January was a sad time for me. My best friend B left to go live in the USA and I do miss her a lot.The ONLY thing that was good about her departure was she left me a lot of "hand me downs". Something I didn't even have as a kid (being the oldest and biggest!!)She left me a load of pants that I'm going to pick through once the weather isn't so hot that I'm melting into a puddle. What I have loved

Well .. it's Mii!Part of the reason I haven't posted pictures is that I've been busy playing with my new Wii Fit Plus and my EA Sports Active trainer.Most days I get up, try to fit in 20 minutes workout and I then rush about to get ready for work having no time for makeup let alone morning photos.I get home and change into tights and a baggy tshirt for another 40 minutes and oops..

Thankyou to those that keep popping by to check if I've posted anything again!!I haven't forgotten about this blog. I stayed at my parents house into the New Year and then I was back and catching up with a few friends and then going into work for 4 days :( of my holidays.The boy has just gone home after another 2 weeks here and we got to go on a mini break to the coast. Unfortunately I forgot to

I'm as busy as heck at the moment, and The Boy is staying with me.I'm on holidays now and I'm mostly hanging around in my PJ's until it's time to go and since we're going to the pool/beach a lot I'm not putting makeup on or doing much to my hair!!After New Year though I'll probably be back to more regular posting (especially since one thing I'm asking for is a tripod from Santa!).

The end of the school year is near. Things are starting to wind down and today was a special presentation day for some of our students.I was going to save this dress for Christmas but I couldn't wait to wear it any longer. I bought it via Etsy and it took a meer 10 days to be made to my own measurements and arrive on my doorstep from Thailand.I really love this dress, it's comfy and the material

I've heard some recent accounts of the chemicals in sunscreen and why they are bad for us.I put some on under my makeup today as I knew I'd be spending a fair amount of time outdoors (such a perfect day, I wish all of summer was like today!). Somehow I rubbed sunscreen into my eye and a few hours later it's still red. Haa, it may be for sensitive skin, but it's not for sensitive eyes!!This is a

Told you I was bird watching..... Okay well the bird is fake, but I love it just the same! Hee heeHad my hair cut today and it's a bit different to usual. The fact that the front is still like before makes me feel a little safer about it.I went to find a skirt in my wardrobe and discovered this top. It's about 2 sizes too big and 2 inches too short and I thought I'd returned it. I guess the fact

I tried this cardi belted and completely opened like I've seen others do, but I think it just makes me look like I have a wider waist. For me I need something that visually draws the eye in.I started the day like this but by the time I got to work I'd taken the belt off because I kept wondering if it looked silly.

Wow, talk about weather extremes. I had something else ironed for today and woke up to find it was coolish. It got worse during the day and I wish I'd dressed warmer. Thankgoodness for the last minute decision to wear a cardi.I am having a change of roles next year and not going to be doing special educaiton now. I'll be supporting other teachers to implement special programs in their classrooms

I got a surprise text message from my sister on Saturday telling me she was in Sydney. Tickled pink!Luckily I was half decent as I was just about to go out shopping so I was able to join her and a few others for lunch and then factory warehouse shopping.I have worn this dress before but kept it in the cupboard as I wasn't sure what I could do to make it look any different from other times.

I hardly ever turn my fan on, lately I hardly ever turn it off!I was doing some spring cleaning and shopping this weekend and ended up doing a repeat outfit. One for Friday when I ended up going to the movies (thus the cardi) and one for Sunday (yes the dress was washed!) where I really only kept the white shirt til I went shopping, and after that went shirtless around the unit. I still have a

Darling Wife from Plus Sized Mummy lives in a small town near the slightly bigger town that I grew up in (and where the rest of my family still lives!) When I went to visit my parents last week I met up with her. Apart from being a lovely woman she had the best skirt on. Lucky for me she shared where she got it, and I was able to go to the same store and snare one for myself.Apart from the skirt,

I'm going to be back posting again soon, and reading all your blogs. I just spent some time away visiting my parents and while work is going to be busy this week, I should be getting back into my routines soon.This picture was taken on one of the hottest days this year. Yes, I do have two layers, but they were only for when the kids were around. I only had to teach until midday and after that

Nothing much exciting happened today. It's almost the end of the week and I'll visiting mum & dad for the next few days so not sure I'll have much to post for a while.I know it looks a bit like my petticoat is on display, but it was a deliberate thing. I wore a black dress under the blue one and left all the buttons opened to try and show that it wasn't a mistake. Somewhere during the day though

I'm not COMPLETELY going overboard with bird watching, but I do plan to do a bird survey from an environmental website. I did one of these a few years back at school with the kids, and it was very interesting. We've had a lot of construction lately and a lot of trees knocked down, it would be interesting to see if the large variety of birds we spotted has decreased now.Anyway, I felt that my

It's hard to believe that I spent a life time avoiding red and hating HATING seasons where all you seemed to be able to buy in the stores were red & black.Just over a year I started my first experiments with red by purchasing a red pair of shoes and a red headband!!! Now I'm no longer afraid of red and find that Red/Black/White is an old favourite!!! I still am a little unsure of red. I have a

Walk in rich and walk out poor!$20 for an apple core!Kmart your ripoff store!!Well, that's the song I used to sing with my friends when I was about 18. But honestly, I have never hated Kmart because when I was a fat 18 year old, it was the only store around that I could buy things from. I was a bit misguided in my fashion style but Kmart had heaps and HEAPS AND HEAPS of fashionable plus sized

It's amazing all of the Christmas decorations in the stores now though I guess there are only 40 days or so until Christmas so it's not surprising, but it does seem to be coming on us fast.Today I went to another street festival. Plenty of things for sale for people to buy as presents, but I really don't have presents to buy. I've already got The Boy some of his gifts and he'll pick something for

After a one hour talk with my wonderful sister who I love so much, I feel a little less stressed. I do feel for her as most of my parents illnesses fall onto her shoulders and she is running 2 homes as well as dealing with my mother in respite care. Today though news of mum seemed positive. Not that she is going to get better, but that she is happier in her new home.I did have plans to go

Maybe a bit matchy matchy but this is what I wore today. It was a warmish day today, but I knew I'd be spending most of it working on computers in the coldest room in the school. In summer you need a heater and thick socks in there if you stay for more than an hour! By the end of the day I think my eyes matched my cardi, shoes, bangles and legs *LOL*Also, I've decided to post my "Holy Cow".I have

Today we had to do our annual CPR certificate. What a shame I forgot and didn't wear pants for getting down on the ground!! Lucky I didn't wear anything "too fancy" to work today though.

Do you own a two-fer? One of those shirts with a fake inner our outer layer.Target has a history of tshirts with a fake underlayer or lately they have satin type tops with a fake vest overlay.I was surprised to find the other day, though, this coral shrug 2-fer.

Well mine is shocking when it comes to clothes. I forgot all about this shirt. I don't know if I actually loved it anymore until I saw someone else wearing it on their blog!! When I have more time I'll find the blog and link to it!I'm realising so many of my outfits are from budget stores. There isn't a reason I couldn't shop at Myers for example, but I guess places like Kmart, Big W and Target

Well I need one......but today's title is more to do with the fact that this was the best head shot I had! I seemed to cut my head off in most of the pictures today and I didn't have enough time to check them or reshoot. Strangely I mostly only take 6 shots, and mostly they're in frame and I'll find at least one where I'm not making some kind of strange face!!!I went to a meeting today and out

I usually try to take my photos before I head out for the day. In the beginning of the blog I'd do it when I got home.. but I soon realised that it would often be dark when I got home or my makeup would need a touch up ... not to mention my hair!!Today I was going out to lunch with friends.

Being a teacher, I have a dressing up box. But since I stopped being a classroom teacher the dressing up box came home with me and has been in my spare room ever since.It's a little like a time capsual full of hats I've worn to parties, bits & pieces from Hen's nights, Christmas dinners and New Years Eve. I even have 6 pirate suits that were made for a team fund raising event where we raced

Target have relabled their "Options Plus" range to Moda. We've been pretty lucky this season as a new buyer has come to Target and really seems to have improved the range of fashions. There are great maxi dresses there this season and colourful/pretty shirts with extra details as well as cute little shrugs and boho skirts (do I should like a walking ad for Target? haa)I'd actually love it if they

Being 5ft 10 I've found maxi dresses really aren't that maxi on me.When I found this maxi that actually hits the floor at Kmart I had to have it. Plus it's my very favourite shade of blue.I often lament for those "sisters" of mine who are over 6ft tall. It must be impossible for them to find maxi dresses.I met up with 3 friends for a belated birthday lunch for one of my friends. I'm so glad after

I’m back for the time being.Wow, talk about climate change!I went to my sisters house with a couple of pairs of jeans, some tshirts, a denim skirt and a few dresses. Luckily I packed a jacket, my coat and two long sleeved tshirts because the weather was so cold I basically lived in the jeans and layers of tshirts!! My brother-in-law even joked I’d start looking & smelling like my brother soon (

It's been a very stressful few weeks but I appreciate those of you who have kept popping by and leaving posts even though I haven't updated anything lately.Mum isn't doing very well at all, and it's hard walking away from a hospital room knowing that it might be the last time you see her. A positive of her illness is it has bought us all closer. I have to do a lot of travelling to visit her but

I'm a few posts behind. I'll try and post over the next few days when I'm travelling because I'm not sure I'll have any outfits to post that I haven't worn before. Canberra is going to be cold and I'll be in jeans and whatever warm jumper I drag along.This is what I wore to the Marrickville Festival. I had an outfit planned around my maxi dress and imagined myself all boho swanning around in it.I

I haven't really put too much thought into what I've been wearing this week. I was doing a bit of a closet cleanout and this tshirt was hidden behind some jumpers so instead of putting it in my shirt draw I decided to wear it.That's when I was just about to leave they had a recap of Emmy fashion. They put Tracy Pollan into the "not so sure" category for her lime green dress! It seems that "not

I woke up today to see a red glow coming from the sky. My first waking thought was a bushfire (I've seen the sky turn blood red as a child and also later as an adult when I lived in the Blue Mountains). After looking out the window I changed my mind to thinking it was foggy and the sunrise was giving the sky an errie red glow. It wasn't until I turned the news on that I found out that it was

Well.. not sure I could say I have "good hair" but it's much better groomed than a year ago.This is my hair in all it's natural glory. I did do a quick blow dry with the hotel hair drier but the rest is a la natural! (I had to rush to Canberra to see my mum who was taken to hospital. In all my haste to pack and get out of the house I didn't have conditioner, a hair straightener, hair products or

Happy Eid to those who celebrate it.. for those who don't happy days!I often find it strange that I have some Islamic followers. Not strange in "wow that's weird" but that I should be inspirational for those women. I know that being an Islamic woman means a certain amount of modesty, and perhaps what I think of as a fairly conservative style is also modest?It's a two way street though. I often

This is what I wore for work today and you can see how I've swapped out the vest for a jacket so I can wear it out for T* at work's birthday drinks & dinner which I'm just about to head to.T* reminds me a bit of myself, we have a lot in common. We both have red hair, (though mine is hidden under years of colour *LOL*), come from the country, are the school computer geeks, are tall and round and

I had a whole different outfit organised for today. I woke up early to get ready for a meeting and had a skirt & mid season jacket combo ready. I looked outside and saw that it was foggy and I could see the trees blowing around so I guessed it was freezing and hung it back in the cupboard and ironed a long sleeved tee & a vest to wear with a plain navy skirt. I wasn't really happy with the looks

WELL...yes they are actually.Today was like "Compliments from the Kids Day" for me!It started with kindy who told me that they loved the paint on my toes. Next was a reading group who begged to come back on Friday even though their fortnightly rotation is over until next Thursday. I asked them why they wanted to come back and they said it was because I was amusing!! (Hee.. I've been trying to

Well I had to walk like one today anyway!These shoes are comfortable enough, but they sound like a clydesdale clomping along the road unless I take wee dainty lady steps. I don't HAVE to go slowly, just lightly. I can't be bothered with them most times, but if I know I'm going to be doing little walking and all on carpets, then they're a fine enough choice.

Work wasn't so bad today, but perhaps because I've decided that it really IS time to get out of there. I think I probably can get a job fairly easily doing what I do but I won't be doing it as an Assistant Principal.. and that is absolutely fine with me. I think getting back a bit of my life is probably more important than money/prestige. I can actually return to being one of those teachers 8.30-

About a month ago I was raving on about how Winter had finished early and we were having the best Spring weather.Scrap that, I think we've bypassed Spring as well and we've hit Summer about 4 months early!!!! Today is hotter than an average Sydney summer's day but it's great that the shade is still fairly cool so I've been out and about enjoying catching up with 2 different groups of friends for

Haa, it's the moonlight that helped illuminate this photo tonight. Went to the hairdressers and it took a lot longer than it should have. Seriously, when someone walks in off the street and wants a haircut then surely when you both are ready to have your hair cut then they go second (specially if you came in first!!).

Okay, I'm a little guilty of posting my OOTD really late at night, and with time zones and such I'm kinda out of kilter. Here is my Friday's outfit. I think if people can stand the bright leg looks that I may have a place to take my pics for now. This dress was bought the same time and place as Wednesday's dress. Thanks so much everyone for your sweet comments about it. I feel a little better

I've ended up getting ready 20 minutes early today so I'm all ready with my post!I've tried a different place in the house (the one spot where the sun's light actually falls in the apartment in the morning). This highlights my white legs even more .. but you should have seen some of the pics.. it made it look like that place "where the sun don't shine"... was illuminated *LOL* I wore this scarf

I loved this dress so much when I bought it, but I don't know how to wear it other than with a cardi .. or without. It really doesn't have much "scope" when I want to wear something and style it differently each time!! I've actually thought of just giving it up as a lost cause and donating it to charity. What do you think? Does it even look "okay" on me? I'm happy to hear either way. It's

*sigh* I'm ready to give up taking photos unless I can manage to do it at work! I just don't get enough light in the mornings even with a flash and I just don't get home before sunset. I think it may be time to bite the bullet and go back to headless weirdly positioned kitchen photos. At least they didn't seem so blurry.I actually checked my blog at work today and the state of my photos really

I didn't get around to posting this outfit from yesterday as I went out with a couple of girls I used to work with for dinner (Vietnamese food followed by gelato!).I did actually wear my Target heels but as I had a bit of a hike to the station I wore these (new favourite, I can wear them anywhere) wedge heeled sandals and well, they are the ones that made the photo!

With a little help, I think I've found some more functions on my camera to play with. I took these pics pretty much after a day out and there is definitely no direct sunlight in the room after about 11am. I've actually got more exposure in these pics than the ones where there is at least morning light filtering into the room. if anything it's probably over exposed, and I had to tweek it just a

Today someone said I looked very nautical and then one of my favourite people at work (Happy Birthday M!!) turned around and said "more naughty girl than nautical" hee hee.

If anyone can give me suggestions for how my pictures can be better in low light I'd appreciate it!!I have a fairly basic Cannon digital camera that takes great outdoor shots, but indoors seem to be getting worse and worse.I tried changing the exposure today but while I think it's a bit lighter, the blurriness is worse.

Inspired!Today I took inspiration from Passion for Fashion when she posted a coral, grey & white outfit.While my skirt is a fairly dark shade, it is definitely grey!Went to see Beautiful Kate with a friend. It's an Australian film and I was told I'd enjoy it. I actually found it a bit creepy and think my friend had recommended it because I grew up on a farm??? *LOL* otherwise I'm not sure why

I don't think I could ever do a lot of animal print, even if it is on trend at the moment.On the weekend, however, I found this leopard print amoungst some hats in my "dress up box". I think it came around a hat someone had donated, but I really can't remember. I'm certain of one thing though, I didn't buy it.Tomorrow I'm going to try to change the settings on my camera.

I love the people on my blog list who have beautiful streets, gardens and nooks around their house to take photos. I almost need to make up a photo wall for some variety.

I've had this jacket for a while, but never actually taken a picture of it with my outfit.I wore this last night to go out and celebrate a friend's birthday.I like the cut of the Dream Diva dress, but I think it would be better a few inches longer so I could belt it!

I guess if yesterday was dress ups.. today was dress downs!I'm trying to make a pact with myself on more causal days to not wear as much makeup (weird.. cause a year ago I hardly ever wore it!!) or to use the hair straightener (even though I really do only give my hair a few licks and not every day if I can help it).Guess I never really thought of being "overmade" until a little girl at school

This week our school is celebrating "Book Week".The choir also needed to fundraise money to help pay for the bus we used to bring the kids back to school late last night.So we did a "dress up" fundraiser where kids could come out of uniform and pay a "fine" for doing so. Those who wore book character costumes could enter a competition to win a book, one of the tshirts that the choir wore and a

Today was our 600 strong choir performance at the Sydney Opera House.All in all, there were 1000 students, teachers and stage hands all wearing this tshirt with a logo designed by me!!I have to say that when I designed it, the print took up all of an A4 sie paper so I didn't think it would end as small as it has. In reality, instead of enlarging it to a Tshirt size, they have just made my design

I was wandering though Kmart actually looking for a book, when I spotted this tshirt. I always love this sort of pattern, even though I prefer my shirts fairly simple. I thought it would be perfect for my "bring on Spring" attitude. What a shame the weather man let me down (well weather woman .. curse you Fifi Box!) At about 9.30am the wind started to howl.

Target has a load of new things at the moment that are really quiet nice, but I still refuse to spend $45 on a tshirt unless it is something really REALLY special.Yesterday I found a coral tshirt for $45. The colour was great and it had a bit of interest around the neck, but it wasn't really worth that I don't think! I was about to walk out when I found this one for $25 and kind of liked it

I went out last night for my birthday!! It was a month ago, but it took this long to find time to celebrate it with one of my groups of friends. My other group are yet to do something with me. (Between an engagement and 4 birthdays and my holidays in July it was just impossible). We were meant to go for a train trip to the mountains, but constant trackwork put an end to that idea and we went out

I almost lost the battle today to dress in lighter clothing.I went to go outside and it was bleeding cold!!! In the end I grabbed a cardi, and thank goodness it heated up or I'd have had to leave work early just so I wouldn't freeze!! hee heeI'm sure we'll get more winter weather in the next month or so, but for now I'm all for wearing less layers!!Dress: Basque (via Myer)Shirt: TargetTights:

How sad is it when "the little things in life" make you so happy?Today I actually walked through my front gate and noticed there was still plenty of light left in the sky. I seriously did a happy dance! Then when I went to get some food from the fridge to start dinner, I realised that I had a bottle of lemon ice tea that I bought on the weekend and had forgotten about. I seriously made an

Yeah yeah, it's not spring in Australia YET ...But I've decided it's going to be spring as long as I can get away with it.I did wear tights today and my boots, but this dress is pretty light weight and the shrug really is for "show" as opposed to warmth. I'm loving the sunshine. I hope that the summer sun doesn't come, but the winter gloom has past it.Can't it be 24*C everyday?Dress: Big WShrug:

Hmm, I'm not sold on my new haircut.I wanted it a little shorter and I asked for a little lighter.It ended up a lot shorter and a lot darker.I guess I'll know by next week. I think it makes me look a lot older, and I don't know if I want to look a lot older!!

Here's my "official" Travelling Scarf post.I was pretty excited when the scarf turned up as I've been waiting with baited breath for a while for it. Just like I'm sure the person waiting for me to finish with it is.I've had it for about 10 days now which is rather greedy, but it arrived just before my trip to Canberra so I decided I just HAD to take it with me there.I need to make a special

I realise that I have a few photos that I took during my non posting time. I'll resize them over the next few days and post them. I'm off to have my hair cut after later today and if I don't fess up now you'll wonder how my hair got longer again in only a few days *LOL*I'm going to go out later this afternoon so tomorrow you can expect my "official" travelling scarf pic and also my new hair cut.

I'm sure I've said it before.. but breakfast is my favourite time to meet up for a meal.I think it's partly because of the great coffee shops around here and the variety of different breakfast type foods. One of my favourites is the banana, bacon & ricotta french toast with maple syrup on the side. I tend to break it into bacon and ricotta followed by bannana with just a hint of maple syrup.Today

Still has a few weeks to go and Sunday is meant to be 29*C (84F). It's funny that I looked forward to Winter for months and now I am really looking forward to the warmer weather.I think that once upon a time jeans was all I ever wore during the winter months and that made me happy because they were so hassle free.Now that I realise that trousers really aren't the most flattering on me I've been

I saw snow yesterday. The kids were so excited, but not as half excited as I was.I screamed and clapped. Which is strange really, since I've probably seen snow more than they have. I used to live in the mountains for 11 years. I saw snow most years.. not deep deep snow, but enough of it to build a small snowman at least!I've been to the snow a few times as well through my childhood and a couple

I'm back from my trip to Canberra with my students.I took the travelling scarf for a trip too .. but these are the dodgiest photos I think I've taken for a while.Mind you, the one with the suitcase was taken at about 4.30am after only a few hours sleep. The strangely cropped one was taken by an 8 year old and I had to crop the students from the side of the photo as it would breach Child

This is what I wore on my first day back at work. I had a professional development training day so I wore something that looked professional enough but also was comfy for sitting at a desk all day.

Truely I am. I thought I was busy a month ago, but between being sick, going on a vacation, having The Boy staying for 3 weeks and staying late at work I just haven't had the time to either take proper pictures or else I just haven't had the time to post the ones I have taken!!Over the next few days I'll try to post a few of the photos I do have.Thanks to those who made posts or personal comments

I love the print on this dress!I hate that on me it's a top and not a dress. I thought I could get away with wearing it with jeans, but I think it's too long for a top. It's not really possible to take it up due to the pattern on it.I couldn't resist it though. The colours are fabulous and the style is actually fairly flattering. It's just a shame it's not longer.I'm not sure that I really can do

Went to the Aroma Coffee Festival yesterday. It was okay but 15 minute queues to get a small paper cup of coffee for $2 isn't that appealing for me so we left and went to a coffee shop for a proper coffee ($3.00 in a china cup) that was possibly the best coffee I've had for ages.The Boy loves coffee probably more than I do! Whenever he's visiting we ened up having at least 3 cups a day (my usual

I'm still here!! Honest I am.It's just I'm on holidays at the moment and I've pretty much either been in house cleaning clothes (including my favourite apron!! hee hee) or I've been repeating some of my weekend outfits. I honestly need more casual clothes I'm afraid.Here though is a new shirt I got for $20 from Dream Diva (after the sales and a $10 discount). I've also got it in a red. One thing

I bought a 4 piece (slightly used) suit from Ebay for $6. I really just wanted the skirt & jacket. I'm not sure what it is, but I just don't feel I can wear someone elses pants (unless they were a relative!) so those will be making it straight into the charity bag. The suit came with a "mini skirt" that I thought I'd be throwing in the bag as well .. except "mini" actually means knee length...

Today is the beginning of NAIDOC Week. During this week Australians are called to be aware of the role that the Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islanders play in our community and to acknowledge there place as the original spiritual custodians of our land.Traditional Aboriginal colours are seen as black, brown, red, yellow and ochre...the colours of the land!As the school I work at always observes the

How hard is it to photograph some colours so they look anything like they really are? Yesterday's peacock blue top just looks so drab compared to it's real vibrant self.Purple is another of those colours that often ends up looking blue.As sad as it is, this photo probably is the best indicator of how this purple actually looks. I did try to tweak my outfit shot so you could see the purple. It

It's a little hard to see, but this is a navy skirt (and undershirt).I had two stressful meetings yesterday. It was confronting, but supportive all at the same time. In my stressed out, overburdened state, I actually pulled 4 of the giant press studs off of this cardigan without even realising. *LOL*It's not that easy to find straight, plain skirts around.
