The weather has taken a decide turn for the freezing this week; only last week Husband, Theodore and I were slow cooking in the oven that is our house, and this week we are rugged up in jeans and jumpers again{!!}, or rather, wool skirts if it is me. : D I quite like the cool weather, so I am as happy as a clam in my knit tops and long skirts.
This particular skirt always makes me feel like a librarian or a schoolmarm, so I paired it with my little brocade bow tie broach to complete the teacher~y look. And who can resist cute heels with bows on the toes to match? Certainly not me! I haven’t worn these shoes in ages because the heel needs reheeling, but I had to pop them on for today’s outfit.
I also happen to love this wreck of a shed building that is near our house. It’s part of a really old property that is being restored for historical purposes {I think it was one of the first houses in the Canberra/Queanbeyan area} and in the mean time it makes a beautiful backdrop. I don’t think I am trespassing when I go take photos ~ there are no locks on the gates or anything, you can just walk right in… But then again, I would probably still take photos even if there was; I just can’t resist gorgeous old characters like tumble~down houses!
Recently I got my hair cut for more a middy~like style and I am really loving the shorter length. I almost think that I can get away without pin curling it; it sort of looks vintage styled to me without the extra setting. Yay for curls! I gotta say that this is the first time I have really loved my curly hair. I always used to wish it was straight ~ I spent $300.00 on GHD straightener which I like, never, use now. Oh well. It was fun for a time to have it straight, but now I am all about the curls. : )
Whelp, I guess that’s my ramble for the moment; but I am curious, would you jump fences to get photos of abandoned houses? I think there is a fine line between admiring run down architecture, and breaking the law, and I know that quite a few well known bloggers jump fences, but I am pretty sure that no one I know would deliberately ignore “No trespassing” signs. I know I couldn’t! What do you think?
xox,
