WELCOME TO… my last three relaxing days in Melbourne…

NEXT STOP: the final update on my 10-Day-Melbourne-fashion-challenge comic…

Friday Day 8/10, 14 September: Ken Done glasses, earrings from Japan, Country Road vintage denim jacket from op shop, Kmart skivvy, NEW Ken Shaw dress from op shop, leather belt from op shop, Sportsgirl stockings gifted by my Mum, Fluevog shoes, Linda Jackson bag.

I think this photo below shows up my purple eyebrows particularly *well* – check those dark arches in the large Ken Done frames !! And this new 1980s ‘Ken Shaw, Melbourne’ dress is a find from Frankston, and clearly *gold*. The photos aren’t doing it quite the justice I think possible, so you’re likely to see it again soon…

Then the weekend was spent wandering around and spending more time with family. Check out this great sign spotted by The First Hawaiian Officer (and no, we did not partake in any such ‘instant’ beverages)…

Saturday Day 9/10, 15 September: Pashmina scarf from Italy, American Apparel shirt (borrowed from The First Hawaiian Officer), skivvy from Kmart, Levis jeans, Birkenstock sandals.

Then home to Sydney.

Sunday Day 10/10, 16 September: Pashmina scarf from Italy, Ralph Lauren cashmere skivvy from op shop, vintage denim dress from op shop, Saba belt, Fluevog shoes.

Ah, a *good time*. Now the comic recap WITH UPDATE:

Tell: Glasses from Japan, earrings from op shop, scarf from op shop, vintage Country Road denim jacket from op shop, vintage *pristine* Ken Done dress from op shop in South Australia, Fluevogs, Leo Monk leather bag.

Share: Yesterday we had a strategy meeting for The Social Studio work in Sydney. *Seven Smart Minds* helping me to progress the work. The meeting went really well – with plenty of enthusiasm and clarity – and now it’s back to working hard and setting plans. The good news too is you’ll soon be able to see exactly who is involved and how people are helping me… so stay tuned!

And fashion-wise, a splash of winter colour al-lah The Ken Done Master. Comfortable and oh-so-BRIGHT! I wore this dress on my second last day of What Ken Be Done (just over a year ago, now), so it’s got plenty of *rad* memories… xo xo

Share: In Adaptive Leadership theory there is a term known as ‘holding steady’. For me this means when you have done as much work as you can do at a particular time, and for a while, you have to wait until circumstances come together to help direct future paths forward. This week I’m ‘holding steady’ on The Social Studio Sydney. This is because for the last 6 months, part time, I’ve collected as much information as I can, and now I’m waiting to shortly meet with trusted allies to assist me to make some decisions moving forward. So now, this week… well, now I just mostly wait. The hardest part about this can be the *waiting* itself, especially when The Social Studio is something I really want to see happen, but at the same time, I have to be realistic; and *wanting* something isn’t always enough. So there you go: this is me, waiting. And, I figure, if I’m going to *hold* still for a while, I may as well do it with some colour on… xo
