Wednesday Wardrobe Challenge ???

Hey guys, I'm not quite sure what happened with Wednesday Wardrobe Challenge this week! My friend Kat usually sends out the challenge and then I upload it on facebook - but I didn't get a challenge from here this week. However, she is pregnant right now - so perhaps she has baby brain.

My own wardrobe challenge didn't quite work out this week - so I decided to "borrow" a challenge from elsewhere.

I noticed earlier this week that Olivia from Wait Until The Sunset was taking part in the Aussie Curves Challenges, so I figured I would join in as well - I'm kind of crashing the party, but I'm sure my Australian friends won't mind.

After all - last week the Daily Telegraph did decide that the country of Aus Zealand existed (at least for the purpose of the Olympics) so I'm sure my Aussie friends won't mind me joining in.

Anyway the challenge this week for Aussie Curves was boots - when I saw that I thought it would be a great chance to wear my brand new suede boots. However, overnight it completely poured down and it was still raining a lot this morning. I decided that even though I had waterproofed by suede boots, I didn't really want to push my luck and wear them out on a rainy day. Instead I decided to stick to my trusty old Doc Martins.

I really love this dress at the moment - It used to belong to my friend Hiliare, but she bought it to a clothes swap party and then it became mine!

My bone bracelet from Rich - plus another clothes swap score, my deer ring!

I love this little guy - I got him in an "owl & fox" swap I did on Craftster - I have shown you all the fox brooch I received before, but I am pretty sure that the owl is making his debut.

In case you couldn't guess - Rich was feeling in a rather artistic mood when he took these photos! Makes a nice change from the same old pose (or perhaps it IS the same old pose, just from a different point of view).

I hope you are all having a good week - I've been taking in some film festival films, catching up on study and of course working. Here's hoping for clearer skies so I can show you my new boots soon.

OUTFIT DEETS:

Boots - Bought in Seoul
Tights/belt/cardi - Glassons
Dress - Clothes Swap
Brooch - Craft swap
Bracelet - Gift from Rich
Ring - Clothes swap
Necklace - op shopped, Hospice Shop, Kilbirnie, Wellington

Wednesday Wardrobe Challenge: Bracelets and Bangles

This weeks Wednesday wardrobe challenge was all about bracelets and bangles - so lets start with the main event. When I'm at work I tend to prefer wrist cuffs to bracelets and bangles, mostly due to the fact its easy to type when you're wearing them. I spend a great deal of my work day behind a computer typing.

I also wore a lot of handmade jewellery this Wednesday - the skull cuff and black bracelet above are made by Vany, the wee fox brooch is from a recent swap and the chain and ribbon necklace is my own handiwork.

 I also wore my new winter boots this week - I was thinking I'd like another pair of boots in the winter and then these came up in my Avon brochure for a good price, so I snapped them up.

Here's the whole outfit - I've found I've been wearing a lot of brown lately which must be a winter thing!

Here's a wee bit of a close up of the fabric of the dress, its really quite pretty.

My hair is really starting to get out of control! I'm visiting the hair dresser not this coming weekend but the following. I kind of want to keep it longer, but I also want it to be a bit edgy and fun. Any suggestions?

Finally - Rich was being a bit silly when taking these photos and this was the result!

Wednesday Wardrobe Challenge - Hair & Make-up challenge

This week's wardrobe challenge was the hair and make-up challenge which basically meant do the opposite of what you normally do.I normally wear mascara and eye shadow every day - but I can't at the moment due to my eye virus.

So my make-up all week has been different to the usual - which worked out perfectly for the challenge.

I have a reverse mullet style hair style so its kind of hard to "style" it any differently, I could have straightened it, but then I don't have hair straighteners so it was out of the question.

Instead I decided to add a hair bow - I really want to get back into wearing hair bows more often.

I wore my biker boots again, tights with wee bows on them and my new (to me) animal print top. It's hard to tell in the photos but it actually has cheetah heads on it *rawr*

OUTFIT DEETS:

Hair bow - Calico Jacks, Wellington

Top & Boots - The Big Shwop

Scarf - Bought at Asian import store at Left Bank Arcade, Wellington (I can't remember the name of the store)

Dress (worn under top) - Pagani

Tights - Valleygirl
