Grey Tee, Pencil Skirt, Marco Tagliaferri Birk Bag | French Connection Print Dress, Pistol Boots, Vintage LV Speedy Bag

Here's what I wore to work on Wednesday:

Scarf: black and blue Alexander McQueen paisley print scarf
Bracelets: the usual
Tee: Cotton On 'Asher' short sleeve tee in white and grey marl deck stripe
Skirt: Jeanswest zip detail ponte pencil skirt
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs studded mouse flats in grey
Bag: Marco Tagliaferri first generation birk bag in navy from HGBags Online

Despite almost losing my voice I still had to give a little presentation at work on Wednesday, so dragged myself out of bed to go in. I wanted to be comfortable more than anything, so wore a nice tee under my pencil skirt and of course a big scarf to keep me warm.


Last worn: Paisley scarf, stripe tee, pencil skirt, studded mouse flats, Marco Tagliaferri bag.

Here's what I wore to work today:

Scarf: Cotton On white pashmina
Bracelets: the usual plus gifted Ferragamo double wrap bracelet
Dress: French Connection 'Woodblock wonder' panache dress in white/geranium rose
Belt: C/O Poppywinkle brown weave belt (came with Janet top)
Shoes: Acne pistol boots in "skin"
Bag: Vintage Louis Vuitton speedy 25 in monogram canvas

Another big scarf! It was a little too warm for this scarf today, although it was nice in the air conditioning at work and I wanted to keep my neck bundled up. There is probably zero benefit to my health but something in my brain just wants to wear scarves when I'm unwell. Maybe it's to lessen the blow of having to get out from under the doona each morning, haha!

I tried on a few printed scarves with this dress but wasn't quite sure that they looked okay, so went for the safe option with this big white pashmina instead. Would you wear a printed scarf with this dress? What do you think?


Last worn: orange dress, belt, pistol boots, speedy bag.
First time the scarf has been worn on the blog, but I've had it years.

Took my blog photos a little differently on on Saturday - first time using a proper tripod! Usually my photos are a mix of those taken by DH and those taken on self timer with a gorillapod and a tall object I can put the camera on. Now I have a tripod I can take photos anywhere, so I took these photos while on a long walk with Cooper. I just have to get better at finding a shady spot for photos though!

First day back in the office after being stuck at home for a couple of days. A skull scarf and studded dress and shoes felt like necessary accessories for me to get out of bed, haha! Thought that the studded shoes would be nice with the studs on the dress, but with the shoes being silver it didn't pair as well as I thought.

Close up of accessories and bag:

I was hunting through my wardrobe earlier in the week looking for a particular black top - that I decided not to wear anyway once I found it - and came across this top. I really love the colours and print on it, but I haven't worn it much, which is a shame. Last time I wore it was January 2011. It's crazy that I can let such a pretty top go unworn for over 2 years, and that I have enough clothes in my wardrobe to allow that to happen!!!


The jeans were last worn here, shoes here and bag here. This is the first wearing of the top on the blog.

My sister in law no longer wanted this shirt, so she passed it onto me. I think it's great for work and I really like the polka dots. It's got little ties on the sleeves and one around the body so you can pull it into more of a peplum shape. Will have to try that next time.


This is the first time I've worn the shirt as it was recently given to me. The skirt was last worn here, shoes here and bag here.

Unfortunately the sun peeked out from the clouds just as we were taking photos, and I'd forgotten to bring a pair of sunnies! Should be more prepared.

Today was a cooler day with all the rain so I dressed for warmth and comfort as we went shopping to find DH a new pair of shoes. Of course while we were shoe shopping I popped into a few other stores ;) Only bought one item - a cute polka dot skirt - which I'm looking forward to wearing to work soon. :)

I didn't do this dress any justice last time I wore it either, although at least you can see the shape of the skirt this time. I really need to get photos of it before I wrinkle it up after a day at work! It's just one of those pieces that wrinkles so easily unfortunately. Such a classic easy dress to wear though, so I keep it around. Minimal accessories as I just wanted to be comfortable for my first day back in the office after being so ill last week.
