Back On Track



Top: I.D.S.
Vest: Target
Skirt: Tartanista
Stockings: Best and Less

Hullo, hullo!

It's been a busy few days, with my Mum and Stepdad visiting as part of their grey nomad travels around Australia. The Sophisticate and I joined them down at the family homestead in Leongatha over the weekend, and a good time was had by all, though as usual I ate myself into a food coma.

I've come back to a very brisk and busy week in Melbourne. Emphasis on the brisk.

I think this has been one of the cooler winters we've had for the last couple of years, and I'm really feeling it. Still, it's just gone July and it'll only get warmer from this point (knock wood).

This vest has really lost its shape (and length!) since I first bought it. Considering the exact same thing happened to the grey Target cardigan that I bought a few months ago I can only conclude that Target knitwear is not designed to be machine-washed and tumble-dried. I shall have to try re-blocking the two pieces when wet next time I wash them.

Dress Me, Darlings!



Long Sleeved Top: I.D.S.
Short Sleeved Top: Barkins
Stockings: Ambra
Brooch: Made By "M"!

Here's a confession: I'm both utterly enamoured, and totally stumped by this skirt.

I've been looking for tops to pair it with for weeks, but apart from black I'm kind of struggling! 

I bought the long-sleeved top that I'm wearing today expressly to wear with this skirt, as the little blue dots matched the main body of skirt perfectly. But even so, it took layering a black sweater over the top to make it work. 

So I'm open to suggestions - how would you wear this skirt? Give me some ideas!

Meanwhile, doesn't the brooch match beautifully? It was made for me by a wonderful reader, M., who handmade it and sent it all the way from the other side of the world. Thanks M., it's adorable and perfect, and I've been getting nice comments on it all day!
