Outfit #13 - I'm in the Money

 Today, I was cold for the first time in a while.  The first time this year when I wished I'd worn stockings and packed a cardigan or something.  Of course, we are in an almost-cyclone (which made tonight's run interesting).

Outfit details:
Dress (worn as a skirt): not sure (op shop).  Shirt: Miss Shop (from Jeannie).  Belt: Target.  Shoes: Pulp.  Owl earrings: Mombasa.


 I bought this dress on a rainy day last December.  I haven't had much luck at the op shop at Toowong, but a friend has found some fantastic things.  A sign out the front tempted us with 50% off (selected items), so inside we went.  A brown velvet dress (yet to be worn - we decided I'd buy it and we'd work out how to style it later), a long green maxi dress, and this green dress were my purchases.  But then I had problems with this green dress.  It feels really nice when on, but the top sits really oddly.  I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it, and nearly put it in my giveaway pile - then I saw someone wearing a shirt over a dress.  Voila!  Styling success.  Belt required at waist, otherwise I look like a bag, but not a waste of a dress. 



The print of the dress is all money notes.  At first I thought it was US dollars, but on closer inspection it appears to be from all over the world.  Hence my feeling of being in the money... 

Outfit #9 - Creamy Floral with Black

2 New Things in this outfit.  One to be repeated... One if necessary, but with caution.

Outfit:
Tank: Ambra.  Belt: Target.  Skirt: Jeanswest.  Shoes: Pulp.  Necklace: op shop.  Earrings: some silver shop, somewhere.

Good new thing:  a ribbon in my hair.  Just wrapped around the bun, not even in a bow, but there.  It's really hard to take a photo of my own hair.

Not so good new thing: belt around hips not with belt loops.  Really annoying.  I kept pulling it all day, and whenever I bent to help a grade 3 it landed around my waist. 

These shoes are really old.  Well, in the last few years, anyway.  But old enough that the inner sole is starting to come adrift.  Not many more wearings left in them I think.  I've been running a lot lately and wanted to keep my legs happy, but there's very little support in these flats so maybe not such a great choice. 


This is one of my new op shop necklaces from the start of this month.  I can't wear it when playing properly, but for being a Helper and for easy lessons I love the weight of it around my neck. 

Outfit #6

This is a very short skirt, for me.  If it only just reaches my knees when I'm standing, then there are a few more inches of leg visible when I'm seated.

1 - This outfit is almost entirely recycled.  I think I'm yet to wear an actual 100% recycled outfit (there have been plans, but the weather sometimes gets in the way of good plans).

2 - I'm wearing a belt.  Possibly for the first time in more than... ummm... 6 years?  A long while, anyway.

Shirt: Miss Shop (from Jeannie).  Skirt:  Temt (Lifeline West End).  Belt: gift.  Shoes:  Pulp.  Earrings: Mombasa - the owl earrings from a couple of weeks ago.  My current favourites, I think.
