Weekend Fun times

I hope you've all had a super fun weekend, mine has been pretty amazing! I had my hair cut and coloured and got new green extensions, had lunch with Ria and another friend Alice and then Emi and I went to a belly dance class with Wellington Pink Ladies which was heaps of fun - I used to do belly dance YEARS ago and the class made me seriously consider if I should go back to it.

Finally we rounded off the evening with a dinner with our friend Ross and we watched "The Grey"  which was really good as well! I'd recommend it - the scenery in Alaska was so beautiful (at times, other times it was incredibly bleak!).

Today was a stunner of a day and in the morning Rich and picked up a couple of bagels and headed out to Otari-Wilton Bush to eat some lunch in the sunshine and have a walk.








Made-by-me May has been pretty well, but I am now coming to the conclusion I really need to make more things to wear! I was hoping to make something this weekend but I was just so busy. I must try and get started on a project this week.

But I did at least try to adjust my maxi frock that I made to wear in Asia at the start of the year to the Wellington Autumn. I'm not sure if I quite pulled this look off though - again I think the shoes look a little weird. What do you guys think? I'm still a little unconvinced I can wear this dress in the cooler Wellington weather!

Hope you all had a super weekend xoxo

Hurray! For some reason my browser has been crashing every time I tried to load your blog this week, so I'm excited to be here, lol.

I always love seeing the pics from your walks, you have the most beautiful scenery around! I really like the outfit as well - I actually really like it with those shoes!

I'm so jealous of your weekends, they always sound amazing

Beautiful countryside (though somehow that doesn't seem the right word for that scenery - too English!)
I think the dress looks fine layered up with a jacket and boots - maybe it feels weird because it isn't a look you're used to? Or would you feel more comfortable with a darker colour/heavier fabric for winter? Keep experimenting, it's the only way to work out what you like and you might surprise yourself! (That's what I tell myself anyway, despite my many mistakes!)
Love the new extensions! xxxx

I agree with Pastcaring, I would keep trying the dress with different tops and jackets and shoes. I am impressed with your efforts in MeMadeMay - I just don't have time to sew much when working full time. Glad you had a lovely weekend ;-)
