French Connection Spotty Dress, Asos Aggie Ankle Boots, Balenciaga Rouille Work

Here's what I wore to work today:

Close up of accessories and bag:

I've worn this dress and boots together before with red accessories. It's a great dress to pair a bright coloured bag with, so I wore a similar outfit with my orange bag instead. Not very original, but comfortable and great for a busy Thursday.

French Connection Australia also have an extra 20% off sale dresses at the moment :)

Had to fly to Sydney again today for work, pretty long day it was a very early flight in the morning. I never feel right getting up before the sun! This outfit seemed perfect last night when I planned it but I liked it less as the day went on. I think with a loose blazer I need a more fitted top underneath? Will do it differently next time! Cooper was excited to see me home and jumped around as we took photos, very cute :)

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!

We were in a bit of a rush this morning, as you can probably tell from my "hurry up" face in the photo ;)
I really like the boots and dress combo. I have been wearing it a little lately, sorry! It's just perfect for work and the boots keep me warm in the freezing mornings we have been having. This dress is one of my favourite dresses, I'm surprised to find I've only worn it once this year. I need to wear it more often.

I've had this dress a few years and wear it every winter. This is the first time I've worn it without jeans underneath. It just felt too short though. Maybe one for the donate pile. What do you think?

Today is a special day! If you've read my blog for a while or seen the image in my sidebar you'll know I support Oscar's Law. One year ago today, Debra legally rescued Oscar from a puppy farm. Today is Oscar's "gotcha" day, celebrating his first year of freedom. 

Before being rescued, Oscar was stuck in a cage in a puppy farm and used for breeding over and over. Now, he is able to run around on the grass, get love and attention from humans and get to play with other dogs. He can curl up in a blanket when it's cold and play with toys whenever he wants. He can be a dog. You can watch the video below to see how his life has changed. I recommend it, it's such a feel good video. Especially at the end.

Pet store puppies come from puppy mills. That cute little puppy in the window has parents stuck in cages. Don't buy animals from pet stores - buy from a reputable breeder or adopt. I want Oscar's Law so that every puppy farm dog can experience freedom and have the happy ending Oscar has. 

Thank you for reading. You can find out more about Oscar at www.oscarslaw.org

I was very proud to see the photos of the "My Human Family" exhibition today. Cooper's photo was featured in an exhibit in Sydney designed to raise awareness for shelter dogs. You can view the photos of the exhibition here, or go visit it in person if you are in Sydney. Opening times of the exhibition and details of what it's for can be found here.
