My sister and I went to Shepparton for the weekend to visit mum and ......well we visited the local Spotlight for some fabric therapy too. Last time we were there I saw a really appealing poly lycra pink and grey knit. I didn't buy it then but thought if it was still there it is meant to be mine. It was there - and now it is mine...along with a co ordinating grey knit and several other knit pieces that were found on the clearance table:
Most are viscose/elastine. The two at the top right are the only wovens and are poly satins. They are usually about $10 to $15 a metre and were on clearance at $5 a metre. I hear they are as low as $2 a metre at the Narre Warren store! You can also see in the photo that we visited Diva as well - 5 pieces for $10.
Cheryl and I also ventured around town and came across a shoe sale at Jeff Young Shoes. The already heavily discounted shoes were being offered at buy two and get a third free. Unfortunately I couldn't reduce my wants to only three, so I had four! Yes four new pairs of shoes. Here is the first pair:
and this is what I wore with them to work today:
The skirt is a simple straight skirt edged with lace and ribbon that I made pre blog days. The cardi and cami are RTW. The necklace was one of my Diva purchases.
Stay tuned for tomorrow's shoes.......

Wow! You look fantastic. That is a beautiful outfit and your shoes are great! I bought a pair shoes yesterday too, in prevision for fall - they match the fabrics I gathered for my fall sewing!
Your fabrics are all so lovely - and many coordinate with one another, which is great. You'll be able to make yourself a lovely wardrobe
Ah, isn't it thrilling to be constructing one's own style? :)
Nice fabric and great shoes! Did you look at Carolyn's blog yet - she has a pair that look almost exactly like those, except hers are black patent! Obviously you both have good taste.
New fabric... New fabulous shoes...
You must be feeling in heaven! I would!
