Just a Boy

(I know I'm not a boy. Hopefully you do too. This was just the first song that came on when I pressed shuffle in iTunes. Angus and Julia Stone, FYI. It's lurrrvely.)

 

Oooooooooops. I meant to upload this about a week ago. I've just been busy. Being lazy. What? It's very time-consuming. Witty quips aside, I have actually had (wow!) some semblance of a life over the past couple of weeks - I've got a job (FINALLY) and have been rehearsing super duper hard for a dance concert this weekend. It's all very exciting.


Anyway, if my memory serves me correctly (it was a LONG time ago I wore this afterall) it was a fairly laidback, casual day. So that called for a laidback, casual outfit. Comfortable shorts, slouchy jumper, cute bag - it's all pretty simple but I really like it. This girl loves getting dressed up, but I also rock at casual.

Loot

Oh hey. Didn't see you there. What's that you asked? How did I spend my weekend? Well I'll tell you how. I spent my saturday morning at a totally bitchin' antique fair. Damn straight. Just check out all this fully sick gear I got.

Five days until summer - I don't think I can deny it's going to start getting very warm very soon. Solution: summerise accessories. (Yes, it's a word. I know because I made it up.) Example: scarves can be an all-seasons accessory! Take this faux-silk scarf. Isn't it pretty? Kind of sailor-y.

My mum says these earrings look like golfballs. I think they're more like snowballs. Whatever. THEY FRAME MY FACE, OKAY MUM?

I'm going to wear this ring and pretend it's an ancient family heirloom that's been passed down through dozens of generations of witches and clairvoyants and has magical properties. Or something.

Who took the bump?

(Because Deceptacon by Le Tigre is one of my favourite songs ever and I danced all crazy-like to it while getting dressed today. Hey... is that a... connection? Between the title of a post and its content? Hey there, growth.)

I bought this skirt a few years back when 'bohemian' was all the rage and I don't think it was ever worn to its full potential. Clearly I am much more wise and sagacious now (isn't that the best word ever? I love my thesaurus widget).

A lot of favourites in this outfit: my favourite skirt to twirl in, my favourite shirt, my favourite belt and my favourite heels to do stuff in (they are beyond ridiculously comfortable - I've sprinted to catch trains and drunkenly scrambled around playgrounds in these babies with not a single sore foot the next day - MAGIC).

Connect the dots

(Title result of what I want to do to the mosquito bites covering my legs and thus, as all of my titles seem to be, completely irrelevant to the rest of the post. Consistency!)

A couple of weeks ago my hairdresser proved to be worth every penny I pay her by giving me this goooorgeous ring. The extra 'o's are because I love it just so gosh darn much.

Logic: I like rings. I like roses. I like black. I like chunky (accessories. Don't get too carried away, there.)

It even fits, too! Do you know how hard it is to find a one-size-fits-all ring that actually fits? Do you? I do! And so this marvelous gift earns a post all to its little self. Because it's pretty and I become too attached to inanimate objects, specifically ones I can wear. Weee! (Besides, I can't help it if my hairdresser is wonderful and generous and obviously has terrible taste because she didn't keep it herself.)

B B B Benny hit his head

Because I'm currently obsessing over Ben Folds as I write this. And I'll be obsessing over him every moment ever after I finish writing this too. I love the way he sings 'oh my god' and 'oh-oh oh-oh' and, well, everything...

Sooo for the past week or so everything I've been wearing has been slightly dark, edgy, let's face it - diabolical. While ordinarily that is TOTALLY okay with me today I felt like being a little bit hippy/ gypsy/ happy-go-whatever. Summer is coming, gotta embrace it.

BTDubs this is currently the most summery dress I own and it doesn't even fit me properly. Gots to get my shopping on, homes.

Also I lurve this vest so get ready to see it a LOT in the coming months.
