So May 20, last thursday, marked the twelth year since my mum died. Pretty crappy. I thought about wearing all black, but it didn't appeal to me in the end. I remembered feeling like my body was aching and bruised, there was so much grief that day, and for a long time afterward. I still got upset explaining it to someone at work. So in the end I went for a black and blue look. Here tis:
The skirt still won't upload, but anyhoo. It's black. Perfect. Will cry when it dies. From Kmart around three years ago. Blah.
Dash Lace-Up Brogue in Black from Sportsgirl
Black button-back shirt - Sportsgirl
See? I'm totally loving shirts that button up at the back. Maybe a flashback to my brief stint in year 11, where are senior uniform included a white shirt that buttoned up at the back and had a peter pan collar. Sigh. I wonder where I can get one now?
This baby was from a St Vincent De Paul's op shop near my house. I believe it cost me around $8? I bought it when the 'shirt as a dress' craze began. Knowing they probably wouldn't make decent ones in my size, I decided to shop op shops for oversized or mens button up shirts. The trend sort of passed. But this bad boy is still being worn. You can't tell, but it's not quite pinstriped. The 'stripes' are actually a series of links that form a stripe.
The beanie is from H&M in Manchester. I miss it soooo much. Especially as H&M has no online store.
The cardigan won't work, either, but it's from Cotton On. And it already has a hole under the arm. NOT HAPPY. But it's cute and my sewing kit will make it better.
