After reading the latest Fashionable & Fabulous Friday post my wonderful 'soul sister' made the following comment on Facebook :
Okay Ladies, I've decided that Leiani should democratize her Fabulous Friday feature by letting her readers (that's us!) suggest some FF looks... What say you? My suggestions: (1) Breakfast Club (80s inspired), (2) Sporty Look: Daggy or Glam...? Convert me!, (3) Ethnic/folk/a little earthly, (4) Take me to the Melbourne Cup for November, (5) if I were a special guest on Oprah, (6) if I had to read the evening news, (7) Grease Lightning!, (8) if I were the First Lady or in your case, the Fisk Lady (I am so funny!!!)
I just love this idea, especially as my wardrobe isn't exactly inexhaustable, and neither is my budget, so there will come a time when I've shown you everything I've got. Outfit wise that is.
I just love the time and effort my Soul Sister put into this list, and the diversity! Oh my what a challenge.
So interspersed amoung my regular Fashionable & Fabulous Friday clothes, I will attempt to create some of these interesting sounding outfits.
But there's a catch. Isn't there always?
I want you guys to play along too.
Now if you're the shy and retiring type then you can just add some more ideas in the comments section, or if you're bold and confident then get your camera out and pose away! Take pictures of your Fashionable & Fabulous Friday outfit and post it on your own blog (if you don't have one, you can always just email them to me to check out).
I'd love for Fashionable & Fabulous Friday's to become more interactive, and for me not to be the only one on this crusade to inspire women of the world to dress pretty to make themselves feel good.
Put on your glad rags, ladies, and smile!

Fashionable Friday
Yes, it's that time again. Fashionable Friday is here.
And this time, you're in for something a little bit different.
A departure from elegance, shall we say. Moving away from the feminine skirts and dresses I usually wear.
Today has now become Casual Friday.
As you can see. my trusty sidekick had to get in on the action.
You know how on the red carpet all those celebrities glibly recite all the items of designer wear they have on? I feel like I should be doing that too, as I walk down the terracotta tiled hallway that's currently badly in need of a vacuum and a mop.
(Perfect Stepford wife standards have been slipping around here lately. Really must get my act together).
Today I have on a pair of my oldest and most frayed jeans that have seen me through both good and bad times over the years.
Designer : Wrangler. One of the only designs that fit over my .... ahem... errr... 'curvy' bottom, yet fit snuggly around my much smaller waist.
The top is one that Del just this morning called my chain-mail. A metallic thread in loose weave material that's flowy enough to cover a slight muffin top when needed, but can sit off the shoulder to give it bit of an edge and not be too frumpy.
Designer : Hot Options (ie some crappy fashion school drop out who could only get a job designing for for a cheap chain store brand).
The blue singlet top I bought at the Hong Kong Ladies Market for next to nothing and that has been worn so much it's definitely seen better days. Shopping in HK is hilarious as it's the only time I have to buy clothes labelled 'Large'.
Here in Australia I'm a size 6, but I guess I'm considered fat by HK standards.
Designer : who knows? Would anyone lay claim to being a singlet designer anyway?
And although there isn't really a good shot of them, the shoes a really pretty yet comfortable pair of wedges, with lovely blue flower detail on top. I love it when something is pretty and comfortable, a rare combination when it comes to clothes.
Designer : As they were a gift from Indonesia I have absolutely no idea, but I love them.
So there you have it. Casual Friday.
And just to wrap up this post, here's a photo of how today's photo shoot ended.
Gotta love Friday photo cuddles.
