I remember this day, but I don't remember what we were doing. We went shopping and probably ate pancakes. It was cold and rainy; a lazy autumn day off. What I wouldn't give for one of those now!
I still have this knitted sweater dress, but I remember being disappointed with it. TessChristine styled it in a Get the Look video ages ago, and it looked fantastic on her. I looked up literally the exact same item from BooHoo.com, and it just looked frumpy on me. It's also a little scratchy, whereas hers looked soft and cosy (I have very sensitive skin prone to eczema though, so could easily just be me). I loved the idea of being able to pull off a sweater dress like she does, but maybe it just doesn't suit my body type. Sad. Turquoise cable knit circle scarf was from Glassons. Black tights are Voodoo at Myer. Brown riding boots were bought in a BuyInvite sale. And the brown Oxford messenger is from Typo - even though I got this one years ago, they're still available! x
I'm pretty sure I wore this to a weekend hanging out at my oldest pal's place in Geelong, but it's getting hard to remember! Look how long and damaged my hair was then - cringe. It's so hard for me to grow my hair out because it's slow to grow, and once it reaches this terminal length it just gets ratty. I chopped it all off in 2016, and now it's short and healthy. I don't even really miss my long hair, surprisingly. I think short hair is cute and fun. :)
This bodysuit is a swim from BlackMilk; I got it in an eBay auction. Denim skater skirt is from Boohoo. Sandals were in a Rubi Shoes sale. x
Honey, I baked. No really, I did. Last Sunday was the day before boyfie's birthday, and his favourite kind of cake is cheesecake, so it's become a sort of tradition that I bake him a lemon cheesecake for his birthday every year. I'm not complaining; it's ludicrously easy to make. And nobody complains about the same cake every year, because it's damned delicious. It was a pretty crazy day, though, for a Sunday. My Sundays never turn out to be lazy Sundays, like everyone else's. I dashed to Glen Waverley in the morning, braving the Chinese New Year crowds (regretful decision) to pick up an assortment of Japanese sweets for boyfie's birthday, then an old friend from high school (who loves the beach and is a dedicated dancer) visited while I baked the cake. We exchanged Christmas presents - it had been that long since we caught up. And then I had to run to the shops for coffee with my potential room mate. We had a scuffle that needed sorting out. It appears to be sorted. We were supposed to be having a Pathfinder sesh with friends in the evening but luckily that was cancelled, so I could put the finishing touches on boyfie's birthday plans, and relax a little.
This cute plaid dress is from Boohoo.com and was cheap as. It gets quite a few compliments, probably because it's pretty unusual. It kind of has a Clueless vibe to it; despite its 60s babydoll shift cut, the pastel plaid schoolgirl pattern reminds me of the 90s. It's not a great choice for hot summery days, because the fabric doesn't breathe too well and you end up a bit muggy. But it looks nice and bright in summer. White rip-off vans are el cheapo from K-Mart. x
