Close up of accessories and bag:
I feel I need to explain this Monday work outfit! Due to the high temperatures we are experiencing in Queensland we have been encouraged to wear casual outfits to work. It's been mentioned before, but the current area I work in is very much on the casual side of "business casual" so it's not that much different now we are allowed "smart casual" really.
Usually smart casual office wear automatically means denim but it's much too hot for that. Although there was a few brave people wearing jeans in the office today! I thought a light maxi skirt was a nice length for keeping cool and the bright tee made a nice summer outfit. As you can see in the photo my skirt caught the breeze quite a bit :) Think next time I need to wear a more fitted top though - looks a little messy after a long day!
The sunnies were last worn here, skirt here, shoes here and bag here. This is the first time I've worn this top.

Beautiful skirt! Wearing maxi is indeed a great way to enhance an office outfit, and I can imagine how intolerable jeans can be when the temperatures hit the ceiling:)

You're having a hot day, we had our first snow! I think I wish I was in Queensland now, as I hate the cold, wet snow! :) I do love your necklace though, it's SO pretty! x
ReplyDeleteThank you. Some snow would be nice, we never get snow here!
DeleteI think you look casually polished :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely skirt, my only suggestion is to add a belt.
Thank you! I think I will do that next time, I have a belt in mind :)
DeleteGreat maxi skirt!

ReplyDeleteChic on the Cheap
Thanks! I rarely find anything, but knew I had to have this when I saw it. My wonderful tailor had to take it in to make it fit me, but worth every penny, still less than what I'd pay in a store :) the AWL has the best thrift stores!
Deleteit´s great, really love it!
ReplyDeleteit´s great, really love it!

Deleteyou look so beautiful in a loing back skirt! Love Cooper's appearance too :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Cecylia :) He was wondering what was hitting him as the hem caught in the wind I think! Always try take photos with him but he's not as camera trained as Theodore :P
DeleteI recently bought a leather cuff from Saba, similar to yours and I just love wearing it. The Hermes one is next on my list! xoxox
ReplyDeleteOooh I would LOVE a Hermes one - and the budget to be able to get it, haha. But I don't wear this as much as I thought I would, so think a Hermes one is out for me :(
DeleteThank you all for your lovely comments and encouragement :)
ReplyDeletehahahah I have a knock of version of that HoH necklace! I love it!
ReplyDeleteThere are so many inspired versions around! It's such a good piece I think that is why :)
