Floral Print Dress, Chloe Marcie Bag | Grey Tee, Jeans, Leather Jacket, Alexander Wang Rocco

Here's what I wore to work on Thursday:



JacketAsos Black by Markus Lupfer printed leather jacket
Necklacecustom Cooper charm by Silhoupette
DressLeona Edmiston Blanche dress
Belt: came with dress
ShoesMarc by Marc Jacobs patent leather logo plaque flats
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe Marcie medium hobo bag in Nut


Wore this leather jacket as it's a little cold in the mornings to be going without a jacket on top, but I'm not too sure it looked right with the print of the dress. It did keep me warm though :) I think maybe I could have gone for a different bag and shoes too. What do you think? I just think something looks a little off about the outfit in the photos.

ShoesMarc by Marc Jacobs patent mouse flats in black and white
Bracelets: the usual plus gifted Balenciaga classic double tour bracelet in pearly grey
BagAlexander Wang Rocco with gold hardware in dark argon


Jeans for casual Friday! :) Couldn't decide what shoes to wear with this, so went with my trusty little mouse flats in the end. I thought my blue glitter ones looked a bit odd with the gold hardware of the bag, but I probably could have just worn them anyway. My feet were certainly happy with the mice though, the comfiest ballet flats I own!

Work has been a little hectic this week - so Tuesday it was time to pull out a comfortable outfit! This tee is another one of my purchases from my DFO shopping trip on the weekend. As usual, I bought lots in Jeanswest, haha. Tried to take a photo to show off the colourblocking, as the back of this tee is pink. You can see a better pic on instagram.

I've shared a couple of times on the blog about the presentation group we have had in the office the past two months. Today was the final session where we had to present to the entire department and show them what we had learned. I was extremely nervous! Wore heels for a bit of a confidence boost, and a pretty dress. Was so pleased by everyone who turned up to support us, and all of the encouraging things people said afterwards. I know I have a lot further to go, but I've really improved my public speaking. Had a big slice of cake afterwards as a reward! :)

Thought I'd share with you that the Melbourne designed Kiargo and Funkita Form swimwear labels are having an end of season sale! Although it's been too cold to swim in the pool this month and I've just been using it as a photo backdrop, I'm hoping in September I'll be able to enjoy taking a dip now and then. No harm in stocking up on swimwear now while it's on sale ;) I really like the Mansfield bikini for classic pool-side glamour.

Here's what I wore on Sunday:



Top: The Getaway Plan circle band tee (New purchase)
Skirt: Thrifted black and white pleated striped maxi skirt from AWLQ jumble sale
ShoesNineWest Lovelyou studded flats in black
Bracelets: the usual plus old Diva purple, blue and pink bracelet stack
BagRebecca Minkoff mini MAC with python embossed leather in aquamarine


Relaxing Sunday after a busy Saturday. After the day time trip DFO to shop for Father's Day, we went and saw The Getaway Plan on Saturday night. Although they were all sold out of tees in my size, I have a tradition of buying a band tee every time I see someone play...so I bought this one anyway. I think it looks okay oversized, what do you think? Maybe with a less voluminous skirt next time. It was certainly very comfortable though!


Last worn: striped maxi skirt, studded ballet flats, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC. First time I've worn the tee as it is a new purchase.

BagMarc by Marc Jacobs Classic Q Hillier Hobo in blush pink with silver hardware


This top is one of the pieces I bought for myself at DFO on Saturday. Such a nice print, thought I'd pair it with a plain black pencil skirt to let the top take all of the attention. Always nice to wear a bit of colour on a Monday, so I paired it with a pink bag as well.

DFO Brisbane: Shopping for Father's Day

Father's Day is getting closer (next Sunday!)  so today I headed out to Brisbane DFO in the hunt for the perfect Father's Day gift for my Dad and Father-in-law. I usually find guys are so tricky to buy for.

Thankfully, Brisbane DFO has a lot of choices available for men's fashion, and some special offers just for Father's Day. We had a nice day browsing some of the stores and looking for great gifts for guys. And of course we couldn't resist buying a few things for ourselves! At up to 70% off, it's hard not to buy!


Here's what I wore:

BagBalenciaga part time in black 2010 with GSH


Gave up trying to handle the cold and just wore pants to work Thursday, haha! Didn't realise how Asos-centric this outfit was until I wrote the post... Picked this top to wear as it was a little more formal to balance out the comfy pants for the office, and because I haven't worn it in a while.

Added the pink scarf to keep me warm and to add a bit of colour to what I was wearing. Have been a little repetitive lately with pulling this jacket, but it's right at the front of my wardrobe after I put it away so it's the first one I reach for!

A different jacket at last! Thought I would try red with this blue jacket for a change :) Simple casual Friday outfit, again more for warmth than anything. Was too cold to even realise how bad the lighting was this morning, not one of my better pictures with a super sunshine-y neck. I loved the outfit though.
Kept my scarf on in the office as the red felt nice and cheerful against the grey. Also had some flowers on my desk as it was Daffodil Day today. Was lovely smelling them through the day.

Nice casual outfit for Tuesday to work from home. I started early and worked late so that I could have an hour long lunch with my mum and sister. Was nice to get out of the house for a while, and Cooper enjoyed seeing them as much as I did :) Although it was a little windy as you can see in the picture, it was still warm enough in the sun to go without a jacket. Thanks to my sister for taking these pics and snapping a great one of Cooper, looks like he is laughing!

Bag: Marco Tagliaferri first generation Birk bag in navy


After the warm weather we have been having, being back to single digits was a bit of a shock. Even found myself wishing I'd worn a scarf too this morning. I thought the leather jacket over the chunky knit felt a little bulky, but it was too cold to consider going jacket-less today. Just want to be warm and comfortable :)
Have been wary in the past about wearing this pencil skirt with black, and tried to avoid it as much as possible. But when it went so well with my opaque tights last time I wore it, I was happy to pair the colours together again. It looks better than I thought it would. What do you think?

Nice simple outfit for a Sunday. This maxi dress was lovely as there was a slight breeze and it was nice walking around in it, despite the dark colour. Even got the thongs (flip flops) out! Relaxing day, finishing with Church Online in the evening. Apologies for Cooper's fluffy butt in the photo, haha. He just didn't want to face the camera.

A little bit of layering today! Wasn't sure if the striped texture of the dress would pair nicely with the stripes on my tee, but I think it worked quite well. Felt quite cosy and comfortable in this all day, I really like this dress layered. Picked out this scarf to wear as originally I was going to wear a purple top underneath, but kept it for another pattern to add to the mix even though I wasn't wearing any purple.

Just a casual outfit for Casual Friday at work. Was actually cold enough in the morning to need a scarf as well as a leather jacket, not very nice to wake up to after the warmer weather for the past few days, haha. Went with pink as it matched the tee nicely and pink always looks great with this blue jacket :)

Have had another wardrobe clearout and listed a few things on ebay, including a couple of my handbags. Feel free to check it out, everything starts at 99 cents. Even the bags ;)

Jeans and a tee again for Saturday today. Ran some errands in the morning, and walked Cooper in the afternoon. Wanted to wear my new jeans :) Saw and admired these jeans on the Sass and Bide instagram months ago, and was pleasantly surprised when I checked the site Wednesday and saw they were on sale! Bought them right away without hesitating of course. So happy to have them arrive on Friday after just buying them 2 days before.

Decided to wear my Mulberry Lily bag again, as I haven't worn it in a while. Wasn't sure if it was too much suede with the shoes and bag together though, what do you think?


Last worn: Cookie Monster teered suede flats, Mulberry metallic leopard print Lily. First time I've worn the skinnies as they are a recent purchase.

Wearing my new custom necklace from Silhoupette today - it's a little silhouette of Cooper! Absolutely adore it, when it arrived yesterday I was showing everyone in the office who came up to my desk, haha. I ordered it a while ago, and as it was completely custom made it took a few weeks to arrive, but it's definitely worth the wait.

Also, I'm wearing jeans and a tee today as it's Brisbane show day - so everyone in Brisbane has a public holiday for the Ekka. Last year we went to the Ekka, but this year we stayed home. Didn't get up to much as my knee is still playing up a little, trying to do light exercise to build it up again.

Accidentally slept in this morning, so got ready in half the time and grabbed a very quick couple of photos before running to work. Didn't notice the hair over my face until afterwards...but at least I made it to work on time :)

You may have noticed a new badge on my blog in the top right, or on my instagram ;)


I'm a blogger for Brisbane DFO! I'm so excited! I often shop the local factory outlets at Brisbane airport, to buy new clothes or presents or things I need for trips. It's somewhere I make sure to take my friends and relatives to when they visit, as there is always something to buy and lots of bargains with things up to 70% off!

The majority of my wardrobe consists of sale purchases, and a lot of them come from DFO. To provide an example, the snakeprint tee I wore Wednesday, and the top and pencil skirt I'm wearing today are all DFO purchases!

Very excited about this new role and looking forward to sharing more about DFO with you in the coming weeks. Thank you to all of my new and long term readers for supporting me and making this possible :) As always, if you have any questions or comments or suggestions, the comment box is there.

ShoesNine West fascinate ballet flats in silver glitter
Bracelets: the usual
BagSarah Conners python bag in ebony


Bare legs! It was predicted to be really warm on Monday, so decided to go without tights. Warmed up nicely during the day, and I didn't miss them much. So happy for Spring!
This shirt is the other pieces I picked up at the op-shop at the local festival a while ago. Couldn't believe I found a new Ben Sherman shirt in my size! Definitely a lucky find. Tried to dress it down a little and not be too formal by leaving it un-tucked over my skirt, although I think it would look nice tucked in too.


Last worn: printed leather jacket, navy and black pencil skirt, glitter flats, Sarah Conners bag. First time I've worn the shirt as it was a recent purchase.

Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Nikki in Silverstreak


Bare legs again today! This outfit is inspired by a lovely lady I walked past in the street the other day, who if she wasn't wearing this skirt, was wearing one extremely similar. Really liked the look of the plain long sleeve black top with the skirt, and was able to recreate her outfit for myself. Unfortunately, the dreaded knee brace is back as last night I managed to slip and twist my knee. So I wore my comfiest flats too.

It was so beautifully warm on Saturday we decided to go for a bit of a walk with Cooper. It was really nice, and was so lovely to just wear a tank! In the evening it started to cool off again, so I added a jumper to go have dinner with family.
Ended up doing the "stereotypical fashion blogger" photos at the side of the road, but it was quieter than the park that had a bit of a crowd brought out by the nice weather.

Spent the morning with DH running a few errands, and had lunch. Today was even warmer, so I took advantage of the sunshine again. Bare legs for the first time in a while! Wanted to wear something a little different from jeans :) In the heat of the day I was even wishing I hadn't worn the boots, but it was cool enough for them in the morning.

Just need to learn to get better photos in the sun - I think the hair falling on my face didn't help, haha!

Really felt like wearing blue and grey again on Thursday. Wanted to be comfortable, but also had an important meeting in the afternoon. I thought this jacket was a nice way to dress up a tee. It was a little cold though! The day before had been warm as I planned the outfit, but in the single digit temperatures on the way to work in the morning I was wishing I'd not picked a cropped sleeve jacket, haha!

Jeans for casual Friday! Had an off-site event today so carried my neverfull to hold all the important bits and pieces I needed. Ended up being a really long day.

I was pleased I'd picked flats to wear as during the morning the fire alarm sounded and we all had to evacuate. From the 17th level! Wasn't very fun, but it did give us a bit of a break in the day and let us enjoy the sunshine for a bit. :)
