Yesterday’s playful play-suited shenanigans are little more than a fading memory I am looking back on with nostalgia as I prepare myself for the brutalities of the capitalist work place.
Yes, I am off to work this morning. Luckily Sundays are considered mufti day. Although really I dress like every day’s either mufti day or a double denim fancy dress party.
Before work I am dipping myself in the denim blue of the ocean, so no more prattle. I’m in a hurry.
Abducted by aliens and turned into one of their pencil necked, big headed kind. Don't worry, no anal probes were used in the production of this image
Top: Semi-smart Moji denim shirt
Bottom: Old, faded Levi’s flares with massive turn ups
Accessory 1: Dark grey denim cap
Accessory 2: Mavi bag

With a busy busy boating schedule this morning I simply did not have time ’til now to blog the YoD.
I was too busy enjoying the delights of Sydney Harbour, choking on a rich blend of diesel and prawn juice which I managed to spatter all over myself.
All in all I still managed to look real pretty and playful as today’s denim pic displays…
Playfully in my playsuit I scan the Manly skyline for playmates
Top & Bottom combo: Last scene stunning the crowds in Noosa, the deim playsuit makes it’s debut on Sydney’s play ground, the harbour
Accessory: Dragstar large denim sun hat, which my niece decided should not spend any time on my head. Rather it should be swum out to sea and dumped. I’m not sure if this was a fashion intervention on her behalf or simply sassiness

Wow. It’s warming up and I have discovered a pair of shorts I have yet to wear. Like many other items of clothing I own they are just a little too snug round the waist.
(Sighing wistfully) If I only had a waist.
Another exciting thing is that today’s photo is one of my favourites so far.
Not only does it prove for once and all that I have absolutely no arse, the picture also suggests I may be an amputee.
So without further ado here I am…
One leg + no arse = hot patootie
Top: Dragstar vest
Bottom: My bottom (if that’s what you’d call it) is encased in never-before-worn on YoD Think Mink denim shorts
Accessory: Denim sparkly bucket hat offering no protection when I am at the beach later on

Another action packed and adventuresome morning in the YoD.
Beach, breakfast, broads, boobs and bikinis.
What an enviable life I lead, apart from the fact I can’t find a flatmate who will put up with the YoD.
I find it impossible to believe denim is not to everyone’s taste. What’s not to like about denim?
Denim is classy and trashy
Denim is stylish and bogan
Denim is hot and cold
Denim is short and long
Denim is old and new
Denim is ugly and pretty
Denim is black and white
Denim is red, white and blue
Denim is everything!
Bondi, boobs, man boobs, worker's tan and me
Top: It was fine while it was cool this morning but now it’s midday the MSK dark denim vest is super dooper sweaty
Bottom: TopGirl denim roll up shorts
Accessory 1: Shoulder bag
Accessory 2: Dark denim cap, like me and the vest, now too hot to handle

I’m up and that’s a good thing. The sun is peeking out and I think I will ride my bike and wear my denim helmet today. Of course I have forgotten to take a photo of me in the helmet. If you have can’t remember how good it looks check this out
Otherwise I am wearing this…
Blue framed by green should always be seen
Top: Ladakh striped denim jacket, light weight, chic, now if now is yesterday
Bottom: Not worn in ages Levi’s flares. Gunna have to roll them up or tuck them into my socks for the bike ride
Accessory 1: Denim shoulder bag, much used, much loved
Accessory 2: Denim gym boots. Cheap version of the rockin’ Levi’s denim shoes currently around and that I am too cheap to pay full price for
While I am on the subject of denim bags, I haven’t bought a new denim bag in months. Surely I cannot already own every type of denim bag?
I know this cannot be true because of a discussion I had with a Vietnamese check-out chick.
She was admiring the denim bag I was sporting and she told me in Vietnam denim bags made out of an old pair of jeans are very popular right now.
This is an item I need. I might even have to make it myself.
Lookout Mum, I’m coming over with some new denim sewing ideas!

I don’t mind early rising if the sun is shining. A grey drab overcast early morning ruins my blog picture.
So yes, the weather, like everything else, is all about YoD.
Another exciting occurrence is this amazing moving postcard I recieved all the way from Fatty boomsticks in Tokyo. A Verner Panton postcard that is slightly 3D. Spectacular!
Are you jealous HRH? I know I would be…
So today I am paying respect to the master of design Mr Panton by dressing in a material synonymous with his era… polyester.
Plastic fantastic polyester denim ensemble + furry poltergeist
Top: It’s new but is styled old, stretch denim Blockout coat
Bottom: Original from the early 1970s is my guess, polyester Levi’s. Aaahhhh. Sweaty
Accessory: New this year denim shoulder bag with fluoro decals Verner Panton would have approved of

Hurrah, a cool change has come through.
This is awesome in 2 ways:
1. I can wear jeans and not die of heat exhaustion
2. I can finally wear my brand new from the boutique de Pauls long alluded to denim trench coat.
P.I Jam is undercover and on the case
Top: So cool, so chic Levi’s denim trench coat
Bottom: Industrie skinny leg jeans
Accessory: denim shoulder bag with infamous red piping

Hot?
HOT!
F’N HOT!!
Thankfully I have a disaster movie to go to later on, where instead of being boiling it will be freezing. Not quite sure how I am going to manage the 2 climates. I can barely stand wearing today’s chambre twin set.
My Queensland Christmas tour in denim is starting to look like a really stupid idea. Why didn’t I book a flight to to Tasmania? If I get those health problems related to wearing too tight hot clothes I will only have yself to blame.
What I need is some nice fake denim but cotton singlets and shorts to get me through it. But do they exist, or am I going to have to get Mum to help sew me something? And could I wear those 2 items for 3 weeks straight?
So many questions and it’s too hot to think.
Muesli, a cup of tea and Video Hits, must be Sunday
Top: Thank the deity for Supre’s range of denim not denim, including this vest, altough it feels too heavy right now
Bottom: Donated Cotton On chambre shorts in desperate need of washing but I NEED them as they are the lightest weight bottoms I have. Might slip into a skirt for the movie later
Accessory: Denim birkies. Hot n sweaty, bluech

Busy busy. I’ve been up and to the beach for a swim, for a cafe breakfast, walked the dog, washed the dog AND car and done a load of washing all before midday.
All of that activity is procrastination.
There’s something I have been avoiding, something heinous and time consuming, revolting AND tedious.
What is this task so vile I haven’t spoken about it or mentioned it previously on the YoD blog?
Marking.
Oh well. The one redeeming feature of marking is that I can comfortably wear a denim short while I mark, unlike assessment. Pant pant… Cos it’s steamy again.
Woops. Unmarked marking discovered on studio floor
Top: Mum’s black denim vest, quite dykey in this combo
Bottom: TopGirl dyed blue denim shorts. Aaahhhh shorts
Accessory: Denim Birkies, nice ‘n sweaty
