As of this week, I've taken an indefinite hiatus from my full time job to focus on two things. One, planning for an overseas trip, and secondly to focus on some of my other interests.
For a long time I've been planning to spend at least a year working, travelling and doing volunteer work around the globe. I'm not sure what I'll do with only a back-pack-full of my clothes for a year, I guess I'll have to get creative and stock up when we finally settle in London. In the meantime I've been trying to wear some of the more neglected things in my wardrobe, like the outfit for tonight (I especially love the huge bow on the skirt):
So the next few months will involve boring things like applying for a visa and lining up jobs and accommodation, as well as painting, sewing, baking, reading and basically enjoying the last of my time in Melbourne! I've also managed to amass a huge collection of vintage clothes that I don't wear so will set up a store sometime soon. Stay tuned!
Top: Tina Kalivas for Target - given to me by my mother ages ago and never worn
Skirt: Vintage, thrifted way back when I was in high school
Shoes: Thrifted recently from Northcote opshop

oh that's wonderful, how exciting.
The outfit is gorgeous!
I'm super jealous you're going overseas, even the boring planning stuff doesn't have to seem so bad cause you're thinking about the holiday before you go ;) Hope there will still be photos along the way! xx
that is such a fabulous skirt! i'm a sucker for anything with bows...and sequins...
i'm sewing the last few dozen sequins onto my birthday dress right now actually (well, not RIGHT now, as i'm using my fingers for typing instead of sewing...but it's right next to me!) and it's got a great bow on it as well!
london how ecxiting, great place to shop so bring an empty bag...

Congratulations! How exciting for you! I have dreamed about doing something similar but I know it's not an option for us right now. I know it takes a lot of courage to leave everything behind - so well done and the best of luck!
I will be super keen to check out what you are getting rid of!

It sounds just wonderful to spend a year abroad! I really hope I can do something like that one day. I've been thinking of teaching English abroad after I graduate, and I dream of moving to Europe permanently. I hope your trip is filled with lots of fun and excitement! :)
