OOTD - Picnic - Aussie Curves Catch-ups

I hope you all had a fabulous weekend, not only is this post going to be a Aussie Curves Catch-up today, it's actually a Blog catch-up post as well. So today's outfit is my Picnic outfit, when I first saw this on the list I thought that is totally crazy, why do people dress up for picnics, then soon after I thought to myself, yes I am definitely one of those people. I admit I never use to be as a Picnic is usually about the food and the scenery, but I do.

Why? because I love picnics, it's a great opportunity to get outdoors and do something especially when the weather is fantastic, take a ball or some stale bread to feed the ducks, it's a chance for me to pull out my vintage picnic set that I absolutely neglected to take any photos of. Sadly I didn't take any photos when we went on our picnic, I only remembered to when I got home.

Today's outfit was very simple, a maxi dress with horizontal stripes, totally against all the rules taught to me about choosing the right patterns for my body shape, but I love this dress and it loves me hehe. I love material because it'stretch and comfortable. The necklace I bought from a place called Origin, my pink zebra striped jandals and a teal cardi because it was a little nippy.

Waitangi Day Special - New Dress Tradition

For those who don't know, Waitangi Day is a national public holiday, similar to Australia Day, it is definitely a CELEBRATION DAY for our family and we always like to do something family orientated. Whether it be going to Waitangi for the day and enjoying the many events that have been prepared or just plain going for a picnic somewhere.

Today we decided to head to Army Bay for the day, SUN, BEACH, FOOD, SUN, FOOD, BEACH. It was a fantastic day, remembering that we have been so lucky to be blessed with a day off in the middle of the week, it was awesome down time for all of us. 

I felt I needed to do a special post of the day, purely because I have noticed that for the past five years I have bought a new dress for every Waitangi Day, it's sort of a tradition I started for myself hehe. Just another reason to go shopping hehehe I suppose. I wish I had photos of every outfit I have had for the past five Waitangi Day Celebrations. Is this something you do maybe? Do you buy a new outfit for a annual celebration?

So this is my dress I bought especially for Waitangi, I hope you all like it!
