Basking in the glow of being home here in Brissy for four fabulous weeks, I can’t seem to shake the feeling that I’ve forgotten something…
  • Ticket CHECK
  • Passport (I’ve certainly learned my lesson on this one) CHECK
  • Phone (I've REALLY learned my lesson on this one…) CHECK
  • Bundles of UK Cadbury Dairy Milk (Aussie anti-melting agent excluded) CHECK
  • Toothbrush CHECK
  • Clothes…. Oh. MY. GOD!

Part 2 of a 3-Part Style Overhaul Series, including:
  1. All Aboard the HMS Decluttery
  2. A choppin' and a changin' - 3 simple style alterations (darts, hem length + the chop!)
  3. Stop. You't not actually going to wear THAT top with THAT skirt again, are you?
Every bargain hunter knows the very best finds need a bit of spit and polish. Whether it's seeing the potential in that overlooked, run-down little property, envisioning new upholstery on that tired chair, seeing through the dusty muck coating a glorious vintage tea set or eyeing up an ornate frame that's desperate for a stunning new artwork. And yes, the same is true for clothes. Revitalising your own wardrobe (FREE SHOPPING on a rack of stuff you actually like!) or scoring a soon-to-be new favourite that unfortunately (for now) is a bit too big, too long, too tight in places, too 80s, too frou frou, not frou frou enough, too high cut, too low cut... you most definitely get the idea... needs only a wee bit of elbow grease. So, fear not my fellow bargain-loving style pioneers - let us break uncharted ground with scissors in one hand and dressmakers pins in the other. We're kicking this off with... darts!
