I am actually more excited by the dress I am wearing in this outfit - its one of my "to do" projects from my January sewing goals. It's the tunic dress from my Sew La Tea Do sewing book.
Here's a close up of the fabric I made the dress from - it may have been designed with 5 year old boys pj's in mind. But I don't care! I think it's totally rad and I love my shark dress!
My non-pearl accessories for the day - lots of red to match the little red fish on the dress.
Red tights and white shoes seem to be just perfect with this frock!
So with all the recent eye drama I've decided to try and become much more of a lipstick girl, rather than an eye make up girl. This is the colour I've been wearing all this week - I kind of like the idea of having a signature shade of lipstick

Finally I want to have a wee round up of how I went on my January sewing goals, I am off on my trip tomorrow so there won't be any more sewing this month (well not the type of sewing that requires me to sit at my machine). I had four sewing goals - a maxi dress, dress for my cousins wedding a capelet and a tunic dress.This month I get 3/5 - the only thing I didn't make was a capelet - which means I will have to take an emergency scarf on my trip. But all in all I am pretty happy with my progress. I have included a photo of the maxi I made below. It's not an action shot - but I am sure you will see some holiday photos of me wearing this frock.
Like I said, I am off on my trip tomorrow - first stop is Christchurch to have brunch with Helga Von Trollop then its off to Kuala Lumpur! I will try and update when I can whilst I am away - but if things are a little quiet you will know I've either without the internet, exhausted or just having too much fun. See you all soon xoxo

Sharks and strawberries - a perfect combination! I love your dress and the red tights (having a red tights moment myself just now). And your gingham maxi looks wonderful, can't wait to see you wearing it.
