Dressember day 16 & 17

How is it even this dark?? #dressember day 16 (no repeat yet!)

Grey & black mottled dress (2 sizes too big, it's pinned to keep it up) and a cardigan because New Zealand apparently doesn't believe in Summer. 

A wrinkled skirt for #dressember day 17

Knit & lace jumper from Portmans, striped skirt from farmers, & my favourite leather jacket. 

Wrinkled skirt, dirty jumper, & last night's hair. Hungover Saturday. 

Why won't my fringe ever stop growing?

No outfit repeats yet!

Dressember day 14



Chandelier t-shirt & a linen mini skirt. 

Today I spent the afternoon with Andy drinking coffee & putting the world to rights. We didn't get very far.

Dressember day 13

Classic. Far too short for #dressember day 13. I'll put tights on if I leave the house!

An all too short Supré dress for a housewifely day.

Today I learnt that, pretty surely, being a housewife is not for me. Today I had nothing nothing nothing at all to do. So I did laundry, cleaned the kitchen, shopped for and cooked dinner for my husband. 
I did not enjoy it all that much. 

So in protest, during it all I watched a series by Richard Dawkins on religion (shock!) called "The Root of All Evil?" then "Paradise Lost 1: the Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills" about the West Memphis Three. 
Excellent documentaries both. I highly recommend them. 

Just realised I'm watching Dawkins while sitting with my jesus pillow! #lovedawkins

Dressember day 12

Looking very officious for #dressember day 12

Dress from Cue, jacket from Portmans.

It was an official looking morning, I had an appointment to sign back up with my temping agency (sigh) and I always feel more competent if I look ... like this.

However, I am not as dedicated as Amy and this is the first of three outfits today. They are all dresses (PROMISE!) but the other two will not be photographed. I am lazy.

Also, I got to play photographer today!

I lovelovelove this graffiti-ridden building on lower Cuba street.

The weather was beautiful. I took my book to Civic square and lay on the grass under the shade of a tree.

Ridiculous hair

Dressember day 11

Cashmere sweater & miniskirt. Classic NZ summer. #dressember day ... 11?

Heart jumper from ASOS, black linen mini skirt from Glassons.

A classic Wellington summer day. Too cold for a t-shirt, too warm for layers. Sweater and skirt is the only way.
