Wardrobe Wednesday.


My outfit for the week is a bit of a special one. This was the outfit I wore to meet my 'twin' at the airport on Sunday. I'll go into more detail about that in the next post, but it's safe to say I put a fair bit of effort into trying to look awesome. It's really hard to try and find an outfit that sums up who you are as a person!
This is what I came up with.
The brooch is a favourite of mine. It's by Dear Colleen, I bought it at Craft2.0 in June. I've only worn it a handful of times, because it gets very mixed responses (most people don't 'get' it...) and I can't often be bothered with the questions, but I absolutely love it. I would buy another with a different slogan but the black just goes so well with everything.
The striped top was thrifted, the skirt was gifted and the shoes are from the big red shed.

Also, promised Abraham I would do a Wardrobe Wednesday for him sometime. So, this week, you get two outfits from me. This is an outfit shot of me, Amy and Abraham on Monday.


Me - Dress from Op shop in Te Puke, brooch by my friend Helen Stripy socks, sunnies from the Sallies and flats from the Warehouse.
Abraham - 'Gaywyre' (a band) t-shirt, brown jeans from the Sallies and Bata bullets that were my Grandpas.
Amy - Skirt altered from a dress, flats from the Warehouse, white cardi, sunnies and red beads thrifted in Nelson and a black singlet from somewhere. I hope I got that right.

If you'd like to play along with WW: take a photo, blog it, and pop over to Clare's place and add a link. Would be lovely to have you.

  5. Love the dark background of the skirt with floral print on top. Great idea to include some other people in your WW. Bata bullets! They're a bit of a blast from the past haha. Funny how things go round in circles.
