My Maiden Aunt's Mind Is Vicious

Brrr....! I know when you think about cold places in winter, Brisbane doesn't exactly rank highly, however getting dressed in 8 degrees is cold! And because we're not a winter country, we don't have appropriate heating. We also have Queenslander houses which are not, repeat not, designed for winter months. Gaps in the floor boards, flimsy windows - let alone windows that never shut - and the general mindset that it's not necessary to heat, so we suffer in freezing silence. The benefit of Brisbane winter is that by about 10am, it's a hearteningly pleasant 20 degrees. Which makes Mink Pink's winter offerings of ripped stockings, flimsy scarves and dainty tees totally acceptable.



It also means otherwise ridiculous items could potentially have a purpose - such as sequin knickers.
