Outfit #141 - Feeling Run Over

For most of today, I've been feeling run over, as Ziva would say. 

Skirt: Sinerji (via swap). Tank: Now. Top: Ambra. Boots: Sandler. Earrings: from Kuranda Markets. Stockings: ?

Yes, I love these boots.  And I see now that their colour is hardly visible, but they're royal blue.  And the tank is teal, although not visible either. 

And yes, I'm going for comfort in this week's outfits.  Although the weather is not as cold as expected, which is ruining my plans.

Outfit #126 - Black Caviar

I'm not really a horse-racing person.  At all.  Not really having any idea what I would wear today, I kept thinking of the horse top.  And then yesterday, it was announced that Black Caviar was retiring. 

Top: Hot Options. Skirt: Sunny Girl (op shop). Leggings: Ambra. Shoes: Pulp. Earrings: from Kuranda. Pendant: gift.

I also wore my black Jeanswest cardigan and graduated grey/blue scarf on the way to work.  25C when I was coming home at lunch time though. 

I'm surprised by how not-grey the leggings look in photos.  They're quite grey.  They also gave me a slightly crazy lady feel. 

These earrings always make me feel special. Unfortunately they're really hard to capture.  No-one wants to see me up that close. 

Outfit #120 - Newspaper

I've been saving this bad joke for ages.  You know - what's black and white and red all over.  A newspaper.  Haha.

Dress (as a shirt): Sunny Girl (from Jeannie).  Skirt: Hot Options.  Singlet: Ambra.  Cardigan: Jeanswest.  Shoes: Target. Earrings: from Kuranda Markets, FNQ.

This was really a swapped-out outfit.  Originally, my plan was to wear the necklace I actually wore on Tuesday.  But I didn't remember to pick it up before I left.  I was also going to wear a new pair of earrings, but I felt the red was more appropriate. 

I was going to wear heels, but the thought of wearing them all around the school for junior kids... Just, no.  And I expected to have a cardigan on for a little bit, but not the whole day.  The camera caught me by surprise for the non-cardigan shot and I laughed when I saw it.

Outfit #37 - Go Queensland!

Outfit details:
Skirt: Portmans.  Singlet: Ice.  White top: Ambra bamboo.  Red top: Grab denim (from Jeannie).  Jacket: Sportsgirl (also from Jeannie).  Shoes: Pulp.  Earrings: from Kuranda Markets.

On Monday, I was trying to work out outfits for this week.  Lacking any real inspiration, I decided to wear an outfit I've worn several times a year since I started at this school 5 years ago.  (Can you see why I'm aiming for a different outfit every school day this year?!).  However, last night I realised that outfit would be a mistake today.  Today is the first State of Origin game of the year.  I'm a Queenslander.  Blue (featuring prominently in the original outfit for today) is the colour of New South Wales.  Last night, then, I had a quick look in the wardrobe, and found some red options.  I included a red singlet just in case it warmed up so much that I needed to ditch the outer layer (unnecessarily), and wore the appropriately maroon jacket.  I wouldn't normally have paired red with maroon but it seems to have come out all right.

This skirt intrigues me.  I think of it as my blue skirt, but it usually comes up grey when paired with anything else blue, or red, or white.  Maybe it's really grey after all.

I eventually worked out that the shoes don't need extra holes in the straps.  They need new elastics holding the buckles in place.  I felt so smart when I realised this (it's the little things, you know).  The earrings had me thinking of holidays all day.  Only 4 more weeks...  I've been dreaming of cold, mountainous, foggy places.  I wonder what will pan out.
