Dressember day 16 & 17

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. 



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

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



No outfit repeats yet!

Dressember day 15

Dress from TopShop & sweater from Glassons.

It was a difficult day today. 

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

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. 

 

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!

365 in 2011 - double edition

Sunday
The epitome of lazy days. I was hungover and newly unemployed.


Monday
The first day back in the office, when we knew it wasn't going to turn out well.


Tuesday
I have no idea what the graffiti near my house says, but I like the look of it.


Wednesday
"Solace of the Wind" statue and his yarn-bombed ensemble.


Thursday
Walking home, rather late.


Friday
Heading to Auckland, heading into the sunset.


Saturday
Whenever I'm in Birkenhead I like to stop by the ferry terminal at night, there's a great view back to the city.


Sunday
The guest bedroom at my in-laws place is under an arch overgrown with vines. I love it.


Monday
We visited the newly opened Auckland Art Gallery. One of my favourite pieces was this one, Crystal Enclosure by Alan Sonfist.


Tuesday
Auckland was just a brief visit for my father-in-law's birthday.


Wednesday
The first day I really felt unemployed. Not even strawberries cheered me up.


Thursday
I felt invincible. I hauled our tree up from the garage, constructed, and decorated it. All by myself. Lights and everything.


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


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

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.
