Playground but make it far-shion.

Some little snippets from a cloudless wintertime afternoon at the playground (affectionately known as the "Ma & Pa Kettle Park" owing to the hayseed-shack-style, hillbilly-looking cubby houses) with my cousin & her two rambunctious munchkins. I'm posing in the rope ladder cylinder wearing a gorgeous, vibrant floral jacquard fit-to-flare dress from Taking Shape with a matching neon yellow puffer vest from Rockmans (yup, I'm from Queensland & yet I own a selection of puffer items in a variety of hues but the bigger question here is probably why I'm wearing a voluminous "event" dress to a playground... you know, fashion blogger life...), navy neoprene & sequinned sneakers with thick rubber soles from Wittner which were, in all honestly, woefully inadequate for doing any ACTUAL exercise/climbing due to their weight & "chunkiness" but looked awesome regardless & finally, a navy vinyl crossbody bag with pompom strap & silver hardware from French Connection to carry all the essentials while keeping my hands free for child-wrangling & exploration & scooter-ing on the new path by the manmade lake (sadly not pictured).
