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:
Necklace: custom Cooper charm by Silhoupette
Top: Spectrum basic v-neck tee in washed lilac
Jeans: Sass & Bide Jekyll and Hyde zippora jeans
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs studded mouse flats in grey
Bracelets: the usual plus Indigo Rose Design black leather Swarovski beaded wrap bracelet
Bag: Balenciaga RH city in 2008 sapphire
Last worn: lilac tee, zippora jeans, studded mouse flats, Balenciaga city bag.
Yep, that's a few shopping bags.....click through to see more pictures.
Browsing in Country Road:
Big shout-out to the super helpful sales assistants in Country Road! They were really helpful when I explained we needed a bit of help shopping for menswear and pointed out lots of great options to us. The store was setup really well to make shopping for Father's Day easier.
Checking out the shirts in Industrie:
In the end we came home with some great bargains:
- Industrie Leonard short sleeve shirt reduced from $49.95 to $20
- Industrie Mulvane short sleeve shirt reduced from $49.95 to $20
- Industrie basic crew neck tee in white reduced from $19.95 to $10
- Country Road Pique polo shirt reduced from $59.95 to $19.95
- Country Road Oxford shirt reduced from $99 to $29.95
So what do you think, did we have a successful shopping trip? We certainly saved a lot, and put some of the savings towards a few things for ourselves ;) What do you normally buy for Father's Day?

Aaaahk, I love shopping time!! (who doesn't?) And I love how you wear a nice and comfortable outfits for shopping. You know, I wonder how people can wear some "difficult" outfit for shopping. Seriously, Especially when the entire mall says end of season sale. I usually spend all day at the mall to explore every stores. That's why I need a comfy outfits for that time. So I can explore all of them one by one to find some great items with affordable price :)

I have driven passerby a few times but never went inside (one time was Sunday afternoon it was too late and they were closed already). I reckon you did good on the gifts! Men are hard to shop for!! Show me what you got for yourselves? lol
ReplyDeleteI'll be wearing some of the stuff I bought over the week! :) And I think DFO is open till 6 now, it's really good! :)

ReplyDeleteI never knew that Fathers day (and I'm assuming Mother's day) are on different days in different countries! Ours is the third Sunday in June (or second, I can never remember) :P

Yes, I'm learning a lot about the different days! :)
DeleteI love DFO! I remember going to the one in Brisbane on the way to the airport, we'd always leave a few hours early haha. They have one here too, but it's quite far away. I've always found really good bargains every time though ;) Thanks for the father's day reminder! x
ReplyDeletesteph / absolutely-fuzzy.com
Oooh that's the one I shopped at on Saturday! It's the best DFO in my slightly biased opinion, being the one I live closest too, haha!
DeleteLove those Sass and Bide jeans! Hope your fathers day shopping trip was a successful one :) x
ReplyDeleteINSIDE IN INSIDE OUT
Thanks! It was a great one :)
Deleteyou look amazing, dear!

Wow those are some really great bargains you got there!
ReplyDeletehttp://ncboodah.blogspot.ca
It's worth a trip I think! :) And I really like those jeans too.
ReplyDeleteMica, you wrapped up girl! I couldn't stop laughing at the pic you showed on FB with you sitting in that big chair with all those bags. It was too cute! Good job!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.averysweetblog.com/
hehe, thanks Kim! I always end up brining lots of bags home from DFO! :P
DeleteYou definitely had a successful trip! I love the shirts you brought home and the lucky daddies will love them undoubtedly as well :) I love outlet shopping, but there's little outlet store around where I live. It's a two-hour drive to the nearest center, so we only visit about one time a year :) xo
ReplyDeleteThanks Nikki! I hope they like the gifts too! :)
DeleteI'm lucky (and my credit card unlucky!) to live near the outlets, I think only visiting once a year is a wise choice for somewhere it takes so long to get to. otherwise you don't have much shopping time, hehe!
I usually buy my dad some cologne, lol. :D

Oh, that's a good safe purchase if you know what he likes! :)
DeleteI'm sure they will thank you for these lovely shirts. Dads don't usually seem to be the clothes shopping enthusiasts most of us girls are, so it's a good idea when we do it for them, I say! x
ReplyDeletehehe, yes! Sometimes they wouldn't grow their wardrobe at all if it wasn't for our input! :)
DeleteWhat a sweet custom charm necklace!
ReplyDeleteThank you, it's very special to me as I love Cooper so much!
DeleteOh you got some great finds here. And I love your bottoms. The print is so fun!
