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 #117 - Not A Theme

If you were paying attention last week, you may have noticed I was wearing stripes every day.  This is the closest I've come to a theme in my outfits.  This week it might have looked like I was going for a theme, with neutral skirts and blue tops.  But today I changed it up.  Ha.
Skirt: Sinerji (swap).  Shirt: Lily White (op shop).  Shoes: Target.  Earrings: from Salamanca Market.
I don't count this as a successful outfit.  Most of the time (that is, until I just gave up), my shirt was behaving like that of a rebellious schoolboy.  Half-untucked and slouchy.
The Salamanca Markets are fabulous for finds like these earrings, handmade by the stall-holder, ceramic and each one unique.

Outfit #38 - The Swapped Skirt

Outfit details:
Skirt: Sinerji (swap).  Singlet: Dotti.  Tshirt: Ambra organic cotton.  Shoes: Hot Options.  Earrings: Mombasa.

When asked what was my favourite item of recycled clothing earlier this year, this skirt was it.  I love it.  Nearly every time I wear it, there is a positive comment from someone - the embroidery on the front is so peaceful.  I scored it at a swap day - because I was considered a tall person (win!!).  It is quite loose and comfy.  And as its label claims it's sustainable and ethical I get warm fuzzies whenever I even look at it.  Considering the number of wearings last year I was shocked that I waited until now to wear it to school this year. 

Last Wednesday a student asked for a photo of my earrings.  The same student was admiring this skirt and then saw the owl earrings - and asked for a photo of these earrings too.  I don't think there was a particular reason this time, just that she likes that they are owls.  Yet another 10-yr-old told me they were, like, almost like 3D...sooo cool...
