Aussie Curves- Festival

I'm taking this week's theme to mean what would I wear to a festival. I've only been to one music festival, which was the jazz festival at Morpeth. You'll never find me at festivals like the Big Day Out, crowds of people freak me out. I'd much rather listen to music in small settings, like the local pub band. Not that I get to go to that stuff since becoming a single mum. I'm pretty happy listening to music in my loungeroom. But anyway, if I was going to a festival, I'd wear comfy clothes. Stuff that holds up to sweat and dirt. Sleeves and sunglasses, for a bit of sun protection. Non dangly earrings, supportive shoes for any dancing that may occur. And my usual pop of colour.

I just picked up this tee from Best and Less for $6. Score! My shorts are from Autograph a while back, and I wear them a lot in the warm weather. So far they're holding up nicely, and don't ride up my legs when I walk.

Sweet Tooth Polka Dots

My final blue outfit for the week isn't what I planned- I was going to show you another blue dress. The weather turned a little too cold for it though, so here's my bright blue pants and my favourite polka dot shirt.

Me from the side, so as not to get too used to my front on angle photos. I'm 3D people. Awesomely fat on all sides. ;-)

I was inspired by some of the ladies from Aussie Curves and teamed up my light blue with my darker blue stuff. My favourite t-shirt at the moment, and my cool aqua shoes did the trick.

I love my Domino Dollhouse polka-dot top. I wear it over a lot of stuff. Polka Dots are the best. My blue jeans are from Big W, they don't fit perfectly, but they are bright and colourful so I had to have them. Screw the "pear shapes must wear dark colours on their bottom half" crap.

Extreme close up trying to show you my accessories. Like my D&D earrings? I have these and some d20 ones. I bought them from Etsy. Polka dot hair flower somehow matches my shirt, but was bought at random from a local boutique. Score!

This last photo is an attempt to show you how much I love blue, and polka dots. Polka Dots for eva!

And here ends my blue week, I hope you enjoyed it!

Aussie Curves: Picnic

This week in Aussie Curves, our challenge theme is picnic. Before we get started, I have a confession. The photo below accurately sums up how I feel about picnics. The only nice thing I could think of about picnics was reading a book, but you know I could do that inside in the comfort of my bed. Picnics for me mean flies, mossies, ants, food that needs to be eaten on laps, etc. Yep, I'm an indoors person. Give me a good book to read inside, or a good gaming session any day.

Ok, now I've got that off my chest, here's my outfit. Picnic made me think of my tablecloth dress, that I wore for red week in this post. I needed to mix it up for a new post, so I decided to wear it as a skirt, paired with my Sweet Tooth shirt. My top is from this Etsy shop which has lots of other cute shirts and shoes too. I tucked the skirt under a bit to match the higher waist of the dress (and of me!). Usually it's longer, as you can see in my previous post here.

I wore my comfy red shoes, which seemed a sensible choice for a picnic. Lots of ants and grass and stuff to get in your sandal type shoes, I would think.

My accessories included my strawberry clips from The Olive Tree Markets, earrings from a random market, and a bunch of bracelets- pearl ones were 50c from an op shop, red one is part of a set from Yours Clothing. Apologies for puffy eyes, I was staying at my parents for these photos and they are hayfever central.
