Hello

H is also for Heron

August 8, 2007


Yes.. i said heron.

I got this dress yesterday in a country op-shop. It is just lovely.

Look at the print.. it is gorgeous.. with big, beautiful herons all over it.. and leaves and camellias and even more gorgeous things. It’s label says ‘Myer Southland’ – and I have met many lovely dresses from Myer Southland, this one included.

BUT.. the sleeves .. they are open all the way from shoulder to wrist.. with 3 little ties for modesty. My arms.. they don’t want to peekaboo. They want to hide away where nobody sees. They are pale and wintery and a bit lumpy in parts… Sigh. I am wearing it anyway.. and if you come to Mikes today.. please avert your eyes from my arms. Because there are other nicer things about me.. and nobody’s perfect, right?

xx mikes

PS – that necklace is from the world famous Victoria Mason

    I spied that necklace straight up, super pretty!! I do love the birds though, in those hues it’s not too flamboyant. Bring your Wintery arms to me, after a few school runs in tank tops, you’ll be tanned all over again. I’m sure you look stunning, with baby blues & all, love Posie
