I'm Having an All-Over Body Experience

Taken two days ago, these pics show you what I wore to do my mama/wife/carer/household/me jobs around and about town.
Ummmm ... I really have no words to describe or explain this outfit.
But it made me feel happy.
Period.
I should probably just shut up and leap into a giant vat of glitter.
If only I could find one.


Pink and orange star necklace - made and gifted by the pink-tastic Krista
Sequin beret, skirt (with a bit of DIY by me), bead necklace, earrings, bangles, granny bag - thrifted
1950s cardigan - Camberwell Market, Melbourne
Tights - Sock Dreams
VW Melissa Lady Dragon Ball shoes - shopped by scrumptious Suzanne
T-shirt - Madonna.com sale


The Stylist's 3D glasses will just have to do until I find a pair of star sunnies as good as Bootsy Collins'.

That gorgeous pocket-rocket, Citizen Rosebud, has put the call out to open the velvet drapes on our favourite, awesome, original and creative style-bloggers.
Have you met Rhia of Evil Dressmaker yet?
She made this absolutely incredible 30s-style frock from a curtain!


And what's she wearing underneath?
A romp-worthy 1930s silk slip crafted by Rhia's own fair hands!
Incredible or what?!!


How about this tunic?
Also made out of a curtain.
I think Rhia and I would have a ball hanging out, checking out the summer festivals in Finland, sewing some out-of-this-world gear and drinking copious amounts of tea.
She's a woman who celebrates her own true style at full-tilt:).


So pop over and check out Rhia, oh and give her an arse-squeeze from me!
I love this mini-revolution we're having, I think I need to share another one of my favourite bloggers next time.
Stay tuned horn-bags!!!
Baci,
Desiree xoxo

  5. Yes, the evil dressmaker rocks! Love her style. My assistant and I have been talking weddings since we went to the one on Saturday and think volcano glitter headpieces would be perfect for her wedding(whenever that is). Remote control of course.

  7. I always love to see you rocking that shiny skirt, it's one of my most favourite things you own (but I say that about most of your wardrobe).
    A fabulous outfit needs no words, explaining it takes away the magic!
    Bootsy is a splendid style icon, check out those wrist cuffs, yes please!!! She made that dress? I think I'm too embarrassed to say hello with my amateur antics!

  12. I envision you in a 1950's movie synchronized swimming scene, starring yourself naturally, but you are swimming in a pool of glitter. Your outfit made me happy this morning. Thank you!! I must check out the fabulous Rhia - Evil Dressmaker.

  19. You make me happy just wearing that skirt and those tights. I just went into the Sock Dreams store front here in Portland and bought some new socks for the UK, one pair says BITCH I figured it's perfect for jumble sales. I will give this gorgeous Rhia a look her clothes and style are so pretty! I can't believe she made those OUTTA curtains!
    Stay just as you are or change...I love you!
    XXOO
