Summergirls





It has been H-O-T here in Canberra recently. On Friday we had the hottest January day on record (41.6 C) and the Adelaide girl in me loved it. Everyone else was complaining like mad.

Growing up in Adelaide has left with me a wardrobe full of clothes suited to high temperatures and no time to wear them. I bought this top at an op shop quite a while ago now but I bring it out whenever it is stinking hot (so I haven't worn it in two years...). It is so comfortable and I love the print. In the last few years I have really warmed to 90s style. Back in 2000 I remember thinking that I couldn't understand why people liked floral dresses (my least favourite print at the time - my how times have changed!) or anything high-waisted (again, this is about 90% of my wardrobe now!).

Isn't it funny how your tastes can change? Other things I used to hate but now live in - knee-length boots (I thought they were ugly in high school), tights (when I was a little kid I hated how they were always falling down and you had that annoying crotch halfway down your legs that made you waddle) and jeans (when I was about 8 my girl scout troupe changed our uniform so that it was strictly blue jeans with our girl scout tops. I was devastated.). Actually, even when I came round to liking denim/jeans I thought light denim was gross and I'd only go for really really dark blue denim!

Top: Op shop
Shorts: Sportsgirl (3 or 4 seasons ago)

PS you can tell when a certain one of my housemates takes these photos because I always end up jumping

PPS I like to think that I look sort of like Carrie from SATC here. (And I know I'm about 10 years late, but was anyone else upset that [spoiler alert but you really should know this by now] she ended up with Big instead of Aidan?)

  2. I was just thinking the other day how it's funny that we always seem to end up wearing clothes that we swore we never would (amen to high waisted pants and floral prints- I used to hate them!) ...I could also add wedges, gold jewelry and dresses/skirts to that list :)

    1. Oh yeh - wedges! And pearls for me. Not that I wear either of them that often but I used to think they were boring/old lady style. (Well I used to think wedges were ugly, but I've found some good pairs).
