We went to roller derby tonight - and it’s the first time we’ve gone in a long time. I love it - it’s the only sport I can actually get into although, being Canadian, I fake it for hockey and, living in New Zealand, rugby. ;)

This is what I wore - I haven’t worn my Hellpixie skirt in far too long, so I forwent dressing up in team colours in order to give it an outing. I love this skirt so much, I may need to splurge on another someday (when she is back to sewing after having baby Pixie!).

The first photo is a regular outfit photo. The second is my reaction to Sam saying something cheeky, probably boob-related although I can’t remember now. The third is Sam and I at derby, taken with our friend’s handy instagram.

Here is the Lady V London dress that I first posted about here.

I know I say this a lot, but I freaking love this dress! The fit is superb, the skirt is a massive circle, and the fabric/print is gorgeous. Only good things went into this fine frock.

I once again had to wear two petticoats - because of the huge amount of fabric in the skirt, one petticoat was not providing enough poof. Also, I swapped out the skinny belt it came with for this wider one. I also wore a black cardigan and my sweater guard with it.

Here is MY B-Movie dress by Hell Bunny. I freaking love it!! This is awesomeness in dress form. End of story.

Oh, I wore two petticoats today - the dress is quite thick and one wasn’t cutting it. It also came in handy to have the extra layers when it was so freaking cold today.

I finally wore my Deadly Dames Courtesan Swing! Love it, so glad I got the Victorian Rose print. And I felt fantastic in it! (It didn’t hurt that at Dr Sketchy, I won the best dressed competition, the prize for which included chocolate, earrings and lipstick! Yuss!) ;)

I’m being interviewed by a reporter for the fashion column in the local paper.

They will take my photo, as well as photograph a few of my favourite fashiony things.

I had such a hard time figuring out what to wear, that I let my husband choose one of his favourite of my outfits.

Wanna guess which you think it is? Have a look through My Outfits page and let me know. Or tell me what you think I should have chosen.

I’ll post the article when it comes out next week and you can see if you were right! ;)

I don’t often tuck my tops into my high waisted jeans, but this top looks shitty when left out so I went for it today. And I decided I like it both ways - some days call for tucked, some days don’t.

I don’t often wear all black - at least not since I was a melancholy teenager with goth tendencies - so today felt like a bit of a treat. Weird that taking a break from colour feels like a treat!

Anyway, it wasn’t a total break, since I wore my new blue shoes and matched them with blue rose earrings. I am so happy to have blue shoes - I have to fight against my natural urge to be practical when buying footwear, and these seemed deliciously impractical, if only because I can’t wear them with everything. I am surprisingly conservative when it comes to shoes, I need to work on that.
