Yes, another long sleeve top, pretty skirt combo. I've been very uninspired this week, sorry! Just so cold and wet in the mornings again, not very nice after our warm weekend. Have to admit, it's been nice to have an easy ready-to-go outfit to fall back on. Although I may have been wearing my skull scarves a bit much - a colleague noticed this one and was amazed I could have a cheerful pink scarf covered in skulls. He's quite amused I have so many colours and variations, haha.
Last worn: printed leather jacket, Alexander McQueen floral skull scarf, grey long sleeve tee, jacquard skirt, patent flats, Balenciaga magenta work.

Here's what I wore for casual Friday today:
Jacket: Wittner Santa Fe cobalt blue leather jacket
Scarf: Alexander McQueen modal and cashmere skull scarf
Top: Topshop grey knitted scoop neck top
Jeans: Sass and Bide strayed misfits skinny jeans
Shoes: Wittner 'Lumen' heel in patent leather
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Marco Tagliaferri first generation birk bag in navy
Jeans for casual Friday! I bought this grey jumper earlier in the year in Melbourne, thinking it would be really practical and I'd wear it often. This is only the second wearing and I'm surprised I haven't worn it as much as I thought I would. This scarf on the other hand, I thought may be a nice neutral I'd reach for now and then, and I'm wearing it a LOT at the moment as it seems to go with everything. Funny how that happens. Maybe points to me needing to understand my wardrobe better before I make purchases?
Do you have things you wear more or less than you thought you would when you bought them? Or tips for how to identify things you won't wear often when shopping?
Last worn: blue leather jacket, Alexander McQueen scarf, Topshop knit, Sass and Bide jeans, nude heels, Marco Tagliaferri bag.
Linking up with Friday's Fancies, Friday's Five, Casual Friday today.

hey mica! i've loved the outfits you put together this week. you did a great job (as always) i love that pink, purple and black outfit above. it's so pretty together. i also love the different shades of blue you used for the second outfit. oh yes! i wear some things over and over. others are a little more challenging and sit in my closet. hahaha when buying, i try to think of at least 3 ways i would wear that outfit before purchasing or 3 places i could wear the outfit.

Cute pink and black outfit :D
ReplyDeleteI adore black and pink together! It's funny how a male co worker noticed your cheerful skull scarf lol I think when shopping we all fall back to what we feel comfortable with...for me it'd be blazer fitted around the waist and boot legged jeans to flatter my "athletic" thighs lol
ReplyDeleteHowever this season I told myself its time to break out my of comfort shell....I purchased two jean shorts but in light coloured and several bright fitted Ts! So far I'm liking it and although it did feel a bit strange but I'm slowly getting used to throw on things I wear at a brain-dead moment lol
I love shorts on you, you have great legs! :)
DeleteBut it is easy to fall back on a comfortable easy outfit every now and then :)
Wow you look absolutely stunnig.
ReplyDeleteI really love your sense of style :)
have a nice day!
I love both of these outfits!! Your blue leather jacket is so fun! You look great girl!

ReplyDeleteAsos has a great closeup, and I kinda have a photo on facebook here too. it's a lovely print :)
DeleteThat pink bag is great! And I like your casual look :-)
ReplyDeleteIt happens to me all the time where I will buy something I swear is very versatile, but then I never figure out how to wear it. Hahahah. Loving both of these outfits Mica, especially the pop of pink from the scarf in the first outfit!

ReplyDeleteThank you all for your kind comments :)
ReplyDeleteI love the match-matchy feel of the first outfit with the bright scarf and bag and I also love the subtleness
ReplyDeleteof the second outfit. I cannot chose between those AMQueen scarves - they are so beautiful and I like to see that you're getting your money's worth by wearing them :)
Yep, I want to wear them a lot, probably a little because I want to get my money's worth, haha! But mostly because they are pretty awesome :)
