Pink Singlet, Striped Pleated Maxi, Studded Miu Miu | Black Top, Lace Pencil Skirt, Chloe Marcie Hobo Bag

Here's what I wore to go out with DH on Sunday:


Miu Miu cammeo studded bag and bracelet stack

Sunnies: pink leopard print sunglasses from Paddy's Markets in Sydney
Necklace: Roie Designs pearl and antique gold long necklace
Tank: Jeanswest 'Jenni' basic singlet in festival fuchsia (new purchase)
Skirt: thrifted black and white pleated striped maxi skirt from AWLQ jumble sale
Shoes: gifted black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual
BagMiu Miu cammeo studded clutch bag


Nice simple weekend outfit. I decided on the maxi skirt before I realised just how windy it was, haha. Was so hard to get a good picture where the skirt wasn't blowing around all over the place. We went out to the stores in the morning which was good as it was out of the wind ;)

Linking up with My Style Monday, Style Sessions today.


Last worn: pink leopard print sunnies, striped maxi skirt, Havaianas, Miu Miu studded bag. First time I've worn the singlet as it's a new purchase.




Here's what I wore to work today:

Top: Jeanswest 'Tilda' black shirt (new purchase)
SkirtLiving Doll Wednesday black lace skirt (on sale!)
ShoesMarc by Marc Jacobs patent mouse flats
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe Marcie medium hobo bag in Nut


Today's outfit was inspired by StyleUp. I hadn't heard of it before I came across Jen at Thirties Two Cents talking about it, and I signed up to give it a try. They email you every day with an outfit idea! It's a bit hit and miss so far, for some reason they don't have the Brissy temperatures quite right yet. However, I got this outfit suggestion in my email Sunday night and knew I could recreate something very similar for today. Although I swapped the heels for flats, and went for a lace skirt instead of a printed one, the idea came from the email.


Last worn: lace pencil skirt, MbMJ mouse flats, Chloe Marcie hobo. First time I've worn the top as it's a recent purchase.

Belted Jumper and Dress, Balenciaga Velo | Print Mix, Pink Accessories, Marc By Marc Jacobs Hillier Hobo

Here's what I wore to work on Monday:



TopAsos crochet shell top in cream
DressGlassons black cotton skater dress
Belt: Kmart thin black glitter belt
ShoesNineWest Lovelyou studded flats in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagBalenciaga Coquelicot Velo

Last time I wore this jumper layered over a dress I wasn't too sure about it. When I tried it this time around, I followed the advice left in the comments and belted it. I really liked this look! Kept me warm with the rain and sudden cool weather brought in by the storms.

Bracelets: the usual
BagMarc by Marc Jacobs Classic Q Hillier Hobo in blush pink with silver hardware

I usually pick my outfits out the night before as I have no time in the morning. On Tuesday night, when the storm started to hit our power went out. As it was a little risky trying to find things in my wardrobe by candlelight and not set anything on fire, I just went with a simple printed dress and pink accessories. Added the scarf in the morning for a bit of print mixing interest and to keep me warm as it was still a little chilly.
After a very sleepless night (as Cooper is scared of storms) I skipped doing my hair and makeup and just wore BB cream and left my hair wavy. Luckily, I didn't have any face to face meetings to worry about today, so it was mostly unnoticed.

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!

Wearing more new things from the DFO shopping trip on the weekend! I thought the brown flats and white belt would work well with this printed dress, and I needed a nice simple outfit option for a big meeting this morning. A printed dress is always a good choice for work :)

A nice simple outfit today with a bit of colour for all the running around I had to do at work today. Although I added the statement necklace I kept thinking this outfit was missing something, maybe a nice scarf instead? Actually thought up a replacement outfit last night, but went with this in the morning as it was easier than changing around and risking running out of time to get to work, haha.

This is the 'replacement' outfit I thought up the other night, thought I'd give it a go today :) A nice simple, comfortable dress as I had a lot of meetings to go to. The grey accessories seemed like an easy option with the bright printed dress.

BagSarah Conners python bag in ebony


Bare legs! It was predicted to be really warm on Monday, so decided to go without tights. Warmed up nicely during the day, and I didn't miss them much. So happy for Spring!
This shirt is the other pieces I picked up at the op-shop at the local festival a while ago. Couldn't believe I found a new Ben Sherman shirt in my size! Definitely a lucky find. Tried to dress it down a little and not be too formal by leaving it un-tucked over my skirt, although I think it would look nice tucked in too.


Last worn: printed leather jacket, navy and black pencil skirt, glitter flats, Sarah Conners bag. First time I've worn the shirt as it was a recent purchase.

Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Nikki in Silverstreak


Bare legs again today! This outfit is inspired by a lovely lady I walked past in the street the other day, who if she wasn't wearing this skirt, was wearing one extremely similar. Really liked the look of the plain long sleeve black top with the skirt, and was able to recreate her outfit for myself. Unfortunately, the dreaded knee brace is back as last night I managed to slip and twist my knee. So I wore my comfiest flats too.

BagBalenciaga 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?

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!

Nice colourful red dress to kick off the week. My Monday actually started off okay, despite the rain. Had a meeting first thing, and we were provided with cupcakes! Good way to start a day full of meetings. :)
Also had to give a presentation in the afternoon, so wore heels for a bit of a confidence boost. A few of us in the office are learning, practising, and getting some pointers on presenting. It's terrifying, but helpful too. My first attempt was recorded and it's so awkward to watch, but good to see so many things I can improve. Got a lot of constructive feedback as well. Hopefully over time I'll get over my fear of public speaking!

The cold and rainy weather continued today, so I decided to wear boots with this dress. I'm never too sure if long boots are too casual for the office or not? I've seen a few ladies at work wearing them, and they are very practical in this weather so gave them a go today. For a day without meetings it seemed okay. Tied my scarf a new way a colleague taught me yesterday, sits so nice with the opening of the jacket.

What do you think of the boots and dress combo as office wear?

Nice casual outfit, taking advantage of the warmer day to wear thongs. Went to the airport to farewell my sister this morning, she's away on a long trip. In the afternoon, went to the movies with DH and then had Church Online in the evening. This was really comfortable to wear all day. Surprised to find I haven't worn this jacket in the 22 or so months I've had the blog, it's a really nice piece. Should have worn it more when the weather was just starting to cool down.


Last worn: purple skinny jeans, printed thongs, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC. First time I've worn the top as it was a recent purchase, and first time I've worn the jacket on the blog.

Wore this because I thought the beaded pattern on the knit would be nice with the subtle jacquard of the skirt :) And some red for a bit of colour too! I wasn't sure if the skirt and the relaxed fit of the top would work well together, but they used a very similar silhouette at asos to show the jumper, so I decided to give it a try. Saw a lady on my way to work wearing a similar pleated skirt with a more fitted top and a belt, so I'll give that a go next time! :) I get outfit ideas from a few different places!

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.

We had a very relaxing Good Friday, so wore a really casual outfit. It was nice and warm still, which is just what you want on a long weekend. I wear blue and pink together a lot, so thought I'd be a bit different and wear blue and purple together. I liked it, what do you think?

Hope you are having a lovely Easter break. I couldn't let it go by without sharing this video again, one of my favourite songs. It sums up beautifully why Christians celebrate Good Friday and Easter Sunday.

After being bitten badly by mozzies the past few days I opted for a maxi skirt today to try shield more of me, haha!
This tee is one of my favourite Threadless tees, it may even be one of the first I bought. You can see a close up of the text here. In one of my wardrobe clearouts I gave it and a few other tees to my sister. When she had a wardrobe clearout recently, I got it back! :) We also discovered that I had given her a tee and then ended up buying myself a replacement for it, but I'm sure that will come up another day. Can't remember the reason I gave this one away, but I'm glad I got it back and it has a funny story behind it now.


Last worn: striped maxi skirt, Asos sandals, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC. It's the first time I've worn the tee on the blog.

It was supposed to be warm and sunny in Melbourne today, so a dress seemed like a nice idea to be comfortable for the flight down and for walking around the city. I ended up having to wear my jacket as well as it was a bit chilly, although it warmed up and I could put my scarf away after lunch.

Spent some time today walking around, catching trams, having absolutely delicious cupcakes with amazing company and visiting the usual tourist spots - I will try to put some photos up on my facebook page if you want to see. Had to take this quick one in the hotel's rooftop garden as I didn't have any other head to toe shots.

Took my blog photos a little differently on on Saturday - first time using a proper tripod! Usually my photos are a mix of those taken by DH and those taken on self timer with a gorillapod and a tall object I can put the camera on. Now I have a tripod I can take photos anywhere, so I took these photos while on a long walk with Cooper. I just have to get better at finding a shady spot for photos though!
