It's my personal mission to be so bright I do damage to your computer monitor.

Oh shit! I think there is a stain on them of my favourite dress! poobum!

I love this dress so much it's actually dare I say it my most item of clothing I have had in years, even with it's polkadots and garish colour




Double poobum it is a stain, anyone know how to get stains out of 70's polyester?

The Problem with Plus Size Cothing in Australia: Part Two (kmart edition)

I don't mind Kmart in Australia, it's a basic go to store for basics at a reasonable price it's close to my house and near where I get my groceries so I'm in there often, and all being said my local kmart has a decent selection of clothing  but not nearly enough of it while it still churns out aisles of polyester crap!


I have seen these pants sitting there year after year after year in every department store in Australia in the same colours, the same fabric and the same 3/4-7/8 length, and every-time I look at them I die a little inside.




I swear this looks like a bird went and shat all over an already bad floral print shirt (or it may be my photographic skills enhancing the the shittiness of this shirt)



Yes because as a fat girl I like to advertise the fact that I love to eat cookies and until I can save up enough money to get this phrase tattooed onto my forehead theres this t-shirt


And when I'm not advertising the fact that I'm a fat chick into cookies, I like to wear this t-shirt to show potential suitors that I am a sexual predator..I mean cougar in training! I mean there is nothing a woman can do to command more respect from her peers than to refer to herself as a cougar and be humble enough to admit that as a cougar she needs more training, and hug would be nice too.

DearTorrid WTF????




 
whoever styled this outfit should be shot, repeatedly,
 




I mean it looks like someone went through their scrap fabric pile and put all the rejected bits of fabric together, the print doesn't even go all over the fabric! I'm all for colour and clashing prints and textures but please Mr.Torrid designer, get someone to actually look at your designs before you ship them off to china to get some poor 16 year old sweatshop worker to make 50,000 of these

 This top manages to offend not only my eyes but also my sense of smell, don't know why it just does,  tis a shame because she is a gorgeous girl and her tits are spectacular

Guess what I'm doing tomorrow night?

My lovely boyfriend gave me my Christmas Present early this year, The B52's at the Enmore Theatre.



I'm excited becuase The B52's are probably hands down my most favourite band ever I have been obsessed with them since I was a child and in all honesty they have been one of the key groups that have shaped my taste both musically and aesthetically.





I mean look at it!  Mondrian Prints! , beehive hair!, soo much colour! so much fun! I'm so excited as the support acts are Mental as Anything (one of my favourite Australian Bands of all time!)



Oh how I love the lyrics!

Anyways with little notice I have no fricking idea what to wear if I had express courier from the U.S. I'd be wearing this


Tina dress: MonifC
 probably with some opaque black stockings and ankle boots

or this



Red bandage dress: Torrid
with a beehive and a arm full of chunky plastic bracelets

But alas I don't have time or money to make random colourful slutty purchases online and in all reality this is one super sold out show (they are even released lobby tickets) I need to plan my outfit around being comfortable, cool and being able to wear this without detection

Yes I am a trashbag, and whilst I don't really condone sneaking in alcohol to licenced venues, I aint losing my spot up the front for a drink not for this show so I'm going to be super prepared, and not miss a seond of the show.

A Clusterfuck of Colour: v 2.0

Clusterfuck of Colour v 2.0

I found this amazing/ almost hideous tie dyed vest/mumu thing at Vinnies in Marrickville and it instantly reminded me of Porenza Schoulers S/S 2010 collection, lifesaver lollies and my new summer theme 'A Clusterfuck of Colour' which I'm going to jump in head-first with, I'm trying to get at least four separate colours into each of my outfits and and ramp up the pattern mixing, within reason I have to work in a very conservative environment  but i'm pushing the envelope more and more everyday

But this shirt i have already worn it three times this week and I know it's going to come out alot more this summer! It's ben part of seriously some of the best thrifting i have accomplished in the last two weeks. I mean look at it! it looks like someone pissed on a rainbow!

The Dress is by Etsy Seller Jane BonBon and it's a dream, it's made to be braless and made to my exact measurements admittedly it's a little big since I have somehow manage to lose weight in the last month so I have been pinning it at the back or belting it, but i will be back and buying more and more I want to get me the fishtail skirt for winter and another couple of braless dresses, check her out with the currency conversion rates she is a right bargain at the moment

Clusterfuck of Colour : 2.0
Dress: Jane BonBon via Etsy
Shirt: Thrifted and Untagged
Belt: Don't know
Shoes: Can't remember

One Pair of pants = a million ways (ok only actually three ways)

all the following outfits are featuring the same pair of pants a pair of Skinny leg stirrup pants I got on sale from Evans ages ago I never wore them except under boots as the stirrup was stupid beyond belief, but a pair of scissors and a needle and thread made them into my favourite pair of pants, hooray for rudimentary sewing skills. Dont mind the face most of these have been taken on the way to work and I feel like a right twat smiling into a camera on my mantelpiece at 6am

made from genuine acrylic
Cardigan: thrifted
Headscarf: Thrifted
Necklace: Tree of Life
Top: some generic black singlet
Pants: Evans formerly stirrup pants with the stirrup cut off them
Handbag: Ebay
Shoes: black skimmers from some cheap shop in Sydney CBD


What's with the face?
Headscarf : Thrifted
Cardigan: Jane Davenport
Belt: Evans
Pants: Evans used to be stirrup pants with the stirrup cut off.
Shoes: Planet Shoes
 

Made in Manhattan
Headscarf: Thrifted
Cardigan: Moda for Target
Tshirt: New York subway tourist t-shirt found at thrift store
Pants: Evans formerly stirrup pants with the stirrup cust off them
Belt: Evans
shoes: Beth Ditto for evans
 

Oh I could talk about this outfit for ages, It features my new favourite t-shirt (other than my lime green Toshiro Mifune t-shirt) It's a t-shirt of the New York Subway map, and a lovely cardigan from the new revamped plus size Target range MODA some of the range is well onstructed and gorgeous (like my cardigan) some of it is dog fugly example

 taken at my local target
anyone else seeing aqua alien vaginas in the print


most of it however is an improvement, and the new buyer certainly has had an impact, I just wish there was more more classic, simple pieces instead of tribal printed kaftans in aqua spew, but the cardigan is so divine
and I paid full price for it, something I avoid doing like the plague at my local target.
