Aussie Curves – Bling

I was really looking forward to this week’s challenge but as with most things lately it was left to the last minute. Stephanie and I dressed up in our best bling and headed out to take photos. Finding a location presented it own challenge but as soon as I saw the giant trees covered in candy coloured lights I knew we’d found it.

See, Aidan does get his eyes from me! I bought this necklace from Lovisa back in 2010 and it’s still one of my all time favourites because really, it’s just a little too much. Chunky brassy gold, silver and chains galore. It weighs a tonne but I don’t care when I wear it because I feel so glam when I do. To finish accessorising I added opulent little studs and simple chain bangles.

Speaking of eyes, when I was getting ready I decided to channel a little bit of Omega and added some bling to my make up! Three little plastic rhinestones in pink, purple and red (to match my necklace) glued onto my cheekbone with clear drying eyelash glue. So simple and just a little bit fun. I also tried out a subtle ombre lip, pale frosty pink all over and a bold glossy hot pink in the center softly blended out.

The skirt is a new op shop find and for only $5. I always get excited when I find something in my size at an op shop, actually this is a few sizes too big but I didn’t care, I HAD to take it home with me. Who wouldn’t love a silky purple skirt with pockets?!?! It’s really light and floaty so I feel a bit naked if I don’t wear leggings with it.

Please feel free to join the Aussie Curves Facebook Group which is filled with energetic discussion about all things fashion, photography and self love. Yesterday we clicked over 200 members and I’m totally blown away. Some women don’t blog but instead share their outfits by posting photos to the wall and by instagram. For more ways to play and to chat to the Aussie Curves ladies in real time head on over and ask to join.
