Show:
Tell: Tatty Devine earring, Diane Freis top from Manly op shop (see how it’s the ‘matching’ top of the skirt I made into a dress here in STS16), Levis organic cotton jeans (I gave them the cuffs, I can barely handle jeans), Camper boots.
Share: Just a quick post, as I’m working at my university job today, and need to get cracking. I did want to take a moment however to *THANK YOU* so much for all the lovely comments about my newsletter update. I’m so glad you liked it and you got that it is about me being creative and giving information in a different, fun way. As you know, I really want to see The Social Studio set up in Sydney – and this was my own small way of sharing that hope. So ‘woot, woot!’ for you! And, because the age of commenting can now be across a multitude of social platforms, I just wanted to share with you a couple more encouraging comments from supporters:
“It is a great newsletter. I can’t remember the last time I read a newsletter from top to bottom!”
“Love the newsletter you sent through, very quirky.”
“BEST. NEWSLETTER. EVER. !!!”
There were plenty of wonderful words, and I thank you each and every one. You see, you guys are like my new Tatty Devine earring from eBay; it’s based on a street sign from Japan (we got a photo when we were there last time, see below). By holding my hand, and being a support, you help me do better! OK sure, maybe a bit sappy, but I don’t care!! xo
Hi Jackie
Just read your fab newsletter. I am trying to think how I might help out. You are such an inspiration and such a fun one at the same time … you are definitely fashioned for good!
Love your work!
Robin
Oh thank you SO much, Robin!
As always, I think I may have a few *good* ideas about ways you can be involved (heh, heh, heh). I’ll be in contact soon, and we can talk more.
Remember too, even an encouraging post comment and general good-will out there for The Social Studio and me is a help. So thanks for that.
You are a winner, lovely xo
ok I love the colour combo in the Diana Fries top, and the matching skirt, I suspect they might be too full on worn together.. or extremely 80s? hmm jury still out on DF but I have heard of many a DF found in an op-shop, might be enough to make me keep the ugly OTT dresses labels out… of course to gift to you. How can you not love jeans! xx
BirdMonkey, I know you are not convinced, but my love of Diane Freis is really pretty high – it’s always so 80s – so you know I can hardly resist! And an op shop find of Freis is always *very* exciting, so I’d love you too be on the lookout. Fingers crossing. And yes, these two items should not be worn together; I mean, even I can see that!
I didn’t wear jeans for over a decade, and only have started back again recently. I recognise the comfort and often-quality aspects… it’s just that I want 1980s vintage Versace pattern jeans always, and they’re not renowned in my size, and they also costs a ma-zillion $$ too. Oh well. xo
hmm 80′s pattern jeans.. I have started to eye them off again… Moschino is at affordable sometimes… and those that last year had the Ken Done pattern collaboration where pretty good too.
Yes, Moschino, good advice (I’ve been eyeing some stuff too… great minds thinking alike and all that). I didn’t know SomethingElse did jeans with KD too, will take a look (though not sure they’ll do my size anyway…). Funny, I’ll show more later, but I’ve only recently been reminded/worked out how fun Moschino really is… here’s to some new finds! xo
that should read “check out” the ugly dresses. even though I need to keep them out of my wardrobe. Auto spell check? or just brain hand not working!
You’re brain is always working, BM – that’s what makes you SO VERY interesting! xo
Wow! The colors in that Diane Freis top are magnificent. They are so bright; that top is alive with color.

Hey Quryous, *I heart Diane Freis* too! Hooray!
And, as I hope you’ll see, I have *quite* a number of Diane Freis pieces now in my collection, which I’ll just keep on sharing… I adore DF’s colour-splash-style. Thanks for your comment, xo
