what i wore: striped flowers




JAY JAY'S dress; JEANSWEST cardigan; DIVA rosary, starburst ring, and stone ring, LOVISA gold bar ring, BLING snake ring; GLASSONS red jewel ring, THE WAREHOUSE tights


my check list for getting dressed for a family lunch on sunday included something comfortable and cute. it did not, however, include something weather appropriate. and i didn't expect to be walking around in the cold and rain when i was getting dressed either. needless to say, i was freezing. it didn't help that i paired this with some rather thin tights and ballet flats. the big winter coat i wore did nothing.

i bought this dress sometime last year, and i remember having to try on about 4 different sizes before i found one that worked. the sizing from store to store is ridic. i ended up buying this dress in a NZ size 10 (US6/UK10) and getting a shirt dress in an XL, all from the same store. I'm not sure if it's the sizing at the store or if i'm just super disproportioned, but it does make shopping a bit of a hassle at times.

i love the skirt part of the dress, but i'm not a huge fan of the top. I have a few dresses like that, t-shirt type on top and flowy skirt on bottom...they are some of the least worn items in my wardrobe. not sure why i keep buying them when i don't wear them.

the cardigan gets a lot of wear, it's super soft and comfortable, but OH SO big. it was the last one in the store, and either an XL or XXL, but at $20 i couldn't resist it.

the rings are my favourite part. i'm so addicted to buying rings lately, i have well over 50 i'm sure. the red one was purchased a couple of days before and was $3 with a BOGO, so i bought it in a blue-green as well. in fact all the rings were $3 except the snake one, which was around $5 i think.

i don't have a proper picture of the rosary, but it is, without a doubt, one of my favourite things ever. i became obsessed with crosses after buying one of the double finger cross rings, and have slowly added to the collection. only problem with the necklace is it likes to break, but it's an easy fix so i keep on wearing it.

i am in dire need of a hairstyle. i need to go get it thinned out and trimmed, something i never remember to do. also thinking about ditching the pink. i've had it for a little over 2 months now and at first i thought about changing it to purple, but i'm keen to go back to all red. i touched up my roots the other night with a different colour than my norm and it came out brown with a red tinge. not pleased, took me well over a year to get the perfect red colour. any hairstyle suggestions? i don't want to go short, i've been growing my hair out from a short, choppy angled bob for 3 years now, so i def want to keep it. it needs something before i take the scissors to it out of boredom.
