Here's what I wore to go to the doctors:
Sunnies: Rayban new Wayfarers
Brooch: gifted floral brooch
Top: Zalora basics ruffle hem tank in black
Skirt: Cheap Monday interrupted stripe skirt in grey
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Simple outfit for a doctor's visit in the afternoon and staying at home all morning as we had the pest guy over. The style challenge for the day was "pinned", so I took the chance to wear this cute floral brooch from my bestie. I'd been meaning to pin it onto one of my bags so I can wear it more often, but I hadn't gotten around to it. I thought worn like this, it added some nice interest to this black tank too.
When I bought this tank and thought about all the ways I could wear it, I realised it was quite limited. I decided on this day to try wear it tucked in for a change, as I hadn't thought of that before. The top has a cute ruffle detail at the bottom so it's a slight peplum. This skirt flares out around the waist anyway so I didn't feel that the peplum added any bulk to it. It certainly would have been too much if I'd tried to layer it under a tighter more bodycon skirt though. Was really pleased with how this turned out, and how I managed to make the tank look quite different from how it looked the last time I wore it.
Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarers, peplum tank, striped skirt, Havaianas.
Here's what I wore to run errands and do a bit of shopping:
Shirt: Target mint stripe shirt
Shorts: Jeanswest black denim cuff shorts
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Such a busy day! Had some errands to run in the morning, found and dropped my camera off at a repair place approved by my insurer, and then did a little bit of op-shopping (thrifting). I didn't buy anything, but I was on the hunt for a pretty dress for Christmas. This is the first year in a long time that I haven't bought a new outfit to wear on Christmas day, and I was hoping I could satisfy my urge for something new without spending too much by getting something second hand. One of the stores had a sale on and dresses were $5, but there was nothing perfect for me, so I passed on the ones I'd tried on. I didn't really need a new dress anyway, I have plenty! It's just a want.
This outfit was comfortable and cool for all the running around I did. The shirt is super-soft cotton, so nice. The style prompt for the day was "His". None of hubby's clothes would fit me, and I definitely couldn't wear anything that belongs to the baby or the dog...so I went kind of menswear inspired with the shirt and Converse Chucks. Thought it was a nice twist on the theme.
Last worn: striped shirt, denim shorts, Converse.

Awww I guess the new dress just wasn't meant to be, despite your desire. Then again the day is young and there's still a few more days to come before Christmas so you might end up finding something unexpected (and on sale). Good luck!

Thanks Sonia! I've been really picky with wardrobe acquisitions lately, so haven't found that perfect dress...wearing some oldies was good! :)
DeleteI don't like the idea of the pest guy coming to your home! I think I prefer the chambray shirt outfit as you look so good in baby blue.
ReplyDeleteOh he's very nice! :) We just get the house sprayed for pests every year :)
DeletePretty look!

Perfect outfits for days of running errands. For me, comfort is key when I know I have to a lot of walking. I hope you will get your camera back soon. I can't tell a difference in the photos but I am sure with the baby's 1st Christmas you want to capture all those moments.
