Luckily family Christmas was just around the corner so it was easy to go home and change into something cool and comfy still as yet unworn!
It also meant I was appropriately dressed to pop into a friend’s Christmas party at Coorparoo Bowls Club for a spot of Glow Bowls!
Hand-me-down skirt from mum by Trent Resort and black Zara T to make me feel like I’m wearing my own clothes! Another “need to wear my Birks” day … I guess it’s just that time of year!
I have come to the conclusion that this top – commonly referred to as my Karate Kid top – needs skinny pants. This outfit started the day with a big Tango skirt but ended up looking less Tango and more Russian folk dance!
I went for these little Bianca Spender for Carla Zampatti hand-me-down pants from my aunt but really struggled with a shoe solution! Plus I thought I might have to take my students for a big walk down the road to visit the local koala at school but sadly he had already gone deeper into the forest!
What shoes could I wear with this outfit? Or maybe I won’t do this combo again?!
My Thursday ritual of playing PK’s Trivia at Coorparoo Bowls Club was a bit more exciting tonight for two reasons:
1) my friends from Switzerland – land of my birth – are staying with us and therefore joined our team for the night
2) WE WON! Actually we came equal 1st in a 3-way tie and I got a 20-pointer on the dart board in the dart-off decider therefore very surprisingly winning for our team!
I was wearing my lucky red Switzerland souvenir T and my controversial Talbots petite navy cotton skirt that was a dressing room discussion point the day I ended deciding that I liked it and that was enough! It has since had lots of approval.
Our winners certificate!
Once again my whole outfit revolved around my Birkenstocks and the need to wear a red shirt in honour of the peace we pray for for the Morcombe family who can finally bury their son 9 years after he disappeared.
Headed out to Ikea after work and picked up some v funky textile remnants that I hope will make some groovy new outfits for next year when I will have variety of a whole new sort!
Took one last look at my old hair before going to visit Scott for my new do.
My Cotton On man shirt and Sportsgirl shorts were the combo I needed to accompany my red Birks.
I knew a lot of walking was required to take my mum and my aunt shopping … But we did take a couple of breaks.
I couldn’t miss this photo opportunity!
The highlight was finding something I could buy in Fluoro! I saw a kid wearing these shoes the other day and I asked her mother if they came in big sizes … Well a little bit bigger than kids’ anyway! Here they are!
I have been allowed to buy shoes this year as I had to throw so many pairs out last year so shoes were my key to not missing out on Fluoro! Hurray!!
Only one thing could accessorise my new birthday pyjama pants and my Bonds singlet – this scrummy toile apron with buttons for little towels and other things you may like to take with you as you clean. This apron makes you want to clean … Talk about the power of fashion!
So pleased I got to get on a skate board today after studying about Rob Thomas who holds the world record for the longest journey by skate board

Broke a couple of records myself today:
1) stayed on a skate board and didn’t fall off
2) really wanted to re-wear an outfit for pretty much the first time since I started this challenge but obviously didn’t so we stand at 275 days of completely different outfits on one wardrobe PHEW! Not exactly world record stuff but a good personal goal still being achieved.
Thanks for all the support by the way
