What I Actually Wore #0040
Serial #: 0040
Date: 17/05/2010
Weather: a cool, mid-winter day of 17°
Time Allowed: 5 minutes
It’s my first day on the job (a short contract job that is) in a design studio in Thornbury. This is an inner Melbourne northern suburb I have never before been to in my life. Investigating transport options, I discover that the bus stopping not five minutes from my home gets me virtually to the door.
Hurrah! This means I can wear precarious shoes to my heart’s content.
With this in mind I choose a new pair of purple suede ankle boots (so deliciously impractical).
Two-tone grey; I love the perky patent bow of this belt.I also wanted to wear a new secondhand purchase: a black linen skirt that is a little reminiscent of a balloon skirt, but it tapers at the sides. I choose a soft grey wool top to wear with it. As it is slightly loose I pull out a favourite patent belt: I really like different shades of grey worn together. Silver Turkish coin earrings fit the theme.
These boots were NOT made for climbing rickety old ladders!
I rarely wear black with colours as it reminds me too much of brash Eighties fashion, but the purple boots are just the right coloured punctuation mark to this muted outfit.
It’s the first of many pairs of shoes with which I entertain the girls at the local Thornbury café where I have my lunch.
