French Connection Print Dress, Scarf, Heels, Alexander Wang Rocco | Layered Top, Pencil Skirt, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran Bag

Here's what I wore to work on Wednesday:

Jacket: Barkins beige trench coat 
Scarf: Marc by Marc Jacobs Island pine-print scarf
Necklace: gifted freshwater pearl necklace
Dress: French Connection 'Fast Rhonda' dress in black/caramel
Shoes: Wittner 'Bloomy' black heels
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Alexander Wang Rocco with gold hardware in dark argon


Three days in a row I've gone for a printed French Connection dress now, sorry! Had to think of something easy yet professional to wear, and rather than fussing with separates I went for the lazy printed dress option. We were filming an internal video at work and I had a part to play in it so wanted to look as professional as possible. I'm be curious to see what the final video looks like - got to see a bit after I'd done my clip and it looked okay. Will be good to see everyone's parts together.


Last worn: beige trench, Marc by Marc Jacobs island pine scarf, French Connection print dress, ankle-strap heels, Alexander Wang Rocco bag.

I was wearing a trench over this but it was impossible to take a photo showing the fake "layering" with the top so I braved a photo without the outerwear this morning. Have been eyeing up this top in my wardrobe for a while wanting to wear it, today was finally the day. It was a little awkward tucked in though, the skirt didn't hide the buttons well, haha. Must wear a stiffer skirt next time!

Maxi Skirt, Pistol Boots, RM MAC | Skull Scarf, Striped Tee, Jeans, Converse, Balenciaga City

Here's what I wore on Saturday:

Top: thrifted 3/4 length sleeve knit jumper from AWLQ jumble sale
Skirt: Shareen thrifted brown maxi skirt
Shoes: Acne pistol boots in "skin"
Bracelets: the usual plus studded and chain link Oroton leather bracelets
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAC bag in deep purple


Wanted something a little different from jeans and a tee today, so decided to wear my maxi skirt with boots. I really liked the colour of the jumper and skirt together, but walking around in the heat of the day I realised I probably could have just worn a tee, it wasn't that cold. Shame Cooper was all shy in front of the camera, he kept hiding behind me, haha. Nice day, relaxed and spent some time with mum.

Linking up with Sunday Style, Loving lately, My Style Monday today.

Today we went to a local festival for a bit of a walk around. It was really good, nice to get out and enjoy the sun. I ended up taking my scarf off for a bit before the rain blew in as it was really humid. The local church had an op-shop so I went in for a brief look, and walked out with some nice new tops. Don't often score at thrift stores, so I was pleased I found two items! :) Especially pleased at the prices, $6 for a brand new Ben Sherman shirt!

Worked at Church Online in the evening. This is the final week we will be showing movies, so if you want to watch a free movie with us, click on through :) This weeks movie is a good one if you like animated movies. I didn't get to see this one in the cinemas, so happy I get to watch it online!

Leather Jacket, Black Tee, Pleated Skirt, Balenciaga Part Time | Stripes, Skulls and Polka Dots, Marc By Marc Jacobs Hillier Hobo Bag

Here's what I wore to work on Tuesday:

Jacket: Asos Black by Markus Lupfer printed leather jacket
Necklace: sterling silver monogram necklace C/O MyNameNecklace.com.au
Top: Glassons plain black long sleeve top
Skirt: French Connection green and black printed skirt
Shoes: NineWest Lovelyou studded flats in black
Bracelets: the usual plus Indigo Rose Design labradorite bracelet
Bag: Balenciaga part time in black 2010 with GSH


It's been almost a year since I last wore this skirt, which is interesting. I've had it a few years, and it used to be one of my heavy rotation work skirts. I've moved more towards pencil skirts now which is why I think it isn't worn as much. Although it's beautiful and gets compliments when I wear it, it's neglected in my wardrobe. Noticed it during my last wardrobe clearout and moved it to the front so it was more visible, hoping I'd pick it up more often. Hasn't really worked if it's been so long since the last wearing!

Should make more of an effort to wear it. Although maybe not like this again - with the printed skirt and jacket and studded shoes it was maybe a bit much. What do you think?


Last worn: Markus Lupfer jacket, Glassons black long sleeve tee, pleated print skirt, studded flats, Balenciaga part time bag.

Wore this jacket,skirt and shoes together the last time I wore the skirt, but it was such a lovely combination I enjoyed wearing it again. Was inspired to wear my MbMJ Hillier hobo bag after I spotted a lady in the post office wearing a brown one yesterday. And of course the blush pink is perfect with the shoes and skirt. :)

The scarf was a late edition as it was so cold this morning I couldn't bear going without it! Left my hair wavy and natural as I knew any attempts to straighten it would be invalidated by the rain, haha!

No outfit pics for Monday! It was a public holiday and really rainy, so we decided to laze around, watch movies and stay in our PJs all day cuddling Cooper. It was wonderful. :)

Lots of pink for Tuesday. Picked these pink and black flats to wear again with my polka dot pencil skirt. As a friend noticed and commented, they match so well!

Last Friday I went shopping in the French Connection sale as I had my eye on a lovely peplum top. Unfortunately, they were all sold out in my size, but this beautiful dress I saw while browsing was the perfect fit :) I love the little pockets it has, which I'm trying my best to show in the photo. There's a reason I'm not a graceful model, haha.

Wore this to work, and a surprise lunchtime outing to see Ricky Martin in Queen Street mall. My friend had heard that he was going to be there, and judging by the crowd, everyone else had heard too! Nice little distraction for a Wednesday.


Last worn: leather jacket, wittner shoes, Balenciaga work. First time I've worn the dress as it is a new purchase.

Please excuse my hair! I washed and plaited it the night before, intending to wake up with subtle waves. Instead, woke up with wet hair and no time to dry it before I went to work. It did dry into some nice waves later in the morning, but it is still really damp and dull in the photos!
Wearing my last new piece from my Glassons order back in mid-May. Glassons have a sale on now too, if you are looking for some affordable basics. Thought I would try something a little different today, and belted the top over the skirt instead of tucking it into the skirt. I think it worked well, and the belt was a nice pop of colour.

Had to work a bit of maroon into my outfit today with the State of Origin match tonight! This scarf was perfect. Although I don't watch footy, lots of people at work are quite into the game and you see people walking around wearing the shirts or maroon items. While it is unofficial casual day as everyone is wearing team shirts, I had to present at a meeting so wore a printed dress.


Last worn: warehouse blazer, French Connection dress, Marc Jacobs flats, Balenciaga part time. First time I've worn the scarf on the blog, it was a lovely gift from a friend.

Was quite warm in the sun after church, so I was glad I'd chosen the dress!

Dressing slightly more on the business side of business casual this week. I won't bore you with details, but this week I'm getting to work in a new office with a different team of people, some from out of state so I'm being a little more formal with what I wear. The best bit is that I'm getting to work closely with one of my friends from the Sydney office. Felt that a LBD was a good way to kick off the week on the right foot, and heels because I was incredibly nervous and always feel a little more confident in heels.

Last worn: dress, heels, LV Neverfull bag.
