Oh yeah, wait a minute Mister Postman


On Saturday, I was listening to the With the Beatles album as I was cleaning and the song 'Please Mister Postman' got stuck in my head. So naturally when I passed a postbox the next day on the way home from the market, I had to get a photo in front of it! Silly, I know, but fashion is meant to be fun. 


Speaking about fashion, here are my prized Turkish boots. Every year, on my way to visit Eden, I'd go into a Turkish store in Stratford and lust over these boots. I used to look at them, but never buy them - they were out of my price range. Finally, when I was working part time at uni, I saved and saved for them and the next time we passed Stratford, I bought them! Aren't they unusual!


I styled this outfit around my boots because I knew the weather would be okay and I only wear them when I know it's not going to rain. I decided to stick with solid colours - a purple turtleneck, purple tights and rust/red cord skirt.


I think I've got to let go of this cord mini skirt. I've outgrown it and I don't think it's flattering on me anymore. This skirt is a bit sentimental to me because I wore it to a Rolling Stones concert in 2014 - it's seen some good times! I know it sounds silly, but I hope its next owner has just as much fun in it.

On the way to see the Rolling Stones, 5 years ago. I'm a big fan. Can you tell by my Keith tshirt?! 

 In fact, I'm selling all 3 of my cord mini skirts - I've got none left! I'm so glad that I found this cord midi skirt at the market on Sunday to replace my cord skirts. I think I'm more of a midi skirt person. What do you think, can I still pull off minis? 

See you next Sunday in a new blog post. X


Title: Please Mister Postman by The Beatles.

    I think you can pull off whatever you want to! Find a new cord mini, and rock it! I wear minis and I'm 51!!

    I ADORE those boots and demand close-ups! What are they made off?

      Yeah, I'll have to find a new cord mini. I'm not sure I want to totally get rid of all of them yet. Age is no matter, I'm just not sure they suit my body anymore, but if I find another, I'll give it a go. I do have a floral cord mini skirt that I'm holding onto - I love it.

      Ooo, I'll have to show close ups of the Turkish boots one day! They are made of a thick velvet material and it's embroidered! X

 Where do you buy your clothing from? Opshops? Online shops? Retail stores? For a while, I hadn't been buying much clothing as my wardrobe is absolutely full! From time to time, I sell pieces from my wardrobe on eBay to slowly thin out my collection. Although recently I fell into an eBay rabbit hole and have purchased quite a few nice dresses.  I bought this  Tree Of Life  dress on eBay after admiring the exact same one my mum has. I tried on her dress, so knew which size to buy. It popped up immediately when I looked it up online, and for less than $30 including postage, it was mine ! Leopard is always fabulous, I think. I enjoyed wearing it for a get-together with family friends at my uncle Arthur's house a little while ago. This cotton, brown and cream kaftan was also from Tree of Life. I wore it recently when going to see Simple Minds play at the Red Hot Summer Tour. And boy was it hot, at 35 °C     we were so sweaty, people were fainting around us. Luckily we sat under a t

After 11 weeks of term 2, preparing reports and completing parent-teacher interviews, I farewelled my grade 2 students, and began my two weeks of holidays. I was looking forward to spending time with my family, grandparents and boyfriend, as well as squeezing in some day trips. My mum and I returned to our favourite place, Daylesford. It was a cold, winter's day so we rugged up in big coats which kept us surprisingly toasty. I wore my tartan coat that I recently bought at a market. I had been looking for a big, long coat for some time as well as watching Gilmore Girls and admiring all of the beautiful coats worn on the show. So when I found this brand new coat, I was happy to hand over my $25. At Daylesford, we first roamed the Vintage Mills Market. It's always fun to have a look at the unique items. I found a vintage, leopard coat. It was a bit pricey, so I thought about it for some time and then decided to buy it as it was a dream item that I have been searching for, for prob

  Last Thursday night, my mum, sister and I went to see Wicked: The Musical in the city!  We quickly dressed and rushed there after work and made it just in the nick of time before the 7pm start. We marvelled at the ceiling and Romeo and Juliet style balcony. I even spotted a handful of Australian TV personalities, walking through a roped off area, which is something I've never seen here in Melbourne. Usually, we all just walk through the same entrance!  I absolutely love  The Wizard of Oz  as you may have noticed  here  and  here  and quite enjoyed Wicked The Musical, with its perspective of two witches Elphaba and Glinda from the Land of Oz. The set was wonderful, with references to the Land of Oz such as the Emerald City, cornfield and a field of poppies. It was lovely to see so many beautifully dressed audience members, with many of them wearing the colour emerald. I loved the enchanting costumes and the singing was absolutely amazing. Even though I wasn't familiar with th
