Fashionable Friday

I'm sure my loving and patient husband thinks I'm narcissistic.

Each time he uses our camera it has many, many of photos of me on it. In different outfits, in different poses.

It's ok, I say to him. It's for my blog.

Which, when I think about it, just confirms any narcissistic tendencies.

But really, I'm not doing it for me. I'm doing for everyone out there. It's a community service, I assure him. I'm trying to beautify the world.

Oh, that still sounds bad.

Well let's just ignore all that and get on with the task at hand, shall we?

Today's outfit for Fashionable Friday is actually from yesterday, as I've been a bad blogger and am posting this a day late.

It's one of my all time favourite outfits too. You know that no-brainer type of outfit, the fall back one, that you don't even have to think about. That's what this one is.



It's just a simple black sheath dress that I've had for years, that I team with different tops to mix it up a little.



When I spend my day chasing this gorgeous little monster around, I usually wear black ballet flats with it and it's an outfit that is just so comfy yet still stylish.

But when I go out to the store, or to take the kids to school, I slip on a pair of killer heels and voila, instant elegance (and a little bit sexy too! hehehe).


Red is a colour I just love to wear. It's bold and confident and never ceases to make me feel like I can take on the world.

And the pearls? Well, they add a just bit of old world glamour.

There needs to be more glamour in a dreary world.



And there certainly needs to be many more kisses from cute guys like this.

Fasionable Friday

Ok, so we've had the ode to the 1950's, now we're moving on to the 1960's!

Yeah, baby!



(trying out my model poses for you all. Anyone know a good modelling agency? I'm the next Cindy Crawford, you know. What? Don't laugh, I so could be. Stranger things have happened.)


This is my modern take on a 1960's look. All I need now is for Woodstock to be revived, I'm ready to get groovy, man.

I did wear this particular dress to a concert starring a plethora of fabulous and famous aging 60's Motown singers, but it was teamed it with a pair of very high heeled, retro looking, knee high brown leather boots instead of the wedges I'm wearing here.

It was a decision I regretted.

But on the upside, I did get a lot of compliments that night. (hehehe!)



During this particular modeling session, someone decided to crash the photo shoot, so I couldn't resist including him here.



Is that an uncomfortable smile I see from Kaiden?

"Mum, you're embarrassing me in front of the whole of the world wide web".


What else are mums for, darling?

Fashionable Friday

Who says being a Stay At Home/Work At Home mum, means you must look frumpy?


(Pose much?)

My mission is to inspire women of the world to dress to make themselves feel good.

I love dressing up, it makes me happy and picks me up when I feel down or stressed. It gives me confidence, and I love the smile on my husbands face when he comes home to a pretty wife!



And special thanks go to my little assistant Charlie, who chose the fabulous red shoes this morning, which I then based the whole outfit around.
