black and white, and dotty too

Went outside for some sunshine, doodling, and thinking. Did not get as much as I'd like of either three, but I did snap a few photos for the blog.


Thrifted skirt and tights from the op-shops, vintage blouse and cardi from Retrostar, shoes from Rubi, ring made by me.

I've been tagged by the fabulous Gita of Petrushka's Closet to write 10 random facts/habits about myself. So here's my list.
1. I love Pocoyo (kids shows are the best).
2. The last movie I saw was Star Trek.
3. I was born in the province of DIY, Indonesia.
4. I like the double meaning when I say "I like DIY".
5. I wish I was in France for the next 2 weeks so I could go to Roland Garros for the French Open!
6. I have a bad habit of cracking my knuckles.
7. There was a time when I was the tallest girl in high school. I was 1.73m - which isn't that tall.
8. I'm pondering if I'm better off getting a sewing machine or a DSLR. I know nothing about either.
9. Posh was always my favourite Spice Girl, long before she became Mrs. B, and I will forever have a soft spot for her.
10. I can't drink plain milk. It has to be flavoured or mixed with something else.
This award came with the tag:

I'm supposed to choose 10 more bloggers to tag, so I tag the first 10 people who comment on this post. Have fun!
Unless you don't want to play along (why not??), then pass it along to the person after you ;)

Congrats on the award...it's nice to be cute non?! ~XO*

Wohoooo! Free award and tag ;)

Now - we have Posh Spice and *once* being the tallest girl in class in common. Posh was always my fave, probably because she was always the least-liked Spice Girl. I liked all her dresses. But I am quite indifferent to Victoria Beckham. She scares me a bit. And I had a growth spurt quite early on. Now I am always the shortest person *anywhere*

Don't crack your knuckles, hun. It might give you athritis. That's the old wives tale I've been told.

I spot polka dots on your shirt and on your cute little tights!

Quixsa said...

I adore the outfit! Especially the tights and sweater :0)

I also crack my knuckles...and my neck...and my back. I first started cracking my knuckles cause all of the cool girls did it in elementary school did it.lol. so silly.

DaisyChain said...

Love the tights so much!

Diane said...

I love the outfit you're wearing. It's very classically chic!

Haha, I smiled when I read that there was once a time that you were the tallest girl in high school because I've never been the tallest girl anywhere!! I stand at a towering 4'10" (1.47 meters). I have a limited view of the world at this height.

Amelia said...

I love the polka dots on the shirt and tights. So cute!

Amelia said...

Re your comment: I did the twin photo in photoshop, which wasn't too bad, but definitely took longer than it should have. I think it's easier to do in Picnik, but I don't have a flickr pro account :(

babalisme said...

You are tall for Indonesian girls, dear... pasti disuruh berdiri paling belakang pas upacara...

lauren said...

Such a cute outfit! I've been meaning to get some polka dot tights.

lucille said...

Gabbi said...

Lovely dots and photo collage! Posh was my favorite Spice girl too and Pocoyo looks really cute. I'd never heard of it before...

I saw the 'Star Trek' movie last weekend and really loved it. You were right! Hope you're having a great weekend.xo

Ariella said...

What a pretty, pretty outfit. The blouse and the cardigan are extremely sweet!

I hope you'll get to enjoy some sunshine again and properly soon

Emmy said...

hmm well, I'd say go for the DSLR...i didn't know anthing about SLRs before I got mine and I'M IN LOVE...though a sewing machine would be pretty cool as well. though keep in mind that it would probably be quicker to learn how to use a camera than a sewing machine

and posh was always my favourite spice girl as well...i think my reasoning for that when i was little was that she was the only one that didn't get thrown in jail.

Emmy said...

oh and i almost forgot! i've given you an award, so go check it out!

The Clothes Horse said...

I adore your tights. I never seem to be very productive when I go outside either.

Emily said...

I love your polka dot tights. They add the perfect touch of sweetness to your outfit :)

Mama Mima said...

1.73cm? that's tall, dear. you could be a model in indonesia..
i crack my knuckles too, jari tangan, jari kaki, leher. ada temenku yg suka bergidik kalo aku lg cracking. aku disuruh berenti krn gak sehat katanya, tp susah bgt ya.

petrushkabiel said...

Wow, sudah di-post...Hmm, aku ga mau berdiri sebelahan sm kamu d...Tinggi sekali Anna, aku jdminder..Tinggiku cum 155, huhu :D

Crracking knuckles? Sama dong, enak bgt yah...Tapi klo udh kejadian suka nyesel. Karena sebetulnya ga baik, malah bikin pelumas sendi kita ga berfungsi dgn baik...Hihihi...
