(yes, I’m a Queen fan from way back…)
Me-Made June challenge for today; Must be on some form of transport. Challenge accepted.
I thought this would be tricky, turned out to be easy peasy. Two minutes ride to the foreshore, didn’t have ma doggie in tow, no back pack because the camera could be stowed in the basket instead. I was only fearful of some funny looks, because a bike on the beach is just a tad more noticeable than a camera perched discreetly amongst the beach grasses, and usually when I take my photo here I look to an observer as if I am merely pausing to admire the view. A bike is a bit more double-take worthy, yaaas?! Fortunately the only people I saw were a couple of kite surfers, one of there behind me in the photo. Yes, it is crazy windy again today. So windy that for your amusement I included some out-takes below. I call them; Cousin It goes for a Bike Ride…
Details:
Shirt; Burda 8497, white cotton, details here
Cargoes; Burdastyle magazine 10/2010, pants 110 with some modifications, khaki ripstop cotton, details and a review of this pattern here
Cardigan; my own design, of Jo Sharp Silk Road DK Tweed in Brindle, details here
Scarf; handknit my me, from a wool kit from Ivy and Maude, seen first here
Socks; handknit by me, details here (yup, same socks as yesterday, I reasoned since I was wearing them over tights yesterday they weren’t really dirty)
Shoes; Country Road
Beautiful! You always look so pulled together but also so casual chic. It does feel like fall in your picture. For a second, I thought the sky was ripped open, but then I realized there is a para-sail behind you. Glad that's not a ripped open sky. 😉
I was wondering how many bikes we will see for this challenge. I don't have a bike and am not sure how to answer this challenge. I'll worry about it tomorrow. 😀
Get on Your Bikes and Ride!
Queen fan here too! 😉
I love your photos, they're always so vivid.
The outfit is perfect, love the casual, yet polished look.
LOL – to this day I recognize any Queen song. Not that I was the avid fan; my good friend was. I heard the lyrics and the details and the gossip and… and… and… She skipped her grade twelve final exams to go to a concert.
Pretty day!! And, loved the outtakes:-)
Queen fan here too. your last few photos had me wondering if anyone was kite surfing there – now we know.
These suggestions for posing are alot of fun!
I want to ride my bike too. With my goose.
You do casual-chic well. Have a good weekend!
Except that Cousin It was never so well dressed!
Love the cardigan.
It's sich a treat to see your outfit in these onderful locations. Fabulous!
Yeah, for bicycles! We have a two seater and keep TALKING about doing a weekend trip on it…but I notice it isn't happening. Are kite surfers a common thing in your area?
Terri, yes kite surfing is a veeery popular sport here. Both my husband and youngest son kite-surf, on the ocean as well as the river.
