Lace and suede



Top: Temt
Shorts: Forever New
Brooch: Kirbee Lawler


I still wear clothes! Strange, I know, since I haven't done an outfit post on here for ages. I've been super-busy with work and usually by the time I'm ready it's time for me to run out the door. These are my favourite shorts at the moment. I feel strange wearing them because the waist is so high and the hem so short, but I can't deny myself of their 1970's (?) structured charm.
I went shopping today in Paddington and almost had a stroke when I discovered Retro Metro. Then my bank account screamed and I promptly left the store before I spent all my money. For anyone who does have a dime to their name though, I would highly recommend it. I scored a few dresses at their 'outlet' a few houses down the street. To hem or not to hem, hmmm.

I'll also mention that I'm working on a truly one-of-a-kind dress which I will finish tomorrow.
I'm not the most perfect seamstress yet, but I'm getting there. Here's a sneak peak of a what's to come.
