Printed Jacket, Sequin Tank, Jeans, Silver Flats, Balenciaga Work

Here's what I wore to work and a colleagues's leaving drinks today:

Jacket: Ally printed jacket from Frock Up Vintage Fair (similar here)
Bracelets: the usual plus Indigo Rose Design black leather Swarovski beaded wrap bracelet
Top: Just Jeans sequin front black tank (similar here)
Jeans: Sass and Bide "Frayed Misfits" (similar here)
Shoes: Rubi silver primo ballet flats
Bag: Balenciaga classic work in 2006 Rouille


Decided not to wear a necklace today as the front of this top has enough detail on it to add some interest. Just wanted to wear something nice and relaxed today so this seemed like a good choice, and the blazer kept me warm this evening. Should have worn sunnies though, squinting a bit in the photo, haha!

Wasn't feeling too well today so I just wanted to wear something easy for work. This is very similar to this previous outfit, but different bag and less accessories. It's good to have outfits to reapeat that are comfortable and just work with little fuss. We were running late this morning so when plaid shirt man got into the background of the photo we just had to go with it. Hope he doesn't mind his back being online!

Awkward face in the photos due to feeling awkward as we tried to take photos between cars passing by this morning. Not a good look!
Wanted to wear my rouille work again today so thought this printed dress would look nice with it. The dress print is more yellow than orange, but I think it looked okay. What do you think?

Paisley Print Jacket, Singlet, Moss Green Skinny Jeans, Balenciaga Mango Envelope Clutch

Here's what I wore to go out for brunch and visit the Home Festival today:

Bracelets: the usual plus two metal and fabric Indigo Rose Design bracelets, a gifted multicoloured woven bracelet made by my talented friend, pink fairy floss 'Plastic Fantastic' bracelet from Meekz Contemporary Jewellery, bought at the Twilight markets last night.

When we were walking around the festival today one of my sandals snapped! I was extremely lucky though as we were standing right opposite a sewing stall. The ladies there were mending and altering some clothes and kindly let me borrow a needle and thread to repair my shoe. It was quite funny as I'm not a talented sewer at all, so my friend had to capture the moment.

We had a good laugh with the ladies, as I was the third person who had stopped by with a wardrobe emergency they had helped to fix, hehe. I think there should be more of these little repair stalls dotted around the place, it certainly came in very handy today. My shoes lasted for the rest of the day, but maybe won't last much longer which is a shame as I wear them a lot and they go with so much. Will need to look for a good replacement! Any suggestions?

Today my sister and I took our friend to the Ekka for the first time. The Ekka is a big show that runs for a week in the middle of Brisbane. There are rides, shopping, entertainment, exhibitions, displays, competitions and lots of animals. You can find out more here if you're interested. It's really loud, crowded and expensive but a lot of fun too.

My outfit changed slightly throughout the day. The jacket came off quickly as it was really warm and sunny. I bought an awesome pair of yellow sunnies and put them on instead of my Dior ones so I could match my sister with hers, and I bought a beautiful bracelet that had to be added to my wrist too. Saved adding it to the green bag that was filling with showbags and everything else we had bought or won at the shows ;)

And as you can see, thumbs up was the unofficial picture pose of the day. My camera is full of poses of us with our thumbs up. :) It was a really fun day.

More Ekka pictures on Instagram.
