b.f.w

I've decided to be completely un-Melbourne and support B.F.W: Brights for Winter, a totally fictional program I've just made up that supports advocators of bright clothing in the colder months. None of this gloomy depressing stuff, I have challenged myself to give up buying anything in black/shades of grey as of now. I'm tossing up whether shoes and bags count, but for the purpose of this post I don't think so (metallic silver does not count as grey). Also, the (grey) neoprene jacket I just bought from Asos doesn't count, but none the less I'm dying to wear this magnificent beast with some crazy brights underneath. Will do an outfit post when it arrives (hoping tomorrow, fingers crossed).

P.s. Sorry posting has been so slow lately, I've been up to my neck in uni work. I'm hoping, come June, I'll be back sewing again after the nasty onslaught of assignments and exams is finally over!

The best thing about small towns? The op shops! On my recent trip up to Jervis Bay in NSW I found this outrageously bright Gloster shirt dress, thinking it would be an excellent addition to my 'brights' wardrobe. It had pretty horrible sleeves and came down below my knees so I simply snipped off the bad bits to turn it into the perfect lazy summer dress... And would you believe this set me back a whopping $3?! It had a $6 price tag on it, but the lovely ladies running the op shop couldn't justify letting me pay that much for it so they cut the price. I almost burst out laughing!

new shoooz

 My Asos shoezies arrived this morning!! Love waking up to a package on the doorstep!

They are delightfully sweet shoes, a little on the big side (I'm an Aust size 7 and got a UK 6, which has never failed me before), but they kind of gape around the ankles and will definitely need some serious wearing in so they don't rip me to shreds. Still, on the whole I'm very pleased with this purchase!
