A Borrowed Shirt and A Pie

Lately, I have been very inspired by one blog, calivintage, and find myself browsing through her long list of outfits most of the time that I am on the internet. I love that she looks different everyday, and tries different looks, but still looks the same, as in, she looks like herself in every different outfit.

The other day, desperate for warm clothes, (gosh, I am REALLY struggling) I decided to trawl through some of her posts until I found the one in the above link, and thought it was perfect!

I never usually wear Matt's shirts because they just look boxy and awful on my body type, but stick a cardigan on top and it looks great - so great that I think I might invest in my own flannelette one (for extra warmth). So, thanks Calivintage! Here's my interpretation:

So, complete outfit was Matt's shirt, Cotton On cardigan, Mum's suit jacket from the '80's, Jay Jay's high-waisted jeans, Reject Shop socks and Sportsgirl shoes.

I think I have about two layers on underneath the shirt as well as tights on underneath my jeans for extra warmth. I'd really love tips of Australian shops I can get warmer clothing from. I'm off to Metallicus today with my housemate, who works for them, and Tracy (boyfriend's sister) to try to get some warmer basics, but I really need warmer jumpers, cardigans and clothes in general! 

Thanks, Matt. Lol

In other news, I baked a wonderful beef and vegetable pie the other night, mostly from scratch - c'mon, who doesn't use the sheets of frozen puff pastry! We didn't have enough potatoes to make a shepherd's pie, so I put pastry on top instead. Delicious! Here's a photo (which refuses to centre itself properly - argh!);

See the pretty leaves on top?

And last night I cooked my step-dad, Fred's German Green Bean Soup, which uses a special German herb called 'Bohnenkraut' or 'Summer Bean Herb' (Wiki calls it Summer Savory at one point, and Summer Bean Herb at another, but I think Summer Bean Herb is a better translation). The soup is a lovely broth, and great to make when we're poor.

Day One of the no sugar (diet? detox? I'm not sure) thing but it is only 11am, so all I've had is two Vita Brits (they don't have sugar added) and some milk. So far, so good.

My Current Idol

Ginnifer Goodwin is just SO beautiful! She's on one of my favourite and most addictive shows to watch 'Big Love', and was the only reason why I finished the movie 'Mona Lisa Smile'. 


With her cute pixie cut and beautiful blue eyes, her style is something that definitely inspires me. Here are some examples;

I just love this dress. Very different to your average LBD.

Another cute twist on just wearing an LBD

A different way to wear stripes and the big flower is a great statement.

Ooh! I have a dress that's similar to this, although a bit tartier lol. It was only $10 after all. But this one is in a better colour too, and has such a beautiful neckline.

Another one from www.whosdatedwho.com

I just love that she wears so many sweet dresses, because its very much like my style. 

(Also from www.whosdatedwho.com)

She makes casual look so, well, not casual. I especially love the bow on the top.

I think I'm going to try to emulate her tomorrow for uni - heels and all!! Sounds rediculous, but whatever. Oh, and I will post the look too.
