Day two of #frocktober and as I was last year, I am overwhelmed that total strangers are liking my pictures on instagram. I post the pictures on instagram during the day and then write the blog when I get the time. This dress, for the keen observer, is the dress I wore for the first day of Frocktober last year. You can see it's story here. I'm worried I may not have 31 dresses so there may be the odd double up... To make sure I'm doing a service to the quest I've styled it completely different than last year.
The cardigan I'm wearing in this picture is one of my favourite pieces of clothing at the moment and the necklace I'm wearing I wear almost every day. The cardigan is from a "straight from China" shop called Mirrou and the necklace is from Trade Aid. The older I get, the more conscious I am about the choices I make as a consumer. I love this picture because I snapped it on the stairs while stuck in the stairwell; you can see the sheerness of the dress and the great pattern of the top. It appears that I'm really sticking out my chest but I swear, it's just the angle. A great angle, no less.
In the evening I went to see my friend Terri who was in the middle of her art installation/performance work AuraSecure*. The work was not only beautiful, well executed and polished but a subtle observation of the surveillance we are subject to, every single day, of our lives. She had secured the space through Urban Dream Brokerage, ff you haven't heard of them, please look them up and to see more about the work itself, click here. In this picture I am standing in front of just part of the work.
I know Terri as an artist, a PHD student, a mother, a wife, an auntie and an amazing friend. All of which, she puts her heart and soul into. Through our short time together I have shared more with her than most of my friends. She is one of the kindest, bravest, most generous people I know. I am blessed to know her and to watch her make art and to raise such wonderful little boys.
