Oh, Sarah-Rose

Cashmere sweater and sheer midi skirt because Wellington has decided that it s NOT summer. 

And finally?

Favourite LBD for New Years Eve. 

Don’t tell Amy but chances are that, come tomorrow, I will be found wearing jeans or shorts. Weather dependent. 

Purple flowers for a boring day of errands.

White t-shirt and sheer midi skirt.

Today? today we spent an hour at the travel agency. Craig and I are planning a European Excursion for April/May 2012. I am ever so excited. We just need to work out the … employment side of things and then we’re going to book!

So so excited.

Linen mini skirt, white cami, & a faux miu miu jacket printed with birds. 

BIRDS

My “I just blue myself” dress. 

I am so very very ready for Dressember to be over. Not because I wouldn’t be wearing dresses but because, oh lord, it has been agony stuck taking these terrible photos every day. Don’t even get me started on posting them here. I hate myself SO MUCH. 

Purple dress from Forever 21 Hawaii for Christmas day. 

I inadvertently matched both my xmas present from my adorable husband AND my lovely mama’s xmas table colour scheme. I love matching. 

Sheer black shirt dress from Cotton On – perfect for two Boxing Day events. More food! More sun! More cider!

Blue and white stripes from asos

I found a dress I’d completely forgotten about – a brief reprieve from repeats. I’d forgotten about it because, honestly, I don’t really like it. 

Annoyingly enough I received … many compliments on this dress. From twitter, from my husband, from the girl at my coffee shop, it was baffling. 

I still don’t like it. 

 
 
 

Christmas Eve
pre-supermarket coffee / presents finally all wrapped / local art in the xmas spirit / lunch at Beach Babylon / hanging on the sand / priority: don’t get the tattoos sunburnt / finishing the evening with Christmas movies & wine.

Purple flowers.

A day spent in either the supermarket or the kitchen.
I made: chocolate candy cane (salted) brownies, mushroom and walnut pate, and peppermint bark.

Blue on blue dress from Cotton On. So comfy.

My first dress repeat. I would feel disappointed if I did not feel quite so useless. 

Either way, this was the perfect outfit for how I spent most of my day.

Striped low back shirt & sheer pleated midi skirt. 

Today Wellington was beautiful but the wind was bitter. Warm enough that my jackets all felt too heavy, but too cold for short sleeves. This outfit was perfect for doing all all all of my Christmas shopping. 

Watercolour cami by Portmans, linen mini skirt by Glassons. 

I am coming dreadfully close to repeating dresses. Or entire outfits. I could always just make like Amy & start wearing very-much-evening dresses in the middle of the day. But … I guess we’ll see tomorrow. 
Tomorrow I have to do all of my Christmas shopping & I can’t think of a single dress I own & have not already worn that will suit. 

I think this is the epitome of a #firstworldproblem. I am ridiculous. 

Portmans lace insert jumper & cotton on sheer black skirt.

Summer is still not playing along. I am mad at the weather in New Zealand. But! Seeing as how I’ve decided that I am officially on holiday until the new year, this was the perfect excuse to spend the day watching The Wire.

I may be late to the bandwagon but damn if I am not jumping straight on.
