Outfit: Another Half Assed outfit post by your favourite half assed fatshion blogger

Glasses: Karen Walker (natch) 
T-shirt: Found it on the floor 
Necklace: Diva necklace and a bit of lincraft gold chain fused together
Bangles: they are giant friendship bracelets made out of cut up t-shirts
Jacket: Beth Ditto for Evans
Jeans: they also came from the floor (it's my favourite place for clothes) 


Brother and I were walking to the bus stop and he went "ooh graffiti! I'm taking a picture!" then I went "ooh shit I still have that blog thing take a photo of me so I can show complete stranger what I wore to the shops" then brother assumed that "Outfit blog" was a code for S&M dating website then I tried to correct him but I'm sure that he still is thinking S&M oh well (does anyone else think about M&Ms when someone talks about S&M?... anyone?) But look it's another tried and true fashion blog background and it makes my boring t-shirt and jeans look Gangsta Yo! (is that how you say it peeps) Actually the above photo is my most favourite photo of me for a very long time. Go Brother.

What the fuck is with that pose? Look I have a claw. I need to try harder at this to look more fashionable

Ooh look at my $6 sandals from Kmart I bought them to do this with but they are mighty comfy so I'll leave these for now and pimp another pair in the near future.

And the Winner of my hidden giveaway for a fabulous pair of Karen Walker sunglasses is...


I was meant to write this up earlier but my internetery hs been confined to Ye Olde Iphone and thus difficult to y'know do blogging shit.



Of these fabulous RRP $329 sunglasses.

NUMBER 10 which by my calculations was (by order of entries everyone's favourite purveyor of all that is fancy Natalie of Definatalie  and frankly I could not be happier a) she had bazillion entries in this frickin draw b) She is all that is fabulous c) she's an Artist and by giving her free shit I am nurturing the Australian art scene (which in turn gives me a lovely smug sense of satisfaction)

And not only did she get some Sunnies but also I chucked in smidge of vintage and a touch of deadstock which I guessed would fit (based on some mild stalkering on my part)I hope she likes the extras

Edited to add Ooh Look here doesn't she look perfect in them?

 Again thank you to the fabulous comments and entries in the competition and  I wish I had a pair of Karen Walker Sunglasses to give to you all (even if it would send me broke)

Oh and if you are asking yourself what competition? it was hidden in the bottom of this entry un highlighted after a very dull outfit post indeed. But I think that's how I'm going to roll from now on because you know I have more fabulous free shit to give away.

Outfit: what I wore Sunday Afternoon whilst lazing around, avoiding doing anything whatsoever.

Cardigan: Sara
T-shirt: ASOS curve
Jeans: Embody Denim (bodylove style)
Shoes: Kmart
Head Scarf: Leona Edminston (few seasons back now)
Bracelet: Handmade
Sunglasses: Karen Walker (Sir Bookie Style)


So back to regular posting; this is  another generic bumming around outfit post because the only time I actually have time to post one of these bloody posts is when I am doing nothing but bumming around. I could of put something fab on and pretended I was off to something but I wasn't and I'm all for this page to be a reflection of what I actually wore out of the house instead of look at the stuff I bought (or pestered a retailer to send me free shit ;-P) style blog.

Speaking about Shit I bought 
a) the ASOS curve T-shirt: it's comfy it's cute and the price was right at 3 pounds on sale I wouldn't pay their recommended retail price for it or most other of their knit items I am quickly finding out  the wuality is not what I am accustomed to (hello elephant scrotum dress) but it covers my tits and demonstrates my lifelong allegiance to the fox.
b) my Embody Denim jeans... Oh how do I love thee? let me count the ways this is my now third pair (I also own the Fevers and the Ice Queen styles) and I saw a pair of BodyLoves on sale on the Ebay and I thought I had to. You can barely see them in the photo and most likely won't wear them out galavanting (calves too tight even though they are bootleg cut) but with no fly and the best waistband ever these pants are the best tracksuit pants killer for lazy days. and yes I know they are technically Maternity pants and I'm not pregnant but seriously with the leave and the goverment benefits (in Australia) and the elasticised everything Breeders have had it too good for too long and I want me some maternity shit! It's comfy as.

c) My newest pair of Karen Walker Sunnies the Sir Bookies!!!!
See how they make me look smarter?
They are big and black and beautiful, there was a sale and they were cheap so I go them and they have improved my life significantly since their purchase.

Ooh baby aren't they the sexiest thing you have ever seen?


Anyways where was I? oh yeah, when I was looking at them and trying them on and relishing the sheer fabulosity they brought to my face, I thought to myself, "gee wiz the blog-o-sphere has been so nice to me of late and I really like them a whole lot how do I thank them for being nice and friendly on the twitter and on the livejournal and especially here at whykikiwhy.blogspot.com without seeming like a right attention whore?"

Well the answer came to me and I purchased two pairs of these delicious sunglasses one for myself and one to give away to one of you dearest darling readers.

Yes Seriously.

Now unfortunately like all good things in life there are conditions, and rules and terms and more conditons and to keep things fair I have to include them.

I'm not going to make you follow me on facebook  (I don't like using it) on Google friend connect (it's for suckers.. or I can't figure out how it works) or tweet about me (I hate those I just entered a giveaway at blog and you should too tweets) I'm not doing this to get readers, in fact I'd prefer it if you kept it between us y'know because secrets are cool and shit. In fact other than this entry I will not mention this giveaway other than this highlighted bit of text at the bottom of an OOTD post until I draw the prize on Sunday the 25th July 10:30pm Sydney Time. AEST GMT +10

So what do you do?
a) leave a comment at the bottom of this entry with your email address (best format would be ?????AT????DOT???) and that gives you one entry
b) if you have had a permanent link to me on your blog or website (before today 18/07/10... I can check this) include that in your comment you get ten more entries
OR
 if you don't have a blog or even if you do but didn't have a link to me and follow me on twitter (before today 18/07/10... I can check this too) include your twitter name and you get five more entries
OR
if you don't have either blog or twitter but have left a comment previously or emailed me previously you get 5 more entries mention that in your comment as to which entry you left a comment or when you emailed me

That's it and using random.org I'll choose a winner I don't expect too many entries (meaning more of a chance to win). And again thank you everybody for being so fab!

Gosh I'm head to fricking toe in Evans today, I made a couple of purchases last week with my Ebay winnings in their 20% off sale, most important one is this Breton top, every year I always look for the perfect striped top

The jacket I wear to death, I bought it the first day the fucker went on sale and it hangs on the hat rack in the living room as it's always being worn. have been searching high and low for a backup one but nobody wants to get rid of them... sigh.

The sunglasses gotten on eBay for a song and postage and handling and I love them to death.

What I got for christmas



KAREN FRICKIN' WALKER sunglasses! I know I know I know, ever since I hear she was releasing sunglasses I had been excited as Karen Walker is quite easily one of my favourite Anipodean designers and her ad ampaigns are to die for, I love this years 'Vampire' shoots and last years 'Tears' shoots and Secret Identity shoots were so so very beyootiful, My darling friend Boo has connections and kindly bestowed me a pair of Super Dupers
I'm hoping for considerably less than retail price, please God make her expect very little in return this Christmas.













I'm ever so in love thankyou Boo
