fashion find it for you: the joy of ironing, Ricki Lee and todays outfit

Last night was super exciting. And I am being serious. Last night – I IRONED.

So the actual process of ironing is not the exciting part; in all honesty I think ironing is just as much fun as going and getting a wax. But, just as waxing is a necessity so too is being up to date with your ironing basket. This was mine before I started.

OH. Not fun.

But – the thing with ironing is that it’s benefits most certainly outweigh the physical act of completing the task. YES it is tedious and boring and god who can be bothered ironing shirts BUT my wardrobe literally doubles after a good bout of ironing.. it is like I received a whole new bunch of parcels in the mail as there are items in there that I haven’t seen in weeks. Electric blue Saba cropped pants? Found! Mustard longline Witchery shirt? OH that’s where you have been hiding. It is simply amazing. Anyone who knows my wardrobe can tell when an ironing frenzy has taken place, as all of a sudden my wardrobe selection is once again interesting and inspired, and there is a definite spring in my step. Here is my basket after last night’s mammoth efforts:

Okay so I know it is still rather full (but it is at least all folded much more neatly than before) but the items in there will not be getting a look in anytime soon. Remaining are silk maxi dresses, a linen sundress or two and quite a few items I probably won’t ever wear again but cannot yet bring myself to get rid of (embroidered Jen’s Pirate Booty boho shirt I am talking about you!).

Here is the high quality Freedom rack (if further clarification is required on the elements which make up the wardrobe room please see post entitled 'Wardrobe room ATTACKS' - very helpful in deciphering what on earth I am referring to) filled to the brim with amazingly crease-free items just waiting to be styled and worn:

FAB.

I like to think of myself as the multi-tasking queen – who can iron and watch the Voice simultaneously. Needless to say I was horrified with Joel’s terrible decision to send Mathalia Barnes home (the Voice became the Legs – I shan’t be watching anymore); which then gave me flashbacks to ANOTHER horrible moment in Australian musical-related reailty television when Ricki Lee was kicked off Idol (once again I revolted by not watching the show for a whole two weeks). And, speaking of Miss Coulter – hasn’t she come a long way from her Idol days. Who doesn’t love a good makeover, and that girl is looking amazing at the moment. Here are some before and after shots just to prove my point:

AFTER:

Hot. Plus I was totally loving her gold sequin blazer that she wore on the show last night – fashion find alert. I will hunt you down.

Okay – today’s outfit.

Thanks once again to the ironing frenzy – I found this long lost Witchery mustard draped rayon longline shirt ($35 in store Witchery on sale) – had been missing from the wardrobe rotation for about three weeks now. LOVE the shape of this baby; it is such an easy wear in this fabric and the colour is perfect for Autumn. I cinched it in with a Sportsgirl mixed tan skinny belt ($20 in store Sportsgirl), just to liven things up a bit. The above is worn over some Bettina Liano Ace black canvas pants ($50 eBay), and then finished off with the AHmazing $1.67 vintage tan clogs. TA DA. No coat – the weather is a little bit more on the friendly side today.

No deliveries as yet – but as there are quite a few outstanding items I presume the postman will be laden with goodies in this afternoon’s mail drop. OH MR POSTMAN….
