It was a such a beautiful day today, that is was perfect for playing photographer with the girls in the garden. There was lots of dressing up, hunting for fairies, playing skittles and then a little quiet reading. I’m still trying to perfect this hair style, but I’m finding it difficult to roll so much hair up effectively. It works well for a few hours, but then the weight of it with all the pins gives me a bit of a headache. So that one is still in practice mode till it can make its way to the Hair Tutorial section. I found this sweet jacket yesterday at the op shop for $4, and loved its styling and shape. I’m not entirely sure of it’s vintage, but the style and font on the label indicates it would be roughly late 1960’s to early 70’s.I sent Miss Four into the op shop with some money in her hand bag and it kept her both occupied and thrilled to be doing her own shopping. Is it cheating to turn shopping into a game? But think about it, for $10 I can entertain both of us for a good hour and still come home with a bag full of lovely things. Much better than a couple of turns on a grocery store ride.
Oh I remember this one lovely outfit and your hair is fab too!
Look at your hair! It’s perfect.
Mama, you always look perfect, and I must say that the lovely umbrella has stolen my heart!
You’re one of my fountains of inspiration!
Perfection.
Oh, this is lovely. You look like a heroine from The Great Gatsby or something-v cinematic
This is probably my favorite outfit of yours (so far). Everything is fantastic, especially your hair. And I love the gloves. Great touch!
I am in love with your parasol. Your hair and makeup are always perfect.

I do love the gloves and matching of short sleeve + wide leg trouser. Material looks very airy and comfortable – lahvely.
