Introducing myself
Hello, well I have landed in my new place (although this pic is not taken in it!) and I have been having blog commitment issues (should I? do I have time? Would anyone really care LOL!) I started writing, well, really for myself- (a bit of post break up, life transition musing and a bit of emotional catharsis, really). So here I am, not sure how much I'll post, but will give things a whirl and see where it goes.

So this is me- hello! Quick pic courtesy of my gal pal's hubbie, who was my dashing escort to my pal's burlesque festival (The very first Australian Burlesque Festival). I went to the Saturday night event, the Big Tease, and it was a very professional show with a mix of Australian and overseas acts. If you are in Sydney, the Big Tease is coming to you this Friday and Saturday night- check it out http://www.australianburlesquefestival.com

So it was freezing (well freezing for Melbourne) and after a swag of outfits strewn over the bedroom floor I decided to keep it simple and go for this look (which I accidently - but secretly pleased, managed to colour coordinate with my escort's outfit!).

So I guess this is now an outfit post!




Outfit:
50s Red bolero gifted from my pal cindy
Black 40s crepe blouse with floral sequining purchased way back in 1998 at San Fran Vintage Clothing Fair
40s wool black skirt thrifted
Red Remix platforms
Bakelite carved bangles in cherry and butterscotch- mix of ebay and from a wonderful jewellery dealer friend in San Fran (Hyde and Seek)
Carved bakelite ring courtesy of a dealer pal William
Not shown 50s Red leather handbag thrifted
