Pink slips, pink ownership papers

 

Hello! 

I hope your day is as lovely as this strawberry milkshake! I haven't had a milkshake in years and this one was such a delight. My mum, dad and I recently went out for lunch to Old Man Drew. My mum and I enjoy going out to different places to eat, whereas my dad is more of a grumble bum but also doesn't want to miss out! Hehe!

On this day, I had a homemade pie and we shared a pecan pie which was delicious. So delicious that I think I need to return there for some more as soon as possible.

I adored these red flowers that were on each table. The sun shone perfectly in this photo.

Mum and I had a peek at the rooms upstairs where events are held. There was a pink room which was beautiful.

Earlier in the day, mum and I walked through a women's peace garden.

 

With its very own peace sign on the lawn!

This dusty pink plant complimented my outfit perfectly.

I constructed this outfit around these white boots and pale pink turtleneck which are both pieces that I haven't worn much lately. I'm not convinced that white boots are for me, but apparently they're all the rage at Harry Styles concerts.

Look at the new dress my mum made herself. Fabulous and patchwork, it reminds me of something Cher and Priscilla Presley would have worn in the seventies.


I'll leave you with this snap of the blossoms in our front yard. Surprisingly they smell of grape lollies. I'm thrilled it's finally spring here in Melbourne.

P.S: Do you recognise this movie quote?

    What a lovely place, Jess, and your outfit is absolutely delicious. As is that strawberry milkshake, by the looks of it, and which I'm now craving! xxx

    I do not know that movie quote, but I know that pink slips mean "getting fired" here. If you get your pink slip it means you're out of a job!

    I love your pretty outfit, and how it echoed your settings, right down to the branch with lovely blossoms. Your mum's dress is amazing! I just watched the new "Elvis" movie, and thought of you!

    I loved Old Man Drew's last time you visited, such a quirky looking place.
    Your outfit is lovely as is your Mum's! xxx

 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
