Ruffle Top, Jacquard Pencil Skirt, Marco Tagliaferri Bag | Asos Lace Dress, LV Bandeau Belt, Balenciaga Sapphire City

Was off sick on Monday, I only got dressed to go walk Cooper. Will spare you the details of that outfit.

Here's what I wore to work on Tuesday:

Necklace: gift from DH
Top: Forever 21 sheer black ruffle detail shirt
Skirt: Warehouse blue jacquard pencil skirt (New purchase, using competition prize gift voucher)
Shoes: NineWest Lovelyou studded flats in black
Bracelets: the usual plus Marc by Marc Jacobs enamel turnlock stripey hinge bracelet in black and white and Indigo Rose Design black leather Swarovski beaded wrap bracelet
Bag: Marco Tagliaferri first generation birk bag in navy from HGBags Online

My new shoes arrived at work Tuesday, so I tried them on to break them in as I walked around the office, as usual. Unfortunately, I realised I was late for an appointment and rushed out the door, forgetting to swap back into the studded flats I'd worn to work. My ankles are so sore now! My own fault for not taking a moment to change out of the stiff shoes. Patent leather too, major ouch! Changed into more comfortable flats as soon as I got back to my desk. The new flats are sadly back in their box for a while I heal. Need to break shoes in slowly, not run across the city in them!


Last worn: ruffle top, studded flats, Marco Tagliaferri bag. First time I've worn the skirt.

Here's what I wore to work today:

Dress: Asos midi dress in black lace
Belt: Louis Vuitton "comete" bandeau scarf worn as a belt
Shoes: gifted Novo Carmina fuschia suede flats
Bracelets: the usual plus gifted purple Salvatore Ferragamo 'Vara' leather bow bracelet
Bag: Balenciaga RH city in 2008 sapphire

Thought I would add a little bit of colour to the black dress with some bright accessories. I wanted to add pink and purple to match the scarf, but it wasn't until I looked at the photos that I realised even my orange nails matched one of the scarf colours!


Last worn: lace midi dress, LV bandeau scarf, pink suede flats, sapphire Balenciaga city.

Sass and Bide Leopard Tee, Skinny Jeans, RM Mini MAC | Grey Scarf, Feather Print Maxi, Balenciaga City

Jeans: Jeanswest Super Skinny Jeans in Mid Indigo
Shoes: gifted Havaianas tropical print thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus two beaded Sportsgirl Butterfly Foundation bracelets

Nice casual outfit for a relaxed Saturday. Went to visit a friend in the morning who was in a bad accident at the start of the year. Was pleased she was recovering and looking well.

Here's what I wore to go shopping today, have my sister over and work at Church Online in the evening:

Scarf: no brand grey knitted scarf
Dress: JayJays feather print maxi dress
Shoes: Rebecca Minkoff 'Beach Babe' strappy sandals in electric pink
Bracelets: the usual plus gifted purple Salvatore Ferragamo 'Vara' leather bow bracelet
Bag: Balenciaga RH city in 2008 sapphire

A few showers on an otherwise sunny day, so added a scarf to keep warm. However the open toed sandals and a maxi dress were probably not the best ideas - the dress quickly got wet and weighed down with the rain, ended up having to change when I got home. Should just keep this maxi dress for dry days!


Last worn: feather print maxi dress, pink sandals, Balenciaga sapphire city. First time I've worn the scarf.

Metallic Tee, Lace Pencil Skirt, Rocco Bag | Floral and Skull Scarf, Printed Tank, Jeans, Balenciaga Sorbet City

Here's what I wore to work on Thursday:

Bracelets: the usual plus Chloe Paddington crystal charm bracelet from Reebonz offline sale, studded and chain link Oroton leather bracelets from Designer Archives (New Purchases)
Tee: Cotton On Luxe pearl tee
Skirt: Asos blue textured lace pencil skirt
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs Logo Plaque flats in camel
Bag: Alexander Wang Rocco with gold hardware in dark argon from Reebonz

When I was trying to organise my wardrobe a couple of weeks ago I came across this metallic tee I hadn't worn in a while, and the lace pencil skirt, and realised they would pair perfectly together. Had a tricky time picking the right shoes though, haha. I got rid of my gold flats as they had seen better days, or they would have been perfect with this. In the end, went with my trusty tan shoes and a belt to try match it.


Last worn: metallic tee, lace pencil skirt, Marc by Marc Jacobs flats, Alexander Wang Rocco bag.

Here's what I wore to work for casual Friday today:

Scarf: Alexander McQueen pink pashmina in skull and floral print

Dress: Jeanswest Rema print tank in midnight / berry
Jeans: Jeanswest 'spoylt' super skinny jeans
Shoes: Wittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
Bag: Balenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet

I was going to wear this pink scarf with grey again, and had a grey tee in mind to wear. Changed my mind when I remembered I had this printed top sitting around unworn, I think the print worked well with the bright scarf. Nice casual outfit for Friday.


Last worn: McQueen skull scarf, printed tank, Jeanswest jeans, studded sandals, sorbet city bag.

Pink Floral Top, Check Pencil Skirt, Balenciaga City | Ruffle Dress, Hermes Twilly, Tan Flats

Here's what I wore to work on Monday:

Sunnies: pink leopard print sunglasses from Paddy's Markets in Sydney
Bracelets: the usual plus gifted Balenciaga classic pearly grey double tour bracelet
Top: Papyrus floral shirt and pink tank gifted from my grandma
Skirt: Asos tailored checked workwear pencil skirt
Shoes: Rubi primo ballet flats in silver
Bag: Balenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet

This is an outfit that seemed like a good idea at the time when I planned it the night before, but I didn't actually try it on until I wore it Monday. Although I like the pink and grey together, it's not a great shape. Maybe should have added a belt or tucked the top into the skirt. Had no time to do anything when I rushed out the door in the morning. Will know the next time.

Very busy at work with lots of meetings and trying to get all of my tasks for the week finished before I go off to Melbourne. Wanted to be comfortable so a nice bright dress seemed like a good choice to wear. Thought I'd be really colourful and pair the pink dress with my purple Balenciaga too. I liked the way it turned out, usually I stay away from wearing other colours with this dress but I like the pink and purple, what do you think?

1 day left before Melbourne - if you have any ideas for things for me to do or see while I'm there this week, please let me know :)

There was a bit of a stir at lunch time today - we were all kept inside the office as there was a gunman in Queen street in the Brisbane CBD. It was pretty scary at first, but the police handled it so well and kept everybody safe. We spent most of our lunch huddled round a few screens watching the news streams trying to find out more information. Very relived to see it end safely.

I spent a little bit of time this weekend trying to figure out how to organise my wardrobe better. One of the things I noticed is that I have an entire clothes rack of dresses that only get worn in warmer weather. With the rainy cool day on Sunday I took the chance to try wear my maxi dress. I really liked it with the scarf and boots, what do you think?

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.

The shoes, dress and bag don't all really go together but I love this bag so much I keep wearing it with everything :)

After a rainy morning, my friend and I went to Westfield to finish up our Christmas shopping. I made the mistake of wearing jeans as it brightened up and heated up a lot in the afternoon. Was lovely in the aircon of the shopping centre though! Pleased to report that all my Christmas shopping is now done, just the cards to finish and to wrap everything now.

Wasn't too sure about this outfit - the fit of the top is not perfect, this is definitely its last wear. Probably should have worn different shoes too, although the thongs were so comfortable for all of the walking around we did. What do you think?

The sunnies were last worn here, top here, jeans here, and bag here. This is the first time I've worn these thongs on the blog.

It was so sunny today it was difficult to get photos without DH's shadow sneaking in gain, hehe! Pink accessories again today too, I thought they worked well with the cute pleats and polka dots on the top. :)

Bag: Balenciaga RH city in 2008 Sapphire 

Close up of accessories and bag:

This tee was probably not a good choice today. The back is completely see through so I had to wear a singlet underneath to cover up for the office, and it was a little warm with the extra layer. Maybe on cooler days, or paired with a skirt.

Today I bought some more items from the Cotton On online sale, and broke my Buy Nothing New month pledge to not buy anything new in October. A few ladies at work were putting an order in online together to get free shipping, and I had another look and as most things were $5, bought a few things. Shopping after only 5 days!!! Need to do better and not buy any more this month.


The sunnies were last worn here, jeans here, shoes here and bag here. This is the first time I've worn the top as it's a new purchase.
