out to play... — KINGDOM OF STYLE

I had so many options for the title of this post today - " How NOT to do an outfit post", "Shake, rattle and roll", " The Scottish Sasquatch" . The possibilities were endless.

Sitting at home on Sunday night I was bemoaning the dark miserable weather and the lack of light. Suddenly I got it into my head that I should take some bright colourful pictures just to finish off our blogging year.

I popped on my Josuha Sanders inspired pom pom sneakers created for my birthday by Queen Michelle, my new poncho and my atelier swarovski necklace, grabbed my old camera and called Grande Empresse Gillian. 5 minutes later we were heading off into the darkness for the nearby swing park...

Oh Lordy what a commotion. It was cold, it was dark, it was windy, the flash wouldn't come on, the flash wouldn't go off, the camera was shaking, Gillian was shaking and randomly pressing buttons, cutting my head off in 70% of the pictures. I looked like a blurry sasquatch in the other 30%. We got the giggles then, which just made everything even more blurry. They say "fail to prepare, prepare to fail" and that's sort of what happened.

But we managed to salvage a couple of shots and there is no doubting that this is a happy outfit...
