vesticle

oohh myy... so tired.
So, had the kids today and the in laws. Went to parkmore and had coffee with mum and dad. Stayed with them while others went home and fed my shopping obession so I didn't need to go home. te he he. spent lotsa moolah. bought;
the pinky/blush/rose blouse
black 3/4 sleeve top with white lace on neckline
grey striped long sleeved tee for husband (for his bday next month, gift 1)
a new dinner set
a new floor lamp for lounge
a new leopard print doonah set
2 new dog beds
hmm. could have done without it all. wanted it all but.
ALSO- the makeup shop there has 3 juicy tubes in a pack for $39.95- I AM buying this if I have bad news this week. It will be my pick me up pressie.
Savers monday night- 50% off open till 9pm- yes yes and yes.
am totally obsessed with harem pants at the mo. Sussans have them! Sussans are priccy!! when did this happen? Where was I?
Today wasn't too hot, I have been waiting for a day like today- and lookit, I was uninspired and had no idea what to wear- go figure. This pic was taken almost at the end of the day.. so no full lengthy and this was the only one I took that looked semi ok.
I do love my vesty but. I wanna wear it every day and find new ways to wear it he he.

ok me thinks a lie down with a sweet valley high book will be noice.

OK
I know I shouldn't
But I am
What am I?
Gnawing on a KFC tower burgo... mmmm.. It's ok, I got pepsi max! ha ha.

So I went shopping last night. To Parkmore. had high hopes. They were kinda filled. I went to Kmart and laybyed my sensual gray flannel coat, and also laybyed the grey stripey cardi I posted a pic of yesterday- it was very sensual and the size 18 was quite roomy! I also bought the knit waistcoat vest I had had my eye on as they had 20% off all clothes.. I then saw this blush/rose/pink loose blousey top... really simple, like you wouldn't really look twice at it.. but when it was on it looked awesome. I have ummed and ahhed but I am going to go back there tomorrow and buy it, i think!! It was only like $20 odd dollars.
I then went and put some moolah on my boots and leggings layby!
Crossroads has NOTHING. Nothing really special anyway.
Best+less was very mah.

I am wearing my new vest today.. i love it. I love the racer back style of it. I think after all this time I may have found the perfect vest. About time!
These pics don't really do me justice today I don't think! I took the pics again in the work bathroom as husband left early for work- like before 7am! (I was super impressed) I will only take photos in the bathroom here if it is an emergency.. its hard to see the pants I am wearing. They are the new textured leggings I thrifted a few weeks back. They are pretty much 3/4 length and I am wearing them with the only shoes i have worn for the past week- my brown gladiators. My hair looks messy in the pics and my makeup doesnt look as good as it does IRL.

with a trained eye on the door again...

knit waistcoat- kmart

paisley blouse- rosanna

from a distance...


extreme close up.. my new thrifted beads.. do i have a crazed look in ONE of my eyes? lol

Yeah so above I am wearing my new beads as well.. They were realllly long and I cut the strand and retied. I think I now made it too short. Ohh wellll....

My weekend will now be spent;

having the kids AND the inlaws. You KNOW how I feel about this

working saturday night. see above

having coffee with mum tomorrow.. and the inlaws and the kids and the husband. You KNOW how my mum feels about this. lol

doing a LITTLE shopping tomorrow and buying Roger and Mooch a new doggy bed and myself that blush blouse! YAY!

Hi there sleepy eyes

I am sleepy.
So sleepy
6am- alarm goes off
6:30am-decide to maybe get up
6:40am- get on the internet with some nutella for breakfast. Mmm..
6:55am- decide a shower would probably be a good idea
7:10am- Start drying hair
7:20am- start applying makeup
7:30am- start getting dressed. Is going to be 30 degrees they reckon. Put on skirt and top. Faded jeans and top. Discard all for current ensemble
7:50am- pack bag, do hair
8:00am- officially running late
MAH! SO TIRED!
I would have given anything to have stayed in bed this morning. Poo.
I hope today flies. Pfft. I doubt it. its only 10:30am now! 7 hours left OMG.
I want to go shopping.
The jacket/coat thingie I was after from kmart is now 20% off! I knew it would be worthwhile if I held out for a sale. Wackadoooo. I am heading there tonight for a layby and to pay some moolah on my big w booties layby. I am quite into layby at the mo. Below is the checked jacket I want- looks better on me. I also like the striped cardi below that again... hmm..

I have ditched the fake tan as seen below lol.. itas too much effort.. i'm just going to rock a pale look.

I wasn't 100% on this outfit and- now this is kinda embarrassing- i couldnt find any good support umm undies before I left today and this top is loose but also streamlined and quite thin so a smooth line underneath is kinda crucial. Soo.. I feel kinda potsy.

I do like this outfit now but. I like the pale florals and that.. I always feel so comfortable in black but i like the way my skin tone looks in paler colours and tones.

When this cardi dies, I will be devastated.

Do you like my work bathroom btw? lol.

My eyes are trained on the door in the photo below as I thought I heard someone come into the bathroom, ha ha.

Suprising...

Last night was great.
I cleaned heaps and wasn't sad. I love cleaning.
This morning I slept in. I woke up at 7:30am AHH! 30 minutes is soo not enough time. I gave myself 45 mins, made my husband drive me, and got it sorted :-) go me. Was suprised. And I like my outfit and didn't feel rushed and think I look ok!

Work is still quiet. Kinda scary.
I am in semi good spirits today.

Natalie and I have decided to organise easter this year at Cape Shank for the family like we used to. After Mutti (my grandmother) passed away on easter about 7 years ago, we kinda stopped going, but we really want to go again. It is so so so much fun. The BBQ, the cold weather, the chocolate, the kids, the pine needles, playing ball in the field, walking down to the lookout near the beach, ohhh i love it.

Marg at work will be leaving soon to have a baby so I am going to help arrange a really cute baby shower thingy. I am thinking, pink cupcakes (she knows she is having a girl) a morning tea and some pressies is in order.

I love projects.

In other news, I am loving my leopard print leggings today. Perfect for a 22 degree day- YOU HEARD ME!
38 on friday but- gross.
I have had these leggings since I was maybe 13? My mum bought them for me, ha ha. I then gave them back to her because I thought they were "daggy"
I stole them off her again maybe 2 years ago? I love them.

In other, other news... i haven't spoken to one certain semi toxic friend in almost a week.
In other, other, other news.. do you know how certain places in books you relate to actual places? Does anyone else do that or only me? Like I remember Sweet valley High, I always pictured the wakefield house as my aunty Liz's house in Ullara Crt. and the Valley Mall was always Karingal Hub, ha ha. Funny.

burnt australian summer grass :(

Note- I am not going to talk about the events of today because talk will do nothing except force me to rehash. I will instead repress and talk incessantly about other things. Mmm K?

So today we went to ballarat. I had the day off.
And fark me, we do live in a sunburnt country! Check out these pics of dryness! Starting with my front lawn! This summer has seriously been HELL and friday we are set for another scorching heat wave. Yaarrkkk..

Somewhere on the way to ballarat.. umm ring road? western hwy? near melton perhaps?

Afterwards I did a little shoppin' in 'rat. I went to the local Big W coz I like to see if things are the same. I love to compare shops like Big W, kmart etc. lol. It wasn't the same. it had my skinnies! All my local Big W's haven't got the skinnies in yet and mum and I were freaking out thinking maybe they didn't have them this summer! I have about 4-5 pairs of these but it's like a sickness.. I keep stocking up! These and toilet paper.. I have issues. Soo.. I bought some. Next stop- best + less- sweet FA. Vinnies- Helloooo! I bought a black silk pussy cat bow blouse for $4 and some peachy lacey gloves (YES YES YES) for $3. Now notes on the gloves; they are tiny. they are tiny. they are tiny. they are not 100% what I want. they will do me for now. I then popped into another oppie shoppie and bought a knit. now I think maybe someone local knits these coz there were a few things in the shop in the same wool, no tags. It is like a short sleeved knitted long top/sweater dress. It is white wool with baby pastels flecked through it. So cute and trashy and cute. Will be worn with leggings and boots. and a biker jacket to toughen it up. This sucks. I can think of tonnes of winter outfits. it is still summer. I am so boring atm as you can see from todays outfit. ho bloody hum. I also popped passsed good old savers and nabbed a flannie for husband for some bogan party we are attending and a brown 3/4 sleeved lacy top-for-under-pencil-skirts and a white cropped-ish sparkly cardi. OH OH and there was a second hand book shop in ballarat and i bought fifteen at last by candice randsom and winter dreams, a sweet dreams book- oohh ooohhh OOOHHH! So yeah, my day was ok. hmmph.

note; have a real craving for things to be like they used to.. like when speeds shoes was around and opposite big w at the hub and we used to go to mutti's for breakfast.. wanna be 12 again!
note; 2 kittens gone, 1 to go.. to homes i mean, lol

Let it rain!

Hilde the Baggie :)

Working from bottom up!

It's 4:49pm and I cannot wait till 5:30pm.

It is kinda cool inside but its warm as outside, about 34 degrees I think.

There are fires around too. It's scary as! Danie just left work and she called me to tell me there was a massive cloud of smoke hovering over Princess Hwy just outside of work.

I don't like this.

I think enough is enough with these fires. So many people dead, so many people hurt. 200 gone, that is terrible! I am still so shocked that that easily.. 200 people are dead! I would hate for us to be desensitised to this kind of horror.

I think of the children killed in the fires and want to cry. Innocent lives taken... futures gone. No one deserves to die but someone so young to suffer like that and to lose their loves so young, wow. People about 15-20 mins down the road have been warned that the Belgrave fire may reach them. Our country is just so dry.

I am not an overly religious person, but please god! let it rain! Don't let one more life be taken in this way!

Weekend Update

Yesterday we celebrated a national day of mourning for Black Saturday.
Black Saturday was 7th february 2009. The temperature hit about 48 degrees in the afternoon, the wind was crazy and some nasty arse fires started- I remember driving in the heat out to Reddy Roast to see Mum and thinking, jesus it is hot, but not realising how hot. We have had some small spot fires and such but I dont think any of us had any idea what was to come- 209 people killed, 7500 people homeless and a crapload of animals homeless and killed. makes me cry thinking about it still. I have never, in my 27 years, witnessed anything as horrific so close to home! God bless all the firefighters and anyone who helped anyone throughout this tragedy. God Bless all the people killed and harmed in the fires and God Bless the rest of us, forever affected by this tragedy but thankfully safe..

Me near the Aquarium

Soo.. Friday night was dull. I didn't stay for that long, ABL and I then went over to the casino and had some dinner and a rather delish pistaccio gelato to follow... and a marzipan chocolate from the yummoli chocolate shop. (however, I feel I MUST add that I decided Friday night was my last bad food foray and I have been very good since then!)

Saturday I woke up late, had some yummy porridge, got a date cancelled by Cass (boo) and went and had coffee with mumsy, dadsy and ABL at Gloria Jeans... went to Big W and bought a top (can't really describe, will wear soon ha ha) I then went to Kmart and Hmm- let me tell YOU! They had some really great shit! I saw this totally awesome coat that I WILL be laybying.. grey flannal, hooded, cropped and duffle buttoned- hot. They also had nice stripey cardi's and cute pocket-ed grey buttoned vests (I ended up buying the vest sunday ha ha)
Saturday night I did a shift at the Roast.. worked with Sabina, was OK actually, didn't totally hate it! I worked again with my neice Chloe which is fun, she is a really hilarious chick.
Sunday, woke up early.. and discovered my little jubbery jublet had died!! Jubb Jubb was my fighting fish. I bought him about 4 years ago from the Footscray Market at the same time I bought Anna and Kelly one. Anna's died that same year, and I just checked with kel (ha ha) her's died late last year... so Jubb Jubb lived the longest!!!!
But still.. a sad morning. The rest of the day was spent seeing natals at work, having coffee and a boost juice wth husband, browsing (not not buying) from Savers and having my sister over for a coffee..
Only one kitten left too btw.. yay!
Also.. I just need to say, someone did something for me last night, a favour, and it was really nice and considerate and restored my faith in human kind xxx

RIP JUBB JUBB

Scattered Dayzeee

YAY YAY FRIDAY
Thank god. I am so tired.
I am going into the city after work to have drinks with Kelly for her birthday so I bought along my favourite green dress and my new 90's cropped black cardi.
I am not going to stay their for long.. as I am tired. (I say this now... but I will be singing a different tune when I am drunk, at HJ's at 5am tomorrow morning) I also have a strict $60 limit for tonight xx
Am working at the roast tomorrow night. Oh well.. it is an extra $40.
Today I am inspired by Deborah-lee at Style Plus as she wore this vest in black the other day and it reminded me that I had not worn mine for a very long time... its in a different colour but.
Also inspired by all the bogan maria's at Dandenong plaza last night in their leggings and gladiators. Mah,if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
I went to Savers last night, saw a nice Innovare double breasted jacket/blazer, sat on my hips. It was a great fit and that but I wasn't 100% feeling it. I just want one blazer/tuxedo/jacket for winter and I think i can do betterm you know? I then went to the Plaza and popped into best + less.. they had these horrendous plasticy double breasted jackets.. black and then a gross shiny checked material.. blahhh. Kmart had nothing... a few nice sleeveless cardi's/vests for winter but very boring. Target was the same. I was happy with this however, as I didnt want to spend. The only thing I did buy was a pair of brown gladiator sandals from target, only because a) i liked them b) they were $10 on sale and c) i figure we have a little but of summer left (next week is alll high 30's) so I will get wear from them. I have them on today- very comfy and sensual. I was interested in the shoe boots from the catalogue below..
They are only like $25 and I kinda wanted them.. but I didn't see them... and then the sales lady was being useless and couldn't find them either.. so then I was over it.

So, you can see my new shoes below..

I look a bit scattered in these pics.. I am a bit sleepy and my hair was messy. I like being messy sometimes.

Song Lyrics for the Day!

Another night slowly closes in and I feel so lonely

Touching heat freezing on my skin I pretend you still hold me

I'm going crazy, I'm losing sleep

I'm in too far, I'm in way too deep over you

I can't believe you're gone

You were the first, you'll be the last

The Flame by Cheap Trick= classic

Sooo Sleepy...

I am kinda digging this ensemble. Except for my messy hair and slap happy makeup.

It's all black.. which I try to stay away from... but I like it

This mini dress/long top is cute. I bought it over a year ago but have only worn a handful of times. I like the lace detail on the top. It also has little pockets which is cute, oh and I like a good cap sleeve.

I have worn this cardi every day this week. I love it. It is the right kinda warmth for the aircon-ed office too. Soo.. I have decided it would be wrong to name a new handbag and not name my favourite cardi- everyone, meet Esme.

I am tired as. I didn't get one sleep in last weekend. I am dying for one on saturday! Only one more early morning and then I can wake at my leisure without the aid of an alarm! Woot woot.

Ode to Forever New summer 2008

My little ensemble today is a nod to 2008 Forever New "faded denim/tan" look.
I am really diggin it actually. Love the light denim with the neatral contrasts. This is my $5 denim dress from savers. I may wear it in autumn/winter with a striped tee underneath.

So.. today is the day I am going to attempt to get my life back on track. Lol. I am so super dramatic, you love it. Soo.. here is my to do/to concentrate on list;

• ignore/remove toxiness
• be yourself
• start dieting again. you have kicked smoking, well done, now need to cut out the chocolate
• see more of the people who are good for you
• learn how to seperate the bad people from the good people- remember the saying, "Stress is an alarm clock that lets you know you've attached to something not good for you" Sooo.. if something feels wrong or is stressing me, give it the boot. Sometimes something feels great at the time but you KNOW you are going to feel like shit longer than you feel good. Such as... chocolate, getting shit faced, sex with people you shouldn't, flirtations with people you shouldn't, getting drunk and calling your ex/boss/your bestfriends boyfriend, spending LOTS of money on SHIT, snapping at people, peaking before thinking.. blah blah blah. I think the general philosophy is to STOP before doing things. And THINK of HOW what you are ABOUT to do is going to make you feel LATER! And how other people are going to feel!

Not that the whole above applies to me. I do some of those things but lol (getting shit faced) and then sometimes that leads to other things (flirtations with people you shouldn't) and then that makes me feel like crap later. So, I am going to "fix" myself lol.

I feel really good now, and I like what I am wearing. Lol.

I am going to see Kelly friday night at her birthday drinks and Cass on saturday for coffee and then maybe Nat sunday for a movie. Good non toxic peeps. I'm happy and excited. And that is me being me. I am a naturally crazy happy person and its time I left the things that were stressing me and pissing me off behind me and paid homage to the crazy happy person I am.

The sensual pant... and a little d&m

I love my outfit today. I pre planned it. Last night I did some googling. I like a well researched outfit. It was fashionable and comfy. I will definetely feature these pants again into late summer/autumn.

Other than that, not much to post. Life is really confusing and full on at the moment and I feel like taking some time out for me and my husband xx and just to smell the roses and look after my soul, you know? Also, I feel twelve months ago I really felt I knew who I was and where I was going and all of a sudden, I don't know. I like who I am, I love who I am.. but I feel I could be better in control of things. I think some stuff has happened over the past few months that disagrees with my core, my being. I have made a friend or two who are dragging me down, well one is dragging me down and one to a place I am not sure I want to be. This is term is making me irritable and into a woman I never wanted to be. Toxic people be gone. We all knew what happened to me last time I ditched a toxic, I feel its time again! I'm sick of conforming and putting a friend on a pedestal, yes this person is doing me some big favours but maybe I need to let that person free from their duties and be patient and try in a few months to do things for myself? gah. sorry, very deep I know, lol. needed to get this off my chest!

the stirrup tights and "Hilde"

Let's recap the day so far; slept in. woke at 8am. am meant to be out front waiting for Danie at 8am. Called boss, explained lateness blah blah, got to work, did a little.. frantically discovered "someone" wasn't coming over tonight as planned, mah, sooked but then got over- and I mean REALLY got over which is good. I then spent 3-5pm covering reception (YAWNNNNN) went to safeway, bought cupcakes, went home, cooked heart shaped pasta and chicken and am now bloggin'. Dig?
So when I dressed this morning I wanted to go with this russian-esque luxe boho. Kinda. If it was winter (or just less than 30 degrees) I would have donned maybe my fur vest. if I knew right now where it was, lol. Soo this is my black boho esque dress- it is from Big W and is a size 16- yes shocking I know. Has yellow brown and a little spash of red on it.. kinda boho-ey patterns. Has really nice fluttery sleeves too. I wore it with my new black crossroads stirup tights. They are stirrups right.. but they are stretchy and sheer like opaques.. and let me tell YOU, you TOTALLY need to wear undies over them! Like bloomers or something. I was hiking them up allll day. When I got home.. they were like under my butt. Shameful. They are a great otherwise! Love 'em!

Today was a debut as well.. of this new bag.
This bag, whom I shall affectionately call Hilde, was purchased on our honeymoon, at a little op shop in Bellingen, NSW. She is very satchel-like and has a long casual strap that allows the bag to sit at mid hip. I sort of left her on my chest of drawers under some stuff + forgot her! How rude! Anyway, today was her debut and MIGHT I SAY THAT I LOOOVE HER. many happy clothes moment for Hilde and myself to come!
Also in the shot with Hilde are the flowers my husband bought me for V-Day and also my table runner which i love love love. My MIL gave it to me, she found an obi at all op shop, modified and hemmed it and gave it to me and I use it as a table runner. I looove the colours.

It's Sunday morning. 7:51am. at 8:30am I have to leave to go and work in the shop with Chris and serve people food until 5pm. Yuck. I did it last night 5-9pm and nearly died. Now today its double that time. I am so greatful for my mon-fri cushy sit down job. My back hurts.

HOWEVER.. before I worked yesterday I dragged ABL to frankston, to Savers. I just KNEW (gut feeling) there would be goodies there and boy was I right! I got..

• black textured leggings/pants


• black hi waist jacqui e skirt


• black + silver striped short sleeved hoodie


• camel coloured knit hooded pullover


• cropped black cardi- so 90's and clueless-ey


• black floral patterned long sleeved zip up old lady dress


• black floppy hat with leopard print edging- very blossom meets Dionne from Clueless


• brown structured ladylike handbag


• black handbag on long strap


• 5 Sweet Valley books- Uni/Senior year

I also then popped into City Chic. They had some OK goodies actually! I ended up with- get this- charcoal checked leggings! OMG so happy! Popped past Crossroads and picked up a $5 yellow scarf. The colour is really nice! Happy shopping day, can't wait to actually be home so I can try on all my loot!

My favourite dress xxx

Friday.

And this day could either pan out well.. or.. not well. we will see. am waiting on some info mmm..

just remember danielle, either way, not to stress, it's all OK.

i hate being disapointed.

I am right back into the swing of fashion. I reallllly want this black shiny tuxedo jacket from Crossroads and some black lace gloves. And red tarten leggings/pants.

I took the vest off after i took this pic this morning by the way. I am wearing my thrifted black crochet cardi instead. I wasn't really into the vest. I love them in theory and really want them to work for me but I put them on and feel top heavy. I have just been advised we are sans-step kiddies this weekend so I am planning on having a big wardrobe tidy/sort and try-on tonight woot woot!

I'm happy because I am in my favourite green dress

So Inspirational (sounds like a bad Mariah Carey song)

Umm.. was I uninspired yesterday? Today I am BRIMMING!! So this is what I am thinking of autumn/winter..
90's 90's 90's- 90's floral grunge, black lace, black floral, ankle boots, tuxedo jackets, 90's tartan (this is the only tartan I am doing.. the way it was reinvented in the 90's from the 50's NOT direct from the 50's. I am so so soo over rockabilly)
90's Drew Barrymore. The delightful Ms B in the Guess campaigne in particular. Or Boys on the side. tatts, pale skin, white blonde tousled do, red cupids bow lips, denim vests, black black black
90's ripped denim/denim vest/white top Jon Bon Jovi "Miracle" video clip-esque
Preppy layers- ie my new denim shift, black and gold cropped cardi worn under as a top, stirrups and brown ankle boots. Oh and brown waist belt.
a tartan mini aka Liv Tyler, empire records
docs (goes without saying)
This all invokes memories for me of having long blonde hair, fake love heart with arrows tattoos, black lace, denim, docs, April 1994, my grandmothers 70th.... I like it. The look is a little E-Street Melissa Tkautz Kym Wilson Toni Pearon cum Drew B Guess cum floral grunge cum trashy kinderwhore cum preppy ish. hahah. I know what I mean!

Popped past Savers tonight. Ahh, Savers. I spent under $20 and got a camel+black striped long clingy tee (was from tempt so was probably meant to be a dress haha) a purple long tee with cap sleeves and cute little pockets. Oh and some dubious awesome pants. Awesome because they are harem-ey and have a gold faux belt thingy. Dubious because they are cropped as on me and I dont think they are meant to be. Oh and they are not really loose loose, more slightly baggy at waist and thighs and then taper in. They will do. I will know their true fashion potential even if the kinda look like 3/4 slightly baggy-ish leggings. Meh.

What do I WANT I MEAN NEED so far this season?

The black shiny tuxedo jacket in Crossroads- must layby

flat brown fringed ankle boots. just coz.

black floral everything

something black lace

something fur. sorry.. real fur. hello savers.

leopard print or tartan pants. somehow

a checked skirt.

a kinderwhore dress

a knit kinderwhore dress

a cute hat

more stirups

I have been really giddy, kind of silly all day! Like all practical jokey and stuff. I like being in this kind of mood because its fun.. i don't like it because I get jack done.. but mah, I need a crazy day.
I have been kinda moody lately, all over the shop, and I cannot get my eating habits into check since I quit smoking which is driving me CRAZY! I am craving all sorts of stuff! I know what you are thinking.. moody+cravings+vomitey Monday= Preggo.. but alas, no. And I am not going to stress about it. You know me, easy come, easy go. I have the attention span of a gnat. Yes, I would ideally like to be pregnant, but I am still only 27, so I figure I have enough time. I almost made myself sick last week stressing, I am too tired to go through that again.. and strangely enough since I resolved this tuesday night I have been really happy! Go figure!
Lotsa changes at work lately, the recession (thank YOU Kevin Rudd) is starting to hit home which is scary but I think we will be OK, I work for a rather large company. I have not been spending much and have saved like $400 over the last few weeks which for me, is awesome! I am also doing some weekend work over the next few weeks/months sporatically so that will be good, any money from that will go direct into my savings fund. Am saving for lotsa things! Dishwasher, a new car, my new blonde hair for winter ha ha...
I am feeling kind of clothes lost at the moment. I hate this in between summer/winter shit. I like the extremes. Right now I am sick of summer and CRAVING winter. I want scarves, berets, boots, leggings, fur etc etc... It has been quite cool the past few days which is great, but is warmer up over the next few days again- boohoo.
I was thinking about this winter, I am not going to buy much, some leggings and key pieces and then a few statements, not too many. I only want to buy statement MUST haves, I have way too much in the wardrobe that I like.. or maybe even love, but not LOVE love, you know? And that shits me.

My outfit today is ok.. the white top, although loose and bloussoney is kinda sheer and exposes a liiiitle bit of a gut roll ha ha.. but it's MY gut roll and I like it!! I just wanted something natural and transeasonal!

Off to the shops tonight.. just for a LITTLE look! Have fun!
