  2. Hmmm - was thinking "italian nonna" but you already have all black listed and you're not quite the right shape, ie too tall & thin

  3. Not sure if your wardrobe could handle it but I'd love to see you dress as "Shazza from Queanbeyan". Perhaps someone could lend you 4 or 5 toddlers as an accessory.

    Other ideas include "American Tourist" or "Unix Nerd".

  4. I am thinking Victorian....perhaps a Wizard of Oz theme again ts may be needed to sell the look.

    You're like those cut out paper dolls we had as kids! Remember those cut out paper dolls? I had to make my own because we couldn't afford real paper dolls.
    I'm suggesting hipster, or scene kid. Or fashion faux pas! Like "blue and green", "spots and stripes", "socks and sandals", or the infamous "crocs week!"
    My parents wear crocs with socks :(

  7. I like the idea of Shazza from Queanbeyan but you would also need to have the obligatory packet of winney blues being carted around either folded into the T shirt sleeve or stuck in the bra.

    I also think you need to have at least one product related to feral/pest animals on each day - cat skin hat, feralmone deodorant, cane toad skin wallet etc.

    Another one is "Urkle" from the 80's sitcom "Family matters" but you are probably too young to remember that one.

  8. What about "Kath & Kim" week. You will need a blonde afro to boot? :)

  9. How do you like green? In the run-up to St Patrick's Day on 17 March, various shades from the emerald isle, like leprechaun to clover green, and textures from moss and lace to Christmas tree spruce. A bit of blended blarney.

  10. Dame Edna "look alike". Gladis tied to handbag, aussie flag accessories. Special glasses for every day of the week - Big Banana Monday, Southern Cross Tuesday, Convict Theme Wednesday, Sydney to Hobart Yacht race Thursday, Uluru Friday, Harbour Bridge Saturday, Fairy Penguine Sunday

  12. Hey Style Icon, how about 'Decades from the 20th Century' eg flapper from the 1920's, stylish suit with a nipped waist from the 40's, full skirted dress with a sweet little cardie from the 50's, 60's hippie. That's makes four days, and if you wanted to round out the week there are so many lovely looks from the 70's and 80's to choose from ;-) I probably still have a few things in my closet you can borrow!

  13. What about a rainbow week? New colour for each day - Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet - with pictures posted to prove you did it!

  14. Great suggestions so far! How about country gal, looks inspired by a different film each day, looks inspired by a different popstar each day (Spice girls or Lady Gaga day would be fun!!) Harajuku girls, op-shop or boho...

  15. Maybe mediaeval style?
