Aussie Curves = STRIPES ...

This weeks  Aussie Curves theme =  STRIPES. 

However stripes don't feature in my wardrobe ...

after having it drummed into me from an early age that ...

"big girls don't wear stripes going round ...

but ...

you can wear stripes if they're horizontal ...

cause they make you look slimmer!" 

I've avoided wearing stripes ...
with the sound of Mum & Grandma's disapproving opinions ...
ringing in my ears

Even now the only stripes in my life ...

are those formed by the paling fence behind me! 

Here I am ... 

last Saturday morning ...

off on a warehouse birthday shoppathon spree ...

with The Diva.

My timeless TS jacket from a couple of seasons ago = TS 14 + ...

'Anywear' Pants = TS 14 + 

V neck short sleeve Tee = Bonds ...
Necklace = created by Moi ...

Handbag = Leo Monk ...

Shoes = 'Oxley' by Supersoft ...

We checked out other warehouses ...

BUT ...

I blew the birthday gift cash, times three ...

at TS 14 + Warehouse ...

We were treated like royalty ...

co-ordinated & styled in true TS 14 + fashion ...

we were physically & financially spent & mega happy!

My bulging wardrobe remains stripe free! 

I'm looking forward to what else my wardrobe might be minus  ...
for future Aussie Curves themes ...
plus am loving how the girls are inspiring me ...
to break with ingrained fashion traditions !!!
