All the complicated boys know that the girls are so complicated

 


It's my first day of work holidays! Woohoo! There's so much I'm looking forward to... days out with mum, catching up with some friends, visiting my grandparents, finally using my pottery lesson voucher that my sister bought for me pre-Covid and spending as much time as I can with my boyfriend.


The last few weeks at work have been spent doing assessments and writing reports as well as two weeks of online learning, so I'm very grateful to have some time to relax and get ready for term 3. Melbourne's restrictions have eased considerably since lock-down 4.0 but people in their 20s don't yet have access to any Covid-19 vaccines. Have you got your vaccine yet? Some of the teachers at my work have had their vaccine and it's always interesting to hear their experiences. 

 

 

In other news, I have been living in turtlenecks and cord pants/skirts, as I do every winter. They're warm and suit me and I just can't bear to wear anything else because it's freezing most mornings. It's hard to look cute in the cold, I tell ya! Plus I love my little beaded bag so much that I bought its twin it at a secondhand market.

Hope you're all well and I hope to post more now that I'm on holidays.

Let the fun begin! X

    Yay to the holidays Jesse! You are absolutely rocking the mono colour, turtleneck look. The beaded bag is just perfect. Gorgeous photos.

    I wonder what vaccine you are all being offered in Australia? Being just 40 (trying to make myself feel younger here), I had the Oxford- Astra Zenica vaccine. Under 40s are being offered Pfizer. I felt ropey for a few days, but my folks (in their 70s) didn't notice a thing. Monsieur had the Pfizer one and his face temporarily drooped on one side (very rare side effect!). Apart from me not being able to look at him eating at tea time, he was fine.

    Hope you have a wonderful break. Lulu x

      Thank you dear Lulu. You are so sweet.

      The same 2 vaccines are being offered here, though we need more Pfizer.

      Oh that's interesting to hear that you were alright with your vaccine. You partner though! What a worrying side effect! X

    You certainly deserve your holidays after the term you've had! Loving your monochrome trousers and turtleneck combo. Both Jos and I had the Pfizer vaccine. Jos is fully vaccinated now and didn't have any side effects whatsoever. I had my first jab three weeks ago - two to go till the second - and only suffered a slightly painful arm on day 1. Enjoy your break, Jess! xxx

    I love your cranberry turtleneck and matching cords, Jess, although they make me sweat just looking at them (we're experiencing a massive heatwave in my part of Canada right now). I love that you bought another beaded bag. Enjoy your holiday!!

    I have had my first jab (back in May) and I should be getting notice for my 2nd any day now - I'll likely be able to book it some time in late July. Woo hoo! I'm glad your numbers are low!

      Cranberry! I should start using that word to describe this turtleneck!

      Yay you've probably had your second dose by now, Shiela! X

    Have a wonderful work break! That's a fabulous outfit proving you can look cute in cold weather clothing!
    Jon and I have been double jabbed for over a month now, we had the Astra-Zeneca and other than Jon having a heavy arm for a couple of days there were no problems to report. Anyone from 18 years of age can get jabbed in the UK now, you don't even need to book. We've heard about the spike in cases in Sydney, take care! xxx

      I know Vix, it's hard work trying to look cute in cold weather clothing!

      Oh that's good to hear! How great that you and Jon have had both vaccinations. 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
