Frumpy Friday.

Why Frumpy Friday?

Why am I not celebrating the fact that the weekend is so close everyone can smell it.

Because lets face it, I don't have the energy to sum up the energy to get excited over the weekend.

Its been an exhausting flat out week, I feel like the kids have run emotional ring around me, I was sick all day yesterday, I had blood tests this morning that resulted in 4 collapsed veins, spearing a needle straight through one vein and resorting to sucking out my blood with a syringe rather then letting it flow like they normally do, because apparently my blood just stopped? God for all I know it was boycotting, probally felt like a lunch break, we had worked the bastard the 30mins, next time I'll send it a memo letting it know it had a duty to keep moving.
Fingers crossed the doctor havested enough, because the junkie look just isn't in this season I'm pretty sure.

So my choice of clothes today reflect my rather sombre, I really don't care kind of mood today.

• My Big W skinny leg jeans, which I seriously think the seam at the back in coming apart so their ready to retire,
• My Blinded By Youth T-shirt from Zara, I love this shirt, not only for the fact that it so damn quirky but because it has a zipper on the front, side ways!
• My black asymmetrical cardigan from cotton On, because that breeze this morning was chilly.
•  The good old Mambo Thongs, Just incase the weather warmed up.
•  Fav Sunnies by Ruby, to hide the bags under my eyes

So Whats Your Frumpy Friday Look Like?

Changes.

As winter approaches I'd been determined to do a wardrobe overhaul of last years winter clothes to see what fits, considering we lived in winter clothes in Victoria surely there couldn't have been that much right?
well I proved myself wrong (that had to be a first) after my brutal overhaul Miss Moo had nothing,
I mean not even a pair of tracksuit pants left, bugger.

So on my child free day I've been leisurely trawling the op shops for little items here and there, until the stores have there winter sales, and decent warmer cloths.

Now my daughter and I never seem to see eye to eye on anything, but one thing I never get wrong is her taste in clothes, maybe because we are so alike, but it wasn't until the other day when she insisted on wearing one of the ensembles I'd brought home (I'd seen two separate outfits when I purchased it, but she managed to make it into one, go figure) that I realised theres no more puppies, fairies and pixie dust for her any more, it was all floral prints, demin, sequins, and lace, she was growing up and so was her sense of fashion.

Ladder Restoration Progect

Ever since these came out I fell in love with both their design and functionality, they fit perfectly in any room in the house as extra practical storage, show case storage for nic naks or just because there awesome. Those who know me well enough would just say I'm biased as I love anything wooden but when I seen this at the markets words need not be exchanged between Ron and I, just a single nod from across the parking lot. With the help of my loving hubby who has kindly offered to add another step, I'll sand her back with the care and tenderness she deserves, and varnish her once I'm done. Although this is a smaller version of what I would love to have in my house hold (to which my hubby confesses he has at his parents that he built in tech during high school ) I still see so much potential for photography session, pot plants, herbs, smaller lounge room, bedroom, displays, front door shoe stool, so many uses....
