Outfit #136 - Zipper Traps

I don't like zips.  I avoid them when I'm looking for running gear.  I avoid them when I'm buying dresses.  Yet, this blue dress has one up the side.  This morning was the first time I had a problem with it, of course, when I was getting dressed in about 7 minutes.  5 1/2 minutes was spent trying to extricate the delicate fabric of the blouse from the zip, while still breathing.  Makeup was rather sparse, and mascara non-existent.  But I still made the train.

Dress: Hot Options. Blouse: Witchery. Shoes: Pulp. Earrings: made by me. Scarf: Atmosphere (gift).

It's a bit hard to tell from the photo, but these shoes need some serious attention.  The sides are falling apart, so I'm trying to decide whether to give up on them, or to see if I can get them fixed.  Or even do something myself.  Any thoughts? 

As you can probably tell, today's theme was blue.

Outfit #20 - Floaty Blue Debut

I bought this top nearly 3 years ago.  Today was the first time I wore it...

Outfit details:
Singlet: Hot Options. Top: Witchery. Skirt: Sunny Girl.  Shoes: Pulp.  Necklace: op shop. Earrings: silver shop?

Although this top feels incredibly beautiful when on (it's silk), it's rather awkward in terms of being weather-appropriate.  Walking to the station this morning, I was quite chilly, but by the time I'd taught my first student I was feeling quite warm.  I think it might get more wearings in the cooler months as a layer piece, but we'll see.

I almost didn't even count this as an 'outfit', as I only taught 3 kids at school, and changed into jeans as soon as I got home.  And then pajamas for a nap.  But having only 3 kids today means I have more to teach at school tomorrow.  After that, though - holidays!

(Apologies for the poor quality lead photo, again.  And yes, I decided at the last minute to change accessories.  Meanwhile, isn't the 'soundproofing' in my teaching room attractive?!).
