Outfit: same old, same old but this time in sepia. Plus some whingeing about Evans customer service

Yawn... today's outfit is an old My Size sweater dress (worn backwards) a Sara Cardigan, generic black leggings and my Payless leatherette combat boots, the belt is a DIY job and the headscarf is thrifted natch.

The belt I made by sewing the buckle off a size zero belt I got for a dollar from Valley girl onto some wide width elastic and for about half an hour of actual work I have a custom made belt.

Hopefully when I get some time I will sort out this dear old page into something a tad more coherent and get these links sorted out as well and catch up on the blogosphere (shit hey blogosphere was in my spell checker as a proper word!)

Oh yeah if you were following up on me and my missing Evans order that I mentioned a few times on my twitter (@whykikiwhy follow me... please) well over one month, three International phone calls, 1 attempt to communicate via their twitter team (@evansclothing) and I got my money back minus postage (?) on my third call into customer service after they realized that just forgot to process my refund. It's not a big deal (I'm a grown up) except the items I specifically ordered no longer exist and I still had to pay for their failed attempt to send me something and to chase it up as lost parcels can only be investigated after a call into the centre. Oh and be warned international buyers, Evans stops tracking once the order leaves the UK, you have to wait three weeks before you can lodge a lost parcel request and they might forget about you all together even if you have made several successful purchases with them previously.

Oh well Caveat Emptor or some other Latin that means "it sucks to be me without my leather wide fitting industrial looking sandals"

Outfit: shit I forgot I had a blog so here's me without a decent nights sleep drinking crap coffee

Ooh look at that smokin steely gaze yes it's a generic lazy work outfit, T-shirt is black my slacks are black my jacket is black, my mother is black.

But my scarves... are wondrous bright things that help differentiate myself from the dirty Inner West Emo hipsters and the the Goths.

Today's outfit has two scarves tied together to make one longer scarf then the subsequently tied around my delicate bird like neck to shield me from the elements/ draw attention to my boobies/ catch crumbs.

How do you wear your scarves? are you like me and chuck on as many as you can?

Apologies for my delayed absence of late, my schedule has meant I'm pretty much contained to iPhone internet access on my commute. But again thank you for such lovely comments (seem to see them a week after they happen) they are the reason I get up in the morning that and an overwhelming urge to pee.

I also have started me a tumblr at http://whykikiwhy.tumblr.com if you need more whykikiwhy in your life.

Outfit: look Ma! she's all stripy

Headscarf: Thrifted
Sunglasses: Karen Walker (Gee Devotee)
Sweater dress: My Size
Cardigan: Monroe
Leggings: Evans
Combat Boots: Payless

 I was doing my monthly rummage through Myer City stores sale rack (it pretty much in my opinion the best place in Sydney to find a good quality new fat chick bargain) and saw this marked down 50% from the lowest marked down price (original RRP $120 I paid $40) and I thought lets give it a crack. I looks good (the stripes are angled on the back) and lightweight and will be a great trans-seasonal piece, but it feels cheapish and definitely not worth $120 but a decent striped cardigan has been on my to buy list and I found one and it'll do.

Oh Overseas folk and probably not many Aussies even know about this Monroe brand, it's the plus size diffusion range of the big Australian brand Bardot and is sold directly through the Department store chain Myer and via their website. Targeted at 18-35 the range is mainly stocked with more professional on-trend styles and basic styles. I personally like the brand and hope that they get a bunch more support because I think the Australian youth plus size market really needs more fashionable, professional, classic, work/play clothing that isn't as farted out thoughtless  (I don't want to use that term but it's the only ones that come to mind)  as City Chic or Dream Divas offerings.
