Super Sunday - Lady in Vintage Red...

Well winter is well and truly on the way... It was raining hard and I was happy to have the chance to finally wear this dress...  I LOVE this dress, the colour, the long sleeves, the high neck and the fabric.  I'm not sure how old it is but I was lucky enough to have been given this by one of my Nanny's... What do you think?
 



I also thought there are a few ways I could wear this dress... like one dress, three ways...
 
Mix-mash!  With my TCD black Nautical dress...



And... with my $5 vintage polka dot over vest.  I love this vest but I've never worn it yet... All of a sudden... light bulb!
I think it looks fab with this dress...

 


You know, to be brutally honest since I switched jobs I've been having a bit of trouble with my personal style... its frustrating, especially after finally becoming comfortable with it when I was at school.

Last week I was super lucky to be on the receiving end of a wardrobe clean out of a super generous, friend and colleague. I was astounded at the beautiful clothes that she was getting rid of... I love them and I'm going to do some post's called "Hand-me-over lovelies" which will be all about the stunning clothes that  I have been lucky to be given lately. 
Exciting!!! 

I'll keep you updated with my style dilemma as well, I'm hoping to get over that fairly soon, but with a change in season, comes another new change in wardrobe as well... plus I have way too many clothes and now I have no room in my wardrobe!  How can I have so many clothes and constantly have nothing to wear?!

My toes are freezing, I'm going to bed but I know there are a couple of little lumps there already.... My kids are my own personal bed warming hotties.

I have another shoot coming up soon, I'll let you know all about it...

Super Sunday... At Last...


Yes, I know its been such a long time since I've done a Super Sunday post... BUT listen up because I'm about to hit you with a seriously personal experience... good... and bad!

THE BAD: So... the honest truth? I stopped posting Super Sunday's because I felt I had put on too much weight... and I felt my curves were turning into one big curve, you know... kinda like a beachball (lol)...

THE GOOD: Anyway, on June 14th I started an amazing programme, a holistic approach to weight loss that focus's on physical, mental and emotional well being.  I'm not going to get into all the details because it's a whole other story... infact, its probably a whole other blog... but I want to share with you that in the last 6 amazing weeks I have lost 15.5kg's!!! (thats around 34 pounds!)




I'd never want to be super teeny-skinny (ie. Posh-Spice), for me that would be plain un-natural, besides I love being curvy, it's part of what makes me a woman, and we women are amazingly awesome!!! 
But today is the first time in aggggggeeess that I have wanted to do a Super Sunday post...
So here it is... Super Sunday, I hope you enjoy it...
  







Dress: TCD dress as worn in this post.
Shoes: my new, super gorgeous Sweedish Hasbeens sky high t-bar clogs... they arrived in the post last week from Modcloth, so dreamy and comfy. Yep I got it bad with this pair, seriously shoe-smitten!!!
Bag: a beautiful vintage thrift shop score $2
Scarf: Pure silk Garage sale score 50c



 It's really very annoying that some of my favourite clothes are now too big, BOOOOO!!!! However I can now properly fit into more of my gorgeous vintage dress collection that have been sorrowfully stored in my wardrobe for a wee while now, WOOHOOO!!!!!

Hope you are feeling as awesome as I am...
