Stripes, coral and for good measure, a bit of lace.

Lace skirt with striped top

Simply Sassy Style:

WHEN: 
September 26, 2013 : Thursday

THE MAIN ATTRACTIONS:
Top : Contempo (This season)
Skirt : Truworths

THE BASICS:
Kitten heels - Can't remember where I got them

THE FINISHING TOUCHES:
Pendant : Mr. Price
Watch : Tempo - Taryn was going to give it away, so I nabbed it for myself, because she does not wear yellow gold.
Sunnies : Feebies with the latest Fairlady magazine ;-)


THE DAY PLAN : The weather bureau threatened that the temps today would rise 32⁰C and that had me in a quandary as far as what to wear.  I decided that since I intended to be indoors most of the day anyway, I'd be able to handle this outfit, since the top is 97 % polyester and 3% elastaine, its really not the thing to wear out in the heat.  But since all I did in the outdoors was walk to my car and back, it was totally bearable.

I worked on module 3 yesterday, but when I uploaded the images, the colours looked really off, so I spent this morning re-reading some of the module and then went about taking the photos this afternoon.

Jarod and I went off half way through and did the dinner shopping and then he took me for coffee.  I think he was feeling a little lonely because Liam has been at his friend since yesterday.

We came home and I'd just got back to work when the little man arrived.

THE VERDICT : I bought the t-shirt last month from money given me for my birthday.  I like the additional coral and mint stripe at the top.  I have not worn this skirt in a while and thought I'd give the stripes of the top and the lace finish of the skirt a try together and I liked how it looked.

Sunday Stuff

Stripes on Monday

Yesterday was Sunday

I started the morning helping Schatz spread lawn dressing in anticipation of Spring.  I love a thick green lawn so we've started watering and feeding and the dressing is the last of it - except for the continual watering.

I then spent some time puttering around on the pc and then my little guy Liam and I had a coffee date.  We went down to M&B and ended up sharing a caramel chocolate cake and milkshakes. 

It was pretty warm yesterday so I wore my high-low dress, boots and a cardigan. 

Details : Dress : Mr Price | Boots : Rage | Belt : Woolworths | Cardigan : Truworths | Necklace : Woolworths

My cute boy was also wearing purple and we had a pleasant hour or so alone having our cake and eating it and then we did some shopping.

I do so love this dress and I think once the high-low hem is totally a 'no-no' I'll cut it into a straight hem.  I just love the comfy t-shirt material and print of it.

A casual outfit



I haven't posted an outfit post in what feels like forever.  One of the reasons in that I've been wearing a lot of jeans since I'm at home and then on the days I've thought the outfit was worth photographing, I just did not getting around to taking pictures.  But today, as I stepped a little out of my new comfort zone, I thought I should share this outfit.  I wanted to wear something besides jeans or leggings and that's when inspiration struck - shorts with tights seemed like a pretty good idea to wear at home and also for running errands, without looking too tatty.  I'm considering wearing this out to Saturday lunch with a low heel or booties - I think I could pull that off.  I like that I could also wear this top with a number of my skirts and wear it tucked in or out and I think it would great with my skinny jeans as well.





The deets : Top : PQ Outlet | Belt : Woolworths | Shorts : Fashion Express | Tights : Woolworths | Pumps : Truworths \ Infinity bracelet : Kay Jewellers (a birthday gift from my sweet daughter Taryn)

Kay Jewellers - Infinity Bracelet

Isn't it gorgeous.  I had sent her an image asking if she could find an infinity symbol on costume jewellery but she said she could not, so she bought me the bracelet I sent as an example.  I adore it.  Thank you Miss Tanna.

Taryn and TJ are doing an engagement shoot this weekend.  I do hope that they're blessed with a magnificent sunset and a little breeze.

In other news - tomorrow my youngest officially becomes a teenager.  I can't believe it.  He's away on school camp and we're not sure if we'll be able to wish him for his big day.

  

I had a total hissy fit today!  I was working on my other Photography site and did a ton of work - at least 5 hours of it when suddenly the entire folder disappeared.  Well, I blew a gasket when the tech support at my host told me to calm down and proceeded to laugh at me.  I was put on hold for more than 5 minutes and then just killed the call.  I later got an email telling my problem had been resolved, however, my entire wordpress/prophoto site is gone.  I've asked that they restore it with their backup to what was there last night and am hoping that when I get up in the morning my site it there.  However, it seems that all my work from today is gone.  I'm reading up on how to backup my site locally in future - but then of course I'll need to remember to do it whenever I change something just to be safe.  I've raved about my hosting company often, who also happens to be our ISP, but since this is now the second time I've experienced this, my heart is a little sad and my faith in them is wavering.  So sad when a relationship of more than 5 years start to sour.
