Wardrobe Wednesday - On Not Taking Ourselves too Seriously

Hi Lovelies

I do love the opportunity to have a wee browse in your wardrobes each week, to see the colours you are wearing, what's inspiring you, what risks you are taking for yourselves, how you accessorise.... kinda nosey I guess but at least here you are inviting me to give you the twice over.

So I'm not always about taking myself too seriously with the way I wear my clothes... in fact I'm hardly ever about taking myself seriously. Mainly I'm about having some fun with what I wear, with enjoying the process, celebrating....

So today I'm channeling my inner sexy-librarian, office geek-chic .... not that most people in an office would wear a car dress but this is my little fantasy :o)

So I was approached recently by Firmoo and asked if I'd like to have pair of glasses. Not being a glasses wearer this was something of a novelty - so I went online and picked the loudest pair I could find, not surprisingly!! On firmoo you can log in and upload your picture and try specs on yourself (I didn't do that so these probably aren't the best shape for me). They also do sunnies and 'real glasses' (you know for people that actually need glasses) and if you are keen you can get your first pair free - you can find out more here.

I like these and they arrived fast and they came with a lovely case and they are such a fun colour - don't you think?

Do you take your wardrobe seriously?? 
Do you ever just throw and outfit together for fun? 
Would you wear fake glasses???

And very importantly - have you decided what to wear on Christmas Day yet??? I haven't!

Outfit: Total cost to me approx $7
Scarf - Melbourne Op shop
Dress - Handmade from 1950s car fabric (every mama of boys needs a car dress!)
Belt - Dotti
Shoes - handmade in NZ bought for $3 in an op-shop - they gave me blisters today but I'm sure my feet will harden up!
Glasses - c/o- firmoo
Bracelet - gift, made from a measuring tape.

Of course our next Wardrobe Wednesday is on Boxing day.... so I may or may not see you depending on how much turkey you consumed and how freely the champagne was flowing!!

In any case - my sincere Christmas Wishes to you and those you love. May you know the peace and hope of a babe born to a young poor couple, welcomed by rough shepherds and rich, foreign astronomers. May you know the love of heaven.

Merry Christmas beautiful ladies

So what is Wardrobe Wednesday?

• It's a chance to take some time once a week to peel off the polar fleece trackies (I have a pair too!!) and put on something that gives you a chance to have a 'play' in your wardrobe, to make yourself feel pretty/ stylish/ like a woman!
•  It's a time to celebrate and hopefully to embrace your body however you find it - post baby, young or old your body is lovely and functional and precious and I want this place to be a place for you to see other women (ordinary, beautiful women) who don't live in designer homes on designer budgets with designer bodies.
