Now repeating...

As it turns out, you don't pack well when you're in a hurry.  I should have done it the night before but was tired and couldn't be bothered.   I had been at work all day then stopped for a few groceries on the way home, fitted in the photoshoot, packed then ate dinner, packed the car and left at 7.30pm.  Three and a half hours later we arrived at our beach house, unpacked and went to bed.  Phew!  It's making me tired just thinking about it.  All the time we were away I'm like... what the...?  Nothing matched!!  Not surprising, having not put any thought into it.  I had thought to bring hand stitched things but I didn't pack enough of them.  So when we got to Day 19 there was no choice but to wear RTW garments.

What I wore:
Sweater: Purple, worn day 15
Dress:  Maxi
Shoes: Havana Thongs

Thoughts:
Even though I like what I wore, I definitely need to put more thought into my packing.  I could have worn the scarf from day 15 with the maxi dress but it was too warm at 30C for that.

Day 20


What I wore:
Sweater:  New Balance, taken off for the photo
Top:  Handmade, worn previously
Jeans: Target
Shoes: Nike

Thoughts:
None really.  After our 30C day yesterday, today was only 17C, much colder even though the sun came out later in the day.

Day 21

What I wore:
Sweater: Suzanne Grae
Top:  Handmade, worn previously
Pants: Katies
Jewellery:  Equip & Diva
Shoes: Williams the Shoeman

Thoughts:
This was the first time I've worn this top to work and I really liked this outfit. (not that you can see all of it in this photo)  All black with the red top.  My favourite so far.  Just in case you are wondering why I'm eating my dinner, today's photo challenge on the Flickr group was  to be eating/drinking. 

Day 22

What I wore:
Top:  Handmade, worn several times
Skirt:  Katies
Jewellery:  Diva, Equip
Shoes: Spendless

Thoughts:   
Wooaahh!  Put on your shades!  Those white legs are blinding. It was warm today and I decided not to wear tights to work but I think some kind of leg covering would have been better with the dark colours of the skirt and top.

Day 23
 

What I wore:
Top:  Handmade, worn several times
Vest:  Suzanne Grae
Jeans:  Sussan
Boots: Kmart

Thoughts:  
This outfit works well for a nice Spring day.  The top is the same pattern as yesterday's.  It's one that I really like and will definitely make several more.

I'm surprised that I've made it this far.  How 'bout you?

  1. You have lots of me-made tops, I could really learn from this! I can see your weather is even more up and down than ours it, 30C, phew! I can't wait until our weather is consistently warm!

  2. The greatest value is the comfort!! So you overcome this week with many extra bonus to soften hard day's fatigue. Love the red top with the rest of the outfit in black, a great combination.
