I buy summer dresses in winter

I am so over Winter, so over it that in fact while out and about today amongst a few of my favourite op shops I found Summer frocks that needed to be bought, so buy them I did.   If need be I shall put things on top and underneath until Summer gets her sorry butt back here!!

Both sleeveless ones have SPOTS on them, and the one in the middle is a now dress as in Winter and my best score of the day.  It is a Desigual dress which retail for Moonbeams, and as I don't have a good supply of such things I was beyond stoked when I found it was $10 and dam near brand new.  The other two were $6 each and will look much better when Summer arrives and I can shed my Winter coat and get some colour on my limbs.

This selection of goodies has been collected over the last couple of days.  A Dragonfly is for the Dragonfly collecting friend of mine Ms Webber, 4 fabulous heavy cotton place mats for me in the most fabulous colours.  The terracotta face pots I want to plant Mondo grass in so they will have outrageous hair.  The wooden painted bowl and pot are Russian and divine.  Four oblong and square fabric serviettes, these are going to be used in an up cycle project that involves a black jacket that is brewing in my head.  And lastly the edging on this top is all I want, also going to be used in an up cycling project.

I bought the two black possum skins off trade me that I am going to stitch together how I have them laying on the floor so they will be a possum wrap.  The cape which is totally reversible and has a small hole that can be repaired was $2 and the dress needs a new zip and was also $2.  Really should continue with sparing up the un spare room!!

So today I wore black and purple with my fabulous multi coloured scarf.  I was toastie!!  Oh and congrats to William and Katherine in England on the birth of their baby boy.  I do like happy news!!
