My style.

So, i was unpacking new stock at work the other day and thinking about the things i would wear and the ones you wouldn't catch me dead in.........and then i suddenly got to wondering-
If i dropped dead tomorrow, what would they dress me in to bury???
I know, crazy, but it's a valid point don't you think? People often discuss the songs they want played at their funeral, but do they ever discuss their outfit?

So what's my "style"?

I wear skinny jeans almost everyday. Jeans are my go to (lucky i work in a jeans store).

I rarely do patterns or florals.

I like stripes.

I like neutral and earthy colours. I don't do brights.

I like boots and ballet flats.

I always wear accessories - earrings, scarves, necklaces and rings.

I love cardis and blazers.

I don't think i'll ever wear anything with animal print.

l have a fondness for lace, ruffles and frilly bits.

I love long skirts and maxi dresses.

I love trawling pinterest and adding clothes and outfits to my "this is mumma's style" board

and i love helping customers at work find a perfect outfit for them.

I guess you could call me a fashion victim - always have been, always will be.
So, what's your style? The one clothing item you can't live without? What would you like to be buried in?

Winter Sun.

We had rain here early last week, a lot of rain. You may have heard about the floods here in Gippsland on the news.

So on glorious days like today, when the sun is shining in winter, we excitedly head outside and hang our washing on the clothes line and make the most of those delicious rays.

And begin to count down the days to summer.

What i am doing...........In June.

Hello. I'm sorry this place has been very neglected the last few months, i've been in a massive blogging funk (like this lady here, hopefully her's is not as bad as mine - i'd have withdrawls if she didn't post). I've started many posts and left them waiting in my drafts........ So i thought perhaps the best way to get back into it was with one of my fun "What i am doing" post - i always enjoy writing these! By the way, it's June?!  Where is 2012 going?
