C and I stopped at Nanna's yesterday before my drawing class for afternoon tea (see above). I spotted this skirt in the window and thought it was beautiful and one of a kind. I love a good swishy skirt. The shoes don't really go with the rest of the outfit, but most of my shoes are red. Today I'm feeling a bit rough (aches and pains), but I'd like to go to Spotlight to buy some fabric and fun craft supplies before work. They've sent me a ridiculous amount of coupons lately - I've still got a $10 off coupon from my birthday. I keep adding DIY projects to my Pinterest, but never attempting any!

This has been my easy uniform lately. I didn't pay more than $10 for any of the items in this outfit except my shoes. Not a bit of vintage, most things from department stores. I was standing in some fairly substantial rain at the time. C had an umbrella over the camera. I like easy outfits, something you know that works that you can just throw on.

Tonight I'm thinking about going to see The Hunger Games again and making a laksa. I always feel like laksas in wet weather. Tomorrow is a public holiday and I'm going to veg around at home making and watching stuff.

Ps. My garden needs weeding.
