art with the texters and pens I had available~ I honestly was thinking of cake decorations when I made this pattern.

DIY hole T Shirt

I went a little spaz during the week because I needed something new but relaxed in my wardrobe without spending any money. 

How can you do that? I think I found the solution - Cutting up and old top to make it look better and more entertaining than having it as another sleepwear shirt.
