Yep the high temperatures have had me sweating in my jeans and vowing to bare my legs again. So we headed to DFO for some spending :)

Cue many frustrating trips to my favourite shops - even Forever New failed me!! I couldn't find anything that appealed or much new season (OK OK I know I am shopping at outlets and shouldn't expect new season). Also EVERYTHING was size 14 - whats with that? I thought people were getting fatter? Shouldn't size 14 be more sold out than size 8 therefore? (again I know I am outlet shopping and shouldnt expect my size to necessarily be there!)

Until... the last half an hour, where I hit paydirt including some new season tops that had just been marked down and I snapped up the only smalls :). Even the shop assistant was impressed at the cuteness and the price (the two for $15). Sorry too lazy to take pics - but one is a mushroom coloured sequined long singlet and the other is a summery loose white top with ribbon detailing on the bottom to cinch it in.

Most importantly I found the summery pretty kaftan style dress that I had been coveting AND it was in my size and hidden at that back of a sale rack. And it looks great with my brown belt and my new shoes (see below)


Witchery came through for me too with some great (80% discounted!) summer sandals that are just perfect for all the tie-dye and floral dresses and tops I am planing :)


So still on my wish list: (which got dramatically shortened half an hour ago when I dug out my summer clothes and realised how many items on it I already owned - whoops!)
- denim shorts that don't make me look hoochy
- a tye-died singlet top that isn't too hippy throwback
- a pretty floaty blouse
- a summery floral maxi-dress

What else do I need? I would love some suggestions! Or tell me what you are coveting!

About Me

Amy
I am 30 years old, am a microbiologist with a PhD and love looking after my little farm. I compete in dressage and showjumping with my horses. I have a passion for shopping and a weakness for pretty clothes, shoes and handbags. My husband and I have a gorgeous toddler called Elka and a little bub named Bronte. I am a mother who works and has a career - just don't call me a "working mother". I don't do inside hobbies and craft and have only successfully sewn two things in my life that weren't ripped horserugs. The scientist in me makes me a little cynical and I am more likely to tell you about my life and events then give you a pretty polaroid style picture and an inspiring quote. Not for everyone but I have a bad memory and blogging is my way of recording life :)
