Y'ello!  Calling all sunbeamers  :D
I am taking part in the Travelling Yellow Skirt Freak Show!  the brainchild of Melanie aka Miz Bagg at Bag and a Beret; and you can read the story behind the yellow skirt and its journey around the globe here; as well as find out how to sign up to join in the fun.  
Your mission, should you choose to accept it ... *dun! dun! dundundun! dun!* 

I'm a tiny bit embarrassed at my unexciting styling of the skirt particularly when you check out how cool everyone else has done it!  But I'm being true to myself: "pared back"is my thing and when it came down to how I would choose to wear it with no influence or comparing myself to others who have gone before me; then a basic white tee, on a beach, the Indian Ocean lapping at my heels, IS pretty much Me in a nutshell.   The skirt is statement enough!
And I'm in my happy place, this particular beach is my very favourite beach of them all  :)
Like everyone else I've added my own discreet little "I woz 'ere"...

So, I am wearing another new thing here, actually there are two! other new things here made by me recently; the ivory Tshirt is view A of Vogue 8879 made in a soft cotton jersey from Spotlight.  Pattern notes: the sleeves are cut on, making it a bit of a fabric hog.  I might not make it again, or if I do I'll probably modify it to have set-in sleeves, just like any old plain boring tee...  o dear, another example of my boring-ness.
Oh, the second new thing: well, underneath the skirt I am wearing some new jeans, because it was only about 16C on the beach when I took these photos.  Brrr! too cold for just a skirt!  I'll blog about those soon.
Later dudes!
