what I'm looking forward to

There just isn't much happening by way of fashion with me right now...Melbourne has been freezing and it's forecast for rain all week, and I haven't been to the gym in ages and I'm feeling slobby and daggy. Urgh. I did however buy this cute skirt from topshop online over the weekend:

new skirt - bring on the warm weather!

I had some money in my paypal account, from doing email surveys (who would think you can actually make money off those!) so treated myself to the skirt.

I also found an old dress of my mum's. It's the classic 80s style high collared, mutton leg sleeved monstrority, but the fabric is nice:



Unfortunately the orange belt is cut exactly to fit the waist of the dress, which must be 24 or 25 inches - in any case it's way too small for me (especially as I haven't been to the gym in two weeks and have gained a bit of weight. ugh). If I knew how to sew, I would cut the skirt out, hem it to knee length (it's mid calf length right now) and put in a flat waistband...or I might just take it to the tailor. In the meantime I'm going to push away the family sized block of dairy milk and hang out the washing. Joy.

Ugh - the cold weather just needs to GO AWAY right now. I think that flowery topshop skirt looks super pretty, hopefully by the time it arrives you'll be skipping around in much warmer, happier times!

I bought that Laura Lees for Topshop skirt a couple of months ago... it's really cute!!

Love the new haircut too!

Thanks also for your recommendation of the Revlon Wine With Everything lipstick... I picked one up and I love it!
