30.8.11

Outside my comfort zone.

I’ve talked before about not being much of a dress wearer, but things seem to be changing.

outfit

I’ve been searching for more dresses. Trying different styles, different colours…

…we’re off op-shopping today, before Cam’s sister comes & raids my local haunts, & I’m wearing… pink.

Pink!

I got this cardi because it was EXACTLY the same colour as a pair of boots I ended up getting for my birthday instead of a bicycle (long story). Mind you, the boots need breaking in so I’m not wearing them for a long walk down the street.

I’ve never, ever been a “pink girl”, so this feels a bit weird but at the same time super girlie, I can pretty much guarantee I won’t be filling my wardrobe with pink things anytime soon, but it is nice for a change.

Do you ever vary from you self-prescribed fashion uniform & try new things?

    Excuse me commenting on my own post, but... HOW MASSIVE DOES MY EAR LOOK? What's with that... do I have massive ears?! I had no idea!

    *coughs*

    Carry on.

    How gorgeous are you?!!!!!
    Brilliant photos Vic - i'm not a pink person either! But i love wearing cardies all the time - usually grey or aqua or stripped...and live in jeans. I want to break out like you are, with trying new things. Loving shift dresses over jeans look - just need to find the dresses!XX

    What big ear? You are iased, lovey. The ear looks fine.

    You look mighty purty in pink I must say. I am the same. No t apink girlie but I do have a bit in my wardrobe. 2 years ago I didn't wear brown and now I have a lot of brown in my wardrobe and am finding myself looking at colours and styles that I never would have thought would have interested me. Keeps life interesting. Mid-life crisis for me. What's your excuse, you young thing?

    I am same- recently added 4 things with pink (tiny steps) black campers with hot pink straps, beige campers with musk heels and straps, a hot pink Safari necklace and a soft pink undertop for grey striped tunic. My other half keeps checking my temperature.
    I am thinking of shaking it up in other ways. Thing is I am not skinny and for larger women they like to sell us black or ridiculously bright solid blocks of colour. Hard to get a range. So to the sewing machine to find some new options.

    Great pics Vic and nice combo too. It's good to switch it up - I do it sometimes, but not often enough. Happy opping!

    Good on you Vic, you look glorious! I love the frock- I reckon you are converted to dresses and come Summer will wonder what you wore before.

    I wore a dusty pick dress to my mates wedding cos its her fave colour.

    The dress is gorgeous and I LOVE the cardigan. I normally have a fashion uniform of dress/skirt and top, normally with a cardigan and usually in this part of the world, thick black tights. I never normally wear jeans but I have just bought 2 pairs (mens 'cos womens never fit me due to hips/waist ratio) and I have been wearing them - even out of the house! There's obviously something in the air!

    Gorgeous pics! The colours look great on you. And I didn't even notice your ears till you pointed them out and even then they look perfectly normal to me.

    My god you're a stunning girl. Re rowl.
    and you look gorgeous all frocked up. love your outfit, and i agree, sometimes pink is nice for a change. I have a couple of pink things in my wardrobe would you believe that do see the light of day.
    xo
    PS I've been frocking up a bit too lately, like you out of comfort zone. perhaps we should make a pact with each other ...
