dressing up for woolworths is a past-time of mine.

black top - target
necklace - rupert & sherlock
ring - ebay / ana silver co
skirt - generic one that you get with different labels at different chain stores
bag - asos

ben thinks sometimes i get too dressed up to go down to woolworths (this is tamer version of what i sometimes wear). but to be honest, it's really the only chance i get to dress up. i don't go out much. i am very much a stay-at-home-whatever. sometimes i'll wear my 4inch wedges. i go out now and then, like to shops or comedy shows/gigs but i don't go out out, like clubs and drinking. i don't mind so much if this is making me sound like a lame hermit who talks about herself.

but another part of it is that i like to make an effort when i go out. it confuses me when i go out somewhere (not just safeway, but shops) and i see people wearing daggy clothes and unbrushed oily hair. i never leave the house with sweatpants and if my hair looks oily i will wash it before i go out and dry it. i understand some people just don't have the time and i guess i have nothing but time.

the necklace i'm wearing is one that i've made myself. it's a prototype for the etsy shop and will be making an entrance at some point. if you can't wait that long email me and i'll get onto it quicker. the ring is from ebay. if i had a better camera i would take an awesome detail shot of it. it's gorgeous, it has a slight cave in it with tiny formed crystals. plus the purple dye is beautiful.


are you one for making sure you look decent before leaving the house, or you just throw on whatever you can not caring what it is?

home hobo.

this is what i wore yesterday to go shopping for some 'stay at home clothes'. i need a different set of clothes for going out (even grocery shopping) then when i sit at home because of sherlock. beagles are known to shed a lot, so i get covered in her hair quite quickly. PLUS she thinks she still fits in my lap for cuddles. our couch is covered in a blanket of the same colour to save the cushions and i never ever wear black inside. so stay at home clothes is pretty important for me, especially if i have visitors over. with winter coming it's even harder as i want to wear tracksuit pants and cheap baggy jumpers but i look like a hobo and i find appearance and making an effort very important to me, so it's hard to find something to wear when friends come over, or at the moment we have a friend staying for a while from japan.

so off to highpoint i went, in search for jeans and a decent hoody. now, let me tell you, i hate jeans. i have 2 pairs at the moment that i wear in and out of rotation, depending on how much take away i eat... but i am very very much a tights and skirt/dress/shorts kind of person. always tights. so me not particularly liking the long denims, i tend to be very picky. all in all, i found nothing. at all. the thing i hate most about trying to find jeans is that SO many of them have that retarded hip horse riding thing going on. bah. i don't need to look fatter than i am.

so here i am now wearing leggings in black with white hairs and a jumper. well and a cotton cheap dress from target. because we all know leggings aren't pants.

i'm a PRO. ... crastinationator.

well. i still havent finished my redecorating. i'm kind of stuck on where to go from here. but i will say that the only reason i'm redecorating is because the jeffrey campbell clinic shoes fell through (possibly cause of a dodgy ebay seller) so i spent all my money at ikea instead. with still more to buy. oh ikea, i should be a stock holder.

wore that the other day to go to the op shop to buy some little golden books for a project i'm doing. i only found one though. so ebay is my friend and ive got a few more. but those shoes i'm wearing are new i got from the states. they are super tall (they don't look it in the photo but they are close to 5" with a platform). the highest shoes i own. they defy my gravity skills plus they also exaggerate every bump and slope in the uneven footpaths. they are also half a size too big (ssshhh don't tell ben) but cause of the straps it's no real problem. i also look like i'm dancing with myself. la la la.

RAWR.

to the left is a new prototype for a necklace i'm working on. its got a leather backing with, well obviously chains. i think it's a bit lacking and needs more chains. it also doesn't stay very flat and that, i need a stiff backing on it. don't know what to use yet though. so i'm going to work on that tomorrow. or something. i believe i have too many projects to do at once.

just cause it's funny that someone went to the effort to wash the jar out then return it to the shelf.

EDIT: i just realised the title says procrastinationator. it was originally 'pro. crastination'. then i added the 'ator' without deleting the 'tion'. i'm not going to change it though. it's funny.

a quick memo. new delivery.

just a super quick hello because otherwise my next post isn't going to be for a while. i'm redecorating my study area, so i guess this is a procrastination post. but i also wanted to share with you my new purchase/delivery. i've been waiting to buy these shoes for AGES. they are vintage pumps from etsy and the seller went on holiday for nearly two months when i was going to buy them. but they are finally mine! such an amazing bright pink colour. i have to wear socks or stockings with them cause the toecap bit is not large enough and you can see my toes.

i don't like it when you can see toes in closed toe'd shoes. it makes the shoe look too big or makes your toes look really squished and fat. blargh.

ps. this procrastination post was too small for my procrastination purposes. need to find something else to do. if only the screens on gameboys were brighter, i'd play pokemons.

splatter me pink.

went to spotlight because i'm a self sadistic fool. i saw a belt on shopbop.com by fiona paxton and didn't want to pay $400 for it, plus the style didn't really appeal to me but the concept did. so i decided i wanted to try and make one myself. stupid. it's a waisted belt, made from bugle beads. you know those tiny long beads (tiny long.. makes sense. kind of). they are all sewed one next to the other to make a pattern. when at spotlight i realised how many beads i would have to get to make it, so i'm going to test it out in a miniature cuff sized version first. see how long it takes and whether it will be possible to do a belt version. i think i'm going away to the parents' farm over christmas so i'll have tons of time then, seeing as there's nothing else to do on an olive grove.

my first outfit post virginity scandal.

gah. subjecting to the masses. or maybe it's just cause i think i dress awesome and you should all see it. KA BLOOM (that was my head). i just really love the outfit posts of the other bloggers i follow via bloglovin'. it inspires me at times to experiment more with what i have or also what i need to buy. my favourite bloggers are hot chocolate & mint, fashion toast and style bubble. if any of you people who haven't started reading my blog yet have any others i should take a look at, let me know.

well. this is my first outfit post. i wore this to the Ted E. Bears farewell tour. it was well humorous. apart from the killer reverse park i had to do in this tiny little parking lot with a larger than normal car and a missing side mirror (damn you driver who drove off). thank you mr. parking attendant man who helped guide me in.

cardigan - supré.

dress - don't ask amanda (i love their clothes so much).

necklace - sportsgirl.

clutch - rupert&sherlock.

wedge pumps - muifashion @ eBay

you will also find, with the more outfit posts i do, i practically cannot live without a cardigan and tights.

also the clutch managed to pass the test. but i really need to find a way to close the opening properly because it was always moving around and not sitting right and i'm really really picky about things sitting perfect. it's like my own ocd, need to have things lined up, straight, put back properly on shelves et cetera. but that's a good thing. now fix up your tie. please.
