Love that lacey skirt! And, your idea of each photo staged in front of the same stretch of river is wonderful…I'm really enjoying the regularity. (?hmmm)

Thanks for your lovely comments on my blog! Love the lace skirt. At risk of offending it reminds me of my eldest daughter who insisted on wearing bloodstones with her little pink lace fairy dress. It made for a totally unique and funky look.

I love the outfit. I love the sunshine. Today has been raining all day long and hailed. Hoping my parents bring over the nicer weather tomoz night when they fly over for a visit. They also have a ton of pressies too but of course they're all for the grandkids and I won't get a look in. Typical! 😉 hehe.

Another beautiful outfit. Love your lace skirt.

As an aside, I was watching the last episode, last scene, of Tim Winton's Cloudstreet (on Showtime) last night and thought of you. 🙂 The mini-series was filmed in WA, and the first and last scenes were filmed beside what I assume was the Swan River. It reminded me so much of your photos. I swore I saw you standing on the side lines, just out of shot. 😉

Love your skirt. Clever idea.

It's nice to see you still have sunshine. It's been bitterly cold here today, rain, wind you name it we've had it. I love that you have the same but differing backdrop each day.

What a distinct lace skirt. Love how you combined it with the boots to toughen it up. It would have been too saccharine with heels.

I love the skirt. The layers and the soft lace are perfect together.

While your scenario is the same, I'm enjoying a lot of variations of color and light in every picture, it's a beautiful sight to my eyes. Of course, like your outfits in the photo.
