Polka dots and Pinocchio

Thursdays outfit made me feel like a school girl.

I think it was a combination of the colour pallet, the jacket and shoe combination and long socks. I think it’s strange that something that looks nothing like a school uniform can make me feel this way.

Also, all the school uniforms that I ever wore never made me feel this adorable.

Apart from my outfit, thursday was kind of a bleh day. I managed to loose my breakfast to the train floor, which left me hangry during my art class (we were presenting some artworks for progress marking. I was pretty happy with the art I presented, but the stuff I said about the works were not too great) , then in the afternoon the train was running half an hour late, which meant calling into work late.

It wasn’t all bad though. I got to have lunch with the Tim who is the bassist in my band, and Honae his wonderful and brilliant girlfriend :3. The train being late meant I was able to catch up with my friend Adam, which was lovely.

Oh well, shitty days are significantly less shitty when there’s lace on your skirt.

Hard Style.

Today I learned that I need to start checking the weather before leaving my house instead of making a judgement based on how warm it’s been recently. It was really warm in the sun/ when the wind wasn’t blowing, but unfortunately for me the wind barely let up, and that windy was icyyyyyy!

 

As far as today’s outfit is concerned, I wore two pieces which I find incredibly difficult to style; the blazer and the shoes. Both pieces cause me trouble because of the colour.

At first glance the blazer appears to be red and white striped. The “red” in the blazer is not actually a red. It’s a very dark dusty pink. This makes it incredibly hard to match with things in my wardrobe.

I have a similar problem with the shoes. The dominant colour in the shoes is a magenta.

I’m quite happy with my outfit today, although, if I was going to wear it again, I’d opt for tights that are slightly less red.

Remember how I had that sewing binge? Welp, this was the other garment I made. I used this super cute Pinocchio print (Because who doesn’t love Pinocchio!?)

Blazer: Ojay, Cardigan: Review, Shirt: Target, Belt: Alannah Hill, Skort: Home made, Tights: Ebay, Shoes: Thrifted.

I’m really digging skorts at the moment. It’s everything I love about skirts without all of the sads I have when the wind gets strong in Newcastle (Seriously though, the wind does not play nicely with my clothes, meaning I either hold down my skirt, or my nickers are shown to the world 😦 )

Also, see that bow I’ve pinned onto my skort? I’ve been looking for that bow for about 5 months now, and I finally found it! 😀 So many happy’s!

So yeah, sewing all the things! I just hope I can keep sewing after semester gets busy.

I had a day off today. It was made of happy fun times. These fun times included staying in bed till 11:00 and sewing my heart out.

 

 

Cardigan: Gifted, Shirt: Cotton on, Belt: Alannah Hill, Skorts: Home made, Tights: Sportsgirl, Shoes: Whitners.

I had two firsts with my sewing escapade today. 1) I’ve never sewn successfully with such drapey fabric. 2) I’ve never sewn such a drapey item of clothing.

The fabric I used is adorable , but it was an absolute nightmare to cut/sew. Everytime you go to cut/make a marking with chalk, the fabric slides all over the place. I ended up pinning my pattern to the fabric then cutting around it (My tailors chalk was next to useless 😦 )

Here’s a closeup of the fabric:

ALLL THE KITTIES

All in all, I think this way a day off well spent.
