beige is beautiful - no matter what they say.

Friday, April 20, 2012
Feeling much better today – hooray.  Will never be eating salmon again, that is a definite.
 
DELIVERY ALERT:

 
Contains – 1x Husk raw leather jacket in beige, and 1x White Suede peach mod stretch lace dress.  One what I hear you say?? OHH yes, I am yet to update you all with this purchase.  This is her:
So I stumbled across this beauty whilst in the midst of the ‘lace dress from Tumblr’ find I undertook the other day.  Although it was sadly not white and thus could not be included in the results, luckily for me it was peach and in my size and thus could be included in my personal spending as it is just gorgeous.  Found it on the White Suede website (http://www.whitesuede.com) in their sale section.. reduced from $420 to $199.  It was love at first sight...  I just had to have it.   And now it is here.  WOOT.  I think it’s first outing can be for my birthday, which is just over a month away.  IT IS ALMOST MY BIRTHDAY.
Apart from that – no new news on the spending front.  Checked out the Gorman sale yesterday from the comfort of the couch, and was almost tempted to snatch up the following gorgeous linen shift dress:
As it is on sale for a teensy little $70.  BUT, in a rare display of restrainment, I refrained.  It is coming up to winter, and I just don’t think there will be any nice weather wear worthy moments coming up anytime soon, and then by next summer I will be so over it.  Even if I have never worn it.  That is just the way my mind works unfortunately.
Todays outfit:





So today I wanted to introduce the vintage brogues which landed on my desk the other day.  They are really gorgeous, but are such a pale beige colour that it is actually proving quite tricky to find things to match them with… when I have to team them with black pants.  If you were to insert blue jeans into the above outfit – the overall result would be a vast improvement.

Anyway – outfit includes: Bettina Liano white and cream lace tank ($20 Bettina Liano sample sale), worn under a light beige Witchery woollen draped cardi ($NO IDEA had it for ages.  Never really wear it and just decided to put it on today.  I do feel a bit too matchy matchy.. but thems the breaks) and then just for a bit of added interest I also added the Museum beige fur vest ($80 eBay – yes I am trying to include this beauty in just about every outfit as I am so in love this its furry creamy goodness. Again – as if I could wear real rabbit fur to work at a Pet retailer – so, coming off).  All worn over the Levis ‘not so wetlook anymore thanks to overwear and wash fade’ jeggings (think it is definitely time for a new pair) and then finished off with the vintage brogues.  Whoever said beige was boring?

NOT ME.
 
Have a fabulous weekend findettes – shop up a storm, and then don’t forget to share your purchases! Head to the Dion Lee sample sale, Marcus B is also sample saling it up and then dont forget to check out Gorman.  Unfortunately for me, there will be no shopping this weekend.  Bright is not the fashion capital of North East Victoria, surprisingly enough.
