Shopping we go

My uniform of life basically - shirt and shorts to go out anywhere (unless its cold)
I guess I was being strange and wore a long sleeved shirt with frills on the shoulders - Maybe if the shirt had more frills on the sleeve and kept the sleeves short. I recon that would've looked better - especially since it is melting outside.

Out in town ~ 28 Jan 2012

It's a new year ~ the year of the DRAGON! I hope everyone is having fun and are making their dreams come true in what is going to be such an exciting year! Up above is the image of my handbag - VERY colorful and it has room to put my phone AND keys into it. There are only a few clutch bags that can do that (Or I'm buying the wrong ones)

This is Lía~ one of my super stylish girls. She wore tight black jeans, a sparkly baby pink top with these sky high black heels (making her SUPER tall).

What I wore yesterday

My mother laughed at my outfit as I went out to go shopping. She said that I had "angry" shoes on and all you could see were legs! I thought it looked alright - high waisted cream pencil skirt with a white throw over vest. Since the vest was too low to wear by itself (for my taste) I added an undershirt. I also had to use a pin to hold the vest together - I think it looked better done up rather than hanging

What to wear when riding a bike

I decided to use my bike as a main mode of transportation on the weekend and had a little dilema- how can I look casual; Not like I'm going to the gym?

Here's what I wore-I found some old shorts from last summer and a top with mesh cuts through it from Mixed Lollies. I didn't want to wear sneakers (cuz mine are ugly) so I wore the flat, lace up boots I got from Betts. 

Do you know that my feet get real sweaty and smelly if I don't wear socks with closed shoes(hee hee now you do)?  

I had to wear socks but I didn't want those small gym ones because my calves would get super sweaty. I got come long knee high socks from a friend and threw them on with the boots. I did it for comfort at first but when I was out with the girls one of them said that they loved the mix of boots and socks! :) 

So if you're biking - wear for comfort first, comfortable bottoms and a loose top.

What we wore yesterday

This is what I wore after work today - I had to keep in mind that I was taking my little sister for a driving lesson (super scary!) So I threw on tight black jeans, loose cold shoulder top and flat boots to be fully prepared. I must admit that I think I went overboard with the accessories. Headband, red sunnies, long heart necklace  a ring on each finger and bangles - was that too much?

MC looked super cute in her gear~ She had her new favorite leopard print dance pants and thongs. I helped her with the top of her body. I lent her my long feather earrings and white man shirt. There was a massive sale on at Ed Harrys in town so I grabbed a few men's shirts for $5 each - thy're all XL and above but I fixed the shirt.
I made it to fit better at the bottom of the shirt so that it didn't look like a bag over anyone who wears it. Helps you look super relaxed without looking like you've gone out with your pajamas!

What I wore today!

This is what I decided to wear today! I found a corset given to me from Nauvoo (she said it was too big) and these long flowing pants with heels. 

I like this combo because I'm just showing off my shoulders and arms - the flowing pants cover your legs up but can still make the onlooker take notice of them as they might think "are they pants or a long skirt?"

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

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

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.

Dancing at Annies

This is what I wore out on Friday night to Annies ~ Black skinny jeans, a red tank top and a pink, size 22 shirt from Kmart. I know it's REALLY big for me but my friend Nauvoo had an idea on how to make it look better. 

Tie a knot in the back!

So that's what I did (with her help) and I gotta say that it really did look good! Check it out from the back!

What I wore to trabajo today!

Today I went into work with a black skirt, heels and a sea-farer inspired shirt. I just wore the same shirt that I wore to Catherine's lunch in Jan. I think it's ok mixing and matching as long as you don't do a repeat mix in a close space of time. (that's when people might notice)

I found this old bracelet in our garage in our sewing supplies! In all that fabric I found a little bracelet! This is what happens when you clean your home~you find random stuff that you didn't know existed, or you find stuff you were looking for 3 months ago!

What on earth did I wear today?

Today, as I was getting ready for Bible studies - I had to figure out what to wear. I just came back from walking our energetic dog, hungry and thirsty - I kinda looked like a drunk guinea pig. I didn't care what I wore - just as long as I didn't smell too bad at the meeting.

I kept my exercise bottoms of tight 3/4 pants and sneakers. Then I found an old flannel shirt that they had on sale last year at the supermarket; it's the perfect thing! It's big, long, keeps me warm and totally bogan. It felt really good to throw on at the time, but now just hours after the meeting, I'm thinking that I should restrict this shirt's exposure to just the family members at home.

What I wore yesterday

This is what I wore to trabajo today! I found an old pair of gray pants (that sill fitted me) and threw on a striped blue and white top. With just those two - I resembled a pirate. So I found an oversized button up top (with a matching belt) and threw it on. I only buttoned it up to where the belt sat - too much gloomy colors can make you feel gloomy too. I also cuffed the sleeves because they were way to long for my arms.

Yesterday at work and town

I went to work in this outfit yesterday! I tried to be more inventive today by wearing a 'base' of black pants, a white top with an old brown vest I got about 5 years ago. I also added a little jewelry - a choker necklace with a large green pendant hanging. My little sister helped me put the outfit together that morning (brain not functioning)

What I wore yesterday ~ 24 Feb 2011

I wore this out to the Business at Sunset last night. A white top with thin cotton is great in hot weather but you can see right through it! I thought it was ok not to wear an undershirt this time because my bra seemed to compliment the whole outfit. The bra was mainly white with a black lace trim ~ my Nanay even said it was ok. The only thing she asked me to do was to add leggings underneath my skirt. She thought it was too short. I also had some nice high heels from Ellen and I put my hair up in a very kiddy way - half my hair up and on top of my head.
