I admit my photoshopping skills are pretty horrific, a strip in the middle of the photo appears twice but hey, it's my first composite! and anyway, it should be all about the handmade clothes, right? I thought this the best way to show both of the items that I wore today.
Today I wore my mustard bandage dress, and looked like the lefthand version of me all day. I took that photo at around noon. Then in the evening we were going out so I added my ivory trench coat and took that photo at about 5pm. I am "glowing" a bit more in the left one, but that is hardly surprising given the difference in the light at those two times!
So, I looked like the right hand version from 5pm until midnight.At that time I turned into a pumpkin.

The good news is that yesterday I learnt how to write a link in flickr descriptions, so now my descriptions look much more neat and tidy, with the links directly back to the original garment post, which is a much better arrangement. So, now I have a word document saved with the code written on it:
