Aussie Curves - Picnic

Aussie Curves is an outfit photo challenge. This weeks theme is - picnic. Any time I'm invited to a picnic I want to look nice and feel comfortable (ummm when don't I). I want to be able to muck around with a frisbee or play with the kids. Not mine, I don't have any. But I come from a big family with 26 first cousins!  Now that I'm married, I wonder if I can talk my husband into the occasional romantic picnic. If I promise gooey cheese I'm sure it'd be a done deal.

A picnic tends to mean climbing over a seat to sit at a table, or sitting on a blanket. For this reason I have chosen to wear shorts. Classy shorts though. These are from TS 14 Plus. They have a cute short split at the back of the knee and are really comfy to wear.

Cold miserable weather in Geelong, with a head cold to match meant, I didn't venture down to the local park or river today to take photos. So I had a mini make-believe picnic indoors. I'm relieved really. I'll have to brave the 'public photos' another day. It's so much easier to be silly in my studio at home. Oh yes, I dance and prance.

Yes, I have arms! White un-toned glorious arms. Since a picnic is best enjoyed on a sunny day, thought it best to wear something with layers. I do live in Geelong after all, who knows what the weather will be doing one minute to the next. I am loving this tee from Autograph. The front has two layers that are joined at the shoulder. It drapes in a very flattering way. The bottom layer clings to the belly, leaving the top layer to fall gracefully. I wish more tops where like this!

My aunt *waves hello* gave me this necklace. She said I should use the pretty beads to create something else. I put it on and asked 'would it be okay if I just kept it like this?'. It's rather stunning! Chunky but light. A pretty mix of blue and brown on string. I suspect the necklace is from Autograph, I'm not sure. Perfect for non fuss accessories for a picnic.

Shoes that can be easily kicked off to feel the grass under your toes is a must! There is something about being outdoors, the sunshine, fresh air, and the feel of squishy grass under toes. I'm not alone on that one, right?!
