To start with, I've been playing around with obscuring the camera lens - today I tried it with a string of glass beads I got for a dollar at some markets a while ago... but because of the intense sun, the lighting freaked out a bit (as you can see) and scattered mini sunbursts everywhere - which is kind of cool, but not as in focus as I would have liked. What do you guys think?
More to the point - remember the oh so amazing skirt I said I got on my little market/op-shopping adventure last week (read about it HERE)? Well voila! Here it is. I don't think I've owned any long skirts before, but I'm pretty glad that this is the first one. It has the greatest vintage floral print of my life, I can do pretty much anything with it, and it has pockets.
It can also look like pants... sometimes:
Which makes me want to turn it into pants... but then I couldn't bubble-skirt it:
I swear on my head: no photoshop in those last two :O - this sun is so unseasonal.
I still haven't tried it as a dress or a hippie skirt - this needs to happen soon. This is worn with my favourite boots, a BONDS singlet top and a braided leather belt that I've worn to absolute death.
So if any of you are around Sydney, go to the Balmain markets on a Saturday and find Lynne Lade's stall - she has the most incredible selection of skirts like these, but all in one-of-a-kind fabrics. She also has the greatest high-waisted pants of all time :O I may have to go back and buy them all.
On that lovely note (just to make the post longer, you say), I would like to thank the gorgeous Miss Diana from over at FASHION PUPPET for awarding me the Sunshine Blogger Award, which I'm throwing in amongst some pretty flower-inspiration I've been meaning to post for a while:
And passing on the award to 6 of my favourite bloggers: HARLEQUINS PARTY, Spin Dizzy Fall, Not So Shy, BOYMOMENTS, Style Sparkles, and Too Many Tights.
on Bloglovin' if you like it!*love*

Love the skirt and especially the shoes!!!!
oh my, I am in love.
love the proportions of this outfit! & cool idea with the beads/camera lens, I'll have to try that out!
can we talk about that skirt? i wish i could swear, but it's so inappropriate upon a first visit to a blog, right? But anyway, that skirt is so fantastic in every way it makes me want to swear with both joy and jealousy (don't you dare make it into a pair of pants(i will cry)).
as for the camera effect: NEVER would have thought of that. I love clever ideas :-)
Both version of the skirt looks great on you!
Fabulous look!!
this skirt is amazing. i love the color <3
http://closetobsessions.blogspot.com
Woah! Every way you wore the skirt looks amazing! My favorite is probably the pants, or just as the long skirt..probably just because it's different. And very interesting what you did with the beads, I like!
Thank you so much for your comment, I'm so honored!
