Hmmm… I’m thinking I’m going to have to add a ‘daily outfit’ category from now on… But check this out, I made a new dress! Yay! I bought my first (working) sewing machine a few weeks ago from eBay. Guess how much I paid… go on, guess. $50? $30? Nah, try $13! Ha! Okay, so it’s old, but it works! It actually took me a loooong time to work out how to use it, but thanks to Yahoo! Answers, some sewing machine repair man in the US taught me. Anyway, enough blabber, here it is!

New Dress & Daily Outfit

Alright, so you can’t see all of it, but I’m going to wear it this weekend so no doubt I’ll post another daily outfit post next week. I couldn’t find any free plus size dress patterns on the net so I had to kind of make it up as I went along. (If you ever come across some free patterns please tell me!) It’s a 50’s style halter neck dress with little red hearts all over. There’s even lining! Man, I spent hours making this thing, and now I can completely understand why people charge so much for buying these kind of dresses.

It’s becoming warmer here in Melbourne, spring is in the air and the sun is warm enough to play outside! Plus it also means t-shirt weather. Or in my case, halter neck dress weather. I’m loving these daily outfit collages, by the way, they’re like art.

Oh! And you can probably see that I’ve dyed my hair - again. This time with Special Effects’ Virgin Rose. I love it! No more 2 inch roots, plus it turns pink in the sun - bonus and a half. This is what the bowl of hair dye looked like at one point. I thought it was artistic …at the time :P
