Blue and Brown: Vintage Print Skirt, Chloe Paddington | Casual Friday: Sequin Tank, Jeans, LV Neverfull

Here's what I wore to work on Thursday:

Necklace: Lovisa turquoise and silver long disc necklace
Top: Kmart plain brown tee
Belt: Forever New skinny glitter belt (new purchase)
Skirt: Vintage pencil skirt from The Thrifty Kitten
Shoes: New Look brown cut-out detail shoe
Bracelets: the usual plus blue gifted Eiffel Tower bracelet
Bag: Chloe Paddington in 2007 Brun


Kept everything fairly neutral after my bright monochrome orange outfit on Wednesday! Wearing the last of my new purchases from my DFO Spring accessories shopping trip on the weekend, this cute belt. A couple of times I've worn this skirt people have suggested I add a belt, so when I saw this belt in Forever New my skirt popped to mind right away! Really liked the little bit of colour the belt added, brought out some of the blue in the skirt print. 


Last worn: brown tee, vintage skirt, cut-out detail flats, Chloe Paddington bag.

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

Jacket: Zara frayed basket weave cardigan in blue
Top: Jeanswest 'Darcy' embellished top in Winter coral
Jeans: Jeanswest Super Skinny Jeans in Mid Indigo
Shoes: Rubi primo ballet flats in silver
Bracelets: the usual plus Hermes Kelly Double tour bracelet in rubis
Bag: Louis Vuitton MM damier azur neverfull


I purchased this top a year ago and this is only the third time it's been worn, that's a really bad rate for such a pretty top! I definitely need to wear it more often. The top and blazer have been paired together before and I wasn't too happy with the outfit, but this time around I think it looks better with the top partially tucked in. What do you think?

A relaxing Sunday after a busy Saturday with the girls! The warm weather made it the perfect time to wear some of my newly purchased spring accessories together. Although we weren't going out anywhere fancy, I was really looking for a chance to wear this beautiful beaded clutch. I thought it added a nice bit of interest to the outfit.


Last worn: vintage pleated skirt. The tank I've had a while but this is the first time it's been worn un-layered on the blog. Everything else was a new purchase from the weekend shopping trip!

Floral Print Dress, Chloe Marcie Bag | Grey Tee, Jeans, Leather Jacket, Alexander Wang Rocco

Here's what I wore to work on Thursday:

Jacket: Asos Black by Markus Lupfer printed leather jacket
Necklace: custom Cooper charm by Silhoupette
Dress: Leona Edmiston Blanche dress
Belt: came with dress
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs patent leather logo plaque flats
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium hobo bag in Nut


Wore this leather jacket as it's a little cold in the mornings to be going without a jacket on top, but I'm not too sure it looked right with the print of the dress. It did keep me warm though :) I think maybe I could have gone for a different bag and shoes too. What do you think? I just think something looks a little off about the outfit in the photos.


Last worn: printed leather jacket, Leona Edmiston dress, black patent flats, Chloe Marcie hobo bag.

Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs patent mouse flats in black and white

Bag: Alexander Wang Rocco with gold hardware in dark argon


Jeans for casual Friday! :) Couldn't decide what shoes to wear with this, so went with my trusty little mouse flats in the end. I thought my blue glitter ones looked a bit odd with the gold hardware of the bag, but I probably could have just worn them anyway. My feet were certainly happy with the mice though, the comfiest ballet flats I own!

Ombre Knit, Burgundy Pants, Balenciaga Sang Clutch | Grey Tee, Red Skinnies, Chloe Bag

Here's what I wore to go shopping on Saturday:

Top: Jeanswest 'Serena' ombre knit in 'pavement' (New purchase)
Jeans: Jeanswest 'Fiona' skinny leg pant in shiraz
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs studded mouse flats in grey
Bracelets: the usual plus gifted Balenciaga classic pearly grey double tour bracelet
Bag: Balenciaga flat clutch GSH in 2010 Sang


This jumper is one of my purchases from the Jeanswest 40% off sale back in May. It was a sunny but windy day so this was the perfect outfit.  Thought the burgundy of the pants and the red of the clutch would go well together.

I had been considering buying this knit and then when I caught up with my sister she showed me she had bought it and told me how much she liked it. So I had to get my own when the sale came around, of course. My sister and I have very similar tastes!

I'm not always quick to post about new sales, so I made a new page to contain all of the sales and coupon codes I know about, feel free to bookmark it! I post on twitter when I update it. Most recently it's had the Matches Fashion 50% off sale added. Check it out, they have some lovely Alexander McQueen scarves reduced.


Last worn: burgundy pants, studded mouse flats, Balenciaga flat clutch. First time I've worn the jumper on the blog as it was a recent purchase.

Bag: Chloe paddington cross body clutch


Very similar outfit to yesterday's, really drawn to grey and red this weekend!

This is another one of my Church Online team tees, I've worn one previously. It's a little big on me, but makes it even more comfortable to wear! Every year they come up with a new design, I'm pleased to see my collection build with each year I spend on the team.

Apart from working in the evening, didn't do much today. Enjoyed the slightly warmer weather in the afternoon and made sure to spend lots of time with Cooper. He's healing really well, thank you for all your kind comments on my previous post.


Last worn: red skinny jeans, thongs, Chloe bag. First time I've worn the tee on the blog.

Have been wanting to try pink with this jacket since I bought it. While I was contemplating the purchase, I kept thinking if it would really work in my wardrobe. And of course I could see it with greys and blacks and cream...and then I remembered this pink top. Just had to give this a try, as I love pink and blue together. And my favourite jeans of course ;) Glad it's not too cold so I can wear a tank in the office and just a jacket over the top outdoors.


Last worn: cobalt leather jacket, pink singlet, skinny jeans, Wittner heels, LV mono speedy.

I spent a little bit of time this weekend trying to figure out how to organise my wardrobe better.

I really liked it with the scarf and boots, what do you think?

So 12/12/12 today! Hope you did something memorable :)

When I was figuring out what to wear last night, I was really aware that this is another jeans and tee outfit. I had grand plans of making up all kinds of lovely casual outfits for work that didn't involve denim, but that hasn't really happened. I've gone back to my comfort zone most days. I think I need to try harder to come up with different outfits and take advantage of the range of options "casual dress" has, rather than wearing jeans every day.

Probably shouldn't have worn this necklace with the belted dress, it's a bit long and the belt already adds enough interest. Didn't check in the mirror before I left the house this morning, oops! Sometimes I'm in such a rush I forget little things like that. The belt and necklace look good with the dress, maybe just separately. What do you think?

Top: thrifted no label failed tie-dye tunic (new purchase)
Shorts: grey Cotton On shorts
Shoes: brown Roxy thongs
Bag: Chloe paddington cross body clutch

Close up of accessories and a little bit more fake blood:

Went to the Brisbane Zombie Walk today with my friend and DH. Although I'm not really into Halloween or costumes, it was very fun.

I spotted this tunic top when thrifting the other week, we named it the "failed tie-dye top". We knew it would be perfect for the zombie walk when I tried it on and the SA said it looked like a meat dress and was making her ill! Added some fake blood courtesy of the festival "splatterhouse marquee" and some shorts underneath to stop it being indecent. Was a great light costume to wear on such a hot day and I was really pleased with how it turned out.

There are other zombie walks around Australia this month, worth checking out to see if there is one near you as it's a very strange but fun way to spend the day! You can see more pictures I took on instagram here.

DH also managed to take a video near the start of the walk - you can see my friend and I in it too.

The sunnies were last worn here, and bag here. It's the first time I've worn the top, and the first time I've worn the shorts and thongs on the blog.
