Windy Day – Daily Style

Windy Day – Daily Style
Carly Jacobs

Today was a crazy busy day again as usual. This afternoon I’m off to have coffee with my lovely friend (might squeeze in a little shopping first) and then I’m going to bed early tonight. Seriously. If I don’t I may well die.  

* Opaques from Myer

* Shoes from Gertrude St in Melbourne

* Dress from Brand Depo

* Cardigan from Giovanni

* Belt thrifted

* Hair clip from Sportsgirl

* Head band from Diva

* Necklace from Robin’s Jewellery Box

I learnt something really interesting today. You know how when people get really, really scared they…um…defecate themselves? Ever wondered why that happens? Well apparently it’s based on an actual animalistic in-built panic response that we humans have. Millions of years ago if human beings were being threatened by a dinosaur, the main threat was that we were going to be eaten. The body’s mechanical response is to make itself as unappealing as quickly as possible to deter the hungry predator who, if all goes according to plan, will now be turned off their dirty victim. So there you have it. That’s why we shit ourselves when we are scared. Aren’t you glad I share these things with you?

Love Lady Smaggle

    Wait a second, I thought man and dinosaurs never co-existed…? Now I’m really confused! My poor brain..
    If I was living with dinosaurs I would just smother my entire body in shit (lol)- never thought I’d ever say that..

    I love the look–the details throughout are so rich. It sort of reminds me of that Dolce and Gabbana season with the brocades and also the 1920s.
    Next time I’m threatened by a dinosaur, I’ll know what to do!

    lol – dying laughing….i will do that the next time my boss comes to my cube to try to chat me up for no apparent reason…lol

    but on a serious note, i would totally try to poo if somebody attempted to rape me or something. cuz seriously, how appealing would that be?

    I’d like to say how much I adore the hair clip and whole outfit, but right now I can only think about shit and dinosaurs… Sorry 🙂

    The Clothes Horse – Well I think it’s important that people know these things! 🙂

    YB – Ew! That should do it!

    Dulcynea – Oh no! Please don’t let my potty mouth distract from the outfit! 🙂
