I bought this dress on my latest trip back to Newcastle - it's not a colour I'd usually wear but I am obsessed with the pattern and collar. It's very short and thus tights were necessary. I went to visit my friend Sara at her work yesterday and she pointed me to the 'Are You Wearing Pants?' chart on her office wall. No, I was not wearing pants - but this was a very rare occasion - I promise, I usually wear pants.

Lovely miss Small Catalogue posted about her dream hypothetical super groups today and I thought I'd share (one of) mine too. C says a real 'supergroup' would have musicians as well as singers, but whatever. I have a bit of an evolving 'Ultimate Dead Celebrity Supergroup' list that I'll have to share at another date (hint: it would be led by Jeff Buckley and Nina Simone).

Who would be in your ultimate supergroup?

+ dress; lil & i vintage, islington, shoes; minki, bow; gift from linsey, cape; target.

I haven't worn this dress in years because I thought it was too short. I've been reorganising my clothes lately and thought I'd try it on with stockings (they're like my security blanket). I love how over the top the sleeves, collar and lacing are. I'd like to try to imitate the pattern and make a few similar dresses in different colours and prints. I also love the fact that this house, and my last house both have 'steps to nowhere' in the backyard (yes I should weed my garden too).

I often make these lists. I am a bit list obsessive. However, I tend to shy away from conventional 'to-do' lists. I am bad at them. They make me feel bad, because there is so much expectation and I rarely tick enough things off to make it worth having written them. Sometimes I'd write things on my to-do lists that I'd already done, just so I'd have something to cross out. I often wonder what it would feel like to not feel guilty about all the things I'm not doing/haven't done yet. Peaceful I bet! I hope when I'm old I might get some sense of that feeling. In the meantime I will make these lists that make me feel good to write.

+ fun words i'd like to use more often (like salubrious and menagerie)
+ a 'mighty list' like this.
+ my favourite craft supplies (like tiny paintbrushes, post it notes and kraft paper)
+ a 'seen from the seat of my bicycle' list (like - man meditating at 8pm at fountain)
+ favourite sounds other than music (like wind chimes, seagulls at a distance, biting into an apple and cute tasmanian thunderstorms)
+ daily seen, heard and found lists
+ fictional characters i love (like amele, enid coleslaw and cybil crawley)
+ favourite scents (like fresh basil leaves, hot rooibos tea, coffee on c's breath and dried lavender)
+ at this moment lists (like - 1.35am, currently sitting at computer desk, c is getting ready for bed, thunderstorm outside, breaking bad & downton abbey watched this evening, fried rice eaten, cats squabbling, tired eyes).
+ a dead celebrity party and/or ultimate dead celebrity band
+ interesting strangers
+ all of the lists from this list

If you would like to write one of these lists, please do - I'd love to see your lists too :)
