degas in real life

shoes right one undone lol - tony biance [$30!!!], jeans - cheap monday, coat - red berry [$20!!!], tee - remember me, scarf and bag - vintaaaaage darling. don't call me a recessionista, but daaaymn thats a cheap outfit.

went to the ballet with the female members of the family, 5 of us, it was nice, and one freeze in particular looked like the most perfect painting that degas himself would've been proud. the nutcracker: the story of clara was so beautiful i loved every minute. I wore this great coat i picked up at the end of last winter for next to nothing, ace colour. and the shoes were my 'im halfway through exams fuck yes' present to myself. speaking of exams, last one this arvo, must fly. real and concrete chance of me failing it, i have an acute thoracic-lumber back strain [!] which, along with sub standard preparation ISN'T HELPING. BYE NOW.

thin captain crackers

eating brie on them
listening to augie march's song about them
life could be worse.

dress by cyn, blazer by lollipop, ruched leggings from supre, NEWish boots by EOS, broken ankle by me :P.

a legitimate excuse to bring a camera to work = opportunity for pics amongst all the pretty books. On the right we have the current affairs/environment/science section and on our left we have history. shot a few quick pics but i do actually work in this shop so not too many :(.
lighting was horrible so i had to edit a bit anyway.

aaaaand i have a exam in 4 hours, i should be in the procrastination olympics or something this is AMAZING. i mean im obvz just SO prepared...right...yeah...ok cya.

is how much my valleygirl version of this skirt cost me, which i bought a couple of months ago before resort had even shown. who knew. only outfit that ive documented involving said skirt is below, can't see it very well but meh, best i could do. the print is totally identical btdubzzzz.

so i'm back on the silver bandwagon as you may have noticed, and am enjoying cultivating my collection. i still wear gold sometimes but at the moment if i have a choice i got for silver.

this is making my bangle collection, which at some point got surprisingly large and colourful, a little superfluous. but i still wear them sometimes, it was the purchase of a watch that actually caused that.
i hate wearing bangles on my right hand if im going to be writing ie. to work or uni ie. half my life.

anyway, an insanely and unnecessarily large piece of what i like to call finger armour would make me exceedingly happy right now...like this perhaps...

and the point of this post is that these well known awesome girls have managed to find one each, all of which would fit the brief perfectly, except they're heinously too expensive.
