It's the Newspaper Mama

If you grew up in Australia in the 80's you'd know all about Peter Coombe, he was 'The Shit' to four to seven year old me, every day when we'd get home from school smattered between the ABC late afternoon programming would lie a Peter Coombe song and you'd jump and sing along, it's actually kind of odd as I now as an Adult appreciate how mature musically and lyrically he was as an entertainer (reminds me muchly of Paul Simon) and fingers crossed next time he hits Sydney I'm going to go see him live.

Anyway what's that go to do with my outfit, nothing really except for "What's black? and What's White? and Red all over" and today that was me

Dress: Target 2006ish

Cardigan: Basque via Myer 2006ish too

Shoes: Evans

Belt: came with a dress

Scowl: caused by society in general and American t.v.

I wore this to work today, as it was officially the first day in my and improved job so I thought I would be breezy and approachable but responsible and authoratative without sacrificing my femininity, which the outfit might of done if my tits didn't fall out of this dress everytime I sat down.

It's actually my only floral print dress, I'm not usually a fan, (unless it's Pucci, natch) and honestly not a fan or rose prints on dresses either, but I like this dress the print isprobably the most flowery I'd get unless it was hideously kitsch (which I am looking for right now)

Not those bloody blue leggings again!

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?

Smell my armpit? Ha I made you smell my Armpit!

Cardigan: Moda for Target  Australia
Top: Superhero top: Vigilante Labs via Etsy
Pants: Jersey Gauchos via Ebay
Shoes: Beth Ditto for Evans

I love this top I got it made by  fabulous Etsy seller Vigilante Labs who does great things with truly unique fabrics if you look closely it has snippets of comic books and flashes of action words I love clothes with onomatopoeia on them. if you want something unique truly unique try them they go up to 5XL and no one else will have something like it... well except for me

My favourite dress all tucked in.

the details 

Top: Vintage dress from Thrush Vintage via etsy
Jeans: yoursclothing.co.uk
Flats: Evans

I love this dress so much I constantly dream of all the possible ways I could wear her tucked in layered over legging over, stockings, over bare legs how she would look worn backwards (found out bit stupid actually) and even just as a skirt, this ensemble has been the most popular one over the last month, the dress is appearing weekly often twice/ thrice weekly and more than often not unwashed and splattered with the coffee stains I acquire from my commute to work but in all honestly this dress could smell like goat and i'd pick it before many other items in my wardrobe.

My most favouritest dress ever... so far

Dress: Thrush via Etsy
Cardigan: Sara
Leggings: Have no Idea
Boots: Duoboots.co.uk
Necklace: Diva
Belt: evans.co.uk

I love red it's my favourite colour, I love polka dots it's my favourite pattern in fact if I had to style myself on anyone it would be Minnie Mouse

I'm actually amassing quite a collection of baw and polka dot adorned items and have styled the fro to resmemble ears.

This dress is actually amazing I think it's an old plus size beach cover-up from the 70's it's so bright and it's oddly versatile i often wear it blousey and tucked into jeans.
