Here's what I wore to work on Tuesday:

SkirtAsos blue textured lace pencil skirt

BagRebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey


Wearing a new purchase and an old favourite today! Took the photos without my trench today to show off the layering better. This jumper is one of the great pieces I picked up at the op-shop at the local festival the other weekend. I think it is actually supposed to be a cropped jumper, but as I'm petite it worked out to be the perfect length for layering! :)

Messy hair and messy scarf today! Although a lady in the office complimented how "put together" I looked, I certainly didn't feel it today. Was lovely of her to say something though. Added the scarf to keep me warm in the office and in meeting rooms, but didn't need it outside during the day and in the early evening. It's starting to warm up nicely now. If only it was as warm early in the mornings too, I'd be more likely to get out of bed and have time to fix my hair before work....haha!

Nice relaxing Sunday. Had Church Online in the evening and spent some time outside with Cooper enjoying the sunshine during the day. Although it's still cold in the morning and evening, it's nice and warm during the day.

Just realised as I was looking up the last time I'd worn this bag that it's been getting a lot of wear lately! Should try use other bags on the weekends and mix it up a bit. It is perfect for weekends and errands though :)

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 
ScarfMarc by Marc Jacobs Island pine-print scarf
Necklacegifted freshwater pearl necklace
DressFrench Connection 'Fast Rhonda' dress in black/caramel
Shoes: Wittner 'Bloomy' black heels
Bracelets: the usual
BagAlexander 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.

BagMarc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown


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!

Bracelets: the usual plus Marc by Marc Jacobs enamel turnlock stripy hinge black and white bangle
BagChloe Marcie medium hobo bag in Nut


Although it's not in the picture as it only arrived in the afternoon, I ended up wearing my new custom bangle from Yondale Design, you can see it on Instagram. It's a beautiful piece! Went a little custom-crazy a while back, and ordered this cuff and a necklace. I'm looking forward to sharing the necklace with you too when it arrives.

Had another presentation practice at work on Monday - so heels again for a bit of a confidence boost. I got to do my presentation twice, once to a small group as we break off to do them, and once to the larger group. It was definitely a lot scarier with more people in the room, but I'm pleased I managed to do it. All of the feedback was really helpful. Now I just need to think of a topic to talk about for a few minutes next time, and practice some more!

Another black and white French Connection dress today! Decided to wear another skull scarf too, why break the pattern? hehe. Had a day full of meetings and a bit of running around the city between buildings, so the boots kept my feet dry and warm as I did so. Wish I had thought to bring an umbrella, but didn't get soaked until I left the office to go home, so that worked out well.

This dress is another Leona Edmiston sale purchase :) I really like the print, and as it's a long sleeved dress it was perfect to keep me warm. So many colours in it, today tried to pull out the green and blues with the Rocco bag. Also a better picture of the new addition to 'the usual' that bracelets I wear - my sister brought me this cute Tiffany bow bracelet back from her travels, she got it in NY. I'm blessed to have such a generous and thoughtful sister! :)

I made yet another matches fashion sale order, haha! I picked up two Marc by Marc Jacobs scarves I'd had on my wishlist for a while, and this scarf was one of them. They are massive and so soft, perfect :)

Wearing the black trench again as it was down into single digit temperatures today. Also had to layer a singlet under the knit as it was so cold! Had considered wearing pants, but didn't feel like wearing the heels required with them. Just wanted to be warm and comfortable, and work appropriate for a big meeting.

BagRebecca Minkoff MAC bag in deep purple



DH and I got a free lovely sunny day at last, so we headed down to the beach with Cooper. We walked out to King Island at low tide. You can see a pic of it I took during high tide on instagram. Although Cooper wasn't allowed on the island (it's a nature reserve) it was a fun walk out there, and he got to have a few paddles along the way. Sand covered little monster had bath time as soon as he got home though, haha.

Just a nice casual comfortable outfit for walking around, and of course I had church online in the evening.


Last worn: blue sunnies, Sass and Bide jeans, converse, RM purple MAC. First time I've worn the tee as it's a recent purchase.

Woah, a lot of Marc By Marc Jacobs today, haha. And another new purchase! I bought a couple of dresses in the Leona Edmiston sale, and I picked them up from my tailor this weekend. They are always too long on me, but when I get them on super sale I don't mind paying a little extra to have them taken up to fit. Nice simple outfit for a Monday. Bit colder than yesterday though, I think a scarf would have been a useful addition.

Got my long-overdue haircut on Saturday and I'm still figuring out how to style it to be honest! The hairdresser always makes it look so easy and pretty in the salon. Wasn't an issue on Sunday as the sea air made it wavy and it didn't need any input on my part, haha.

Planned this outfit the night before, and woke up to a lot of rain. So much rain it knocked our power out a couple of times during the night. I decided to go ahead and wear what I'd planned anyway, although boots probably would have been nicer for walking. Luckily the rain dried up during the day and I managed to get some outside photos, after my poor attempt before I left for work. Left my hair wavy and natural as it was raining anyway :)

I think the scarf worked okay due to all the other brown tones in my outfit, what do you think?

Wore a bit of maroon for the final State of Origin match! Really like this dress and tall boots combination after trying it out before. And of course the maroon blended in nicely with all of the Queensland footy shirts around. Was pretty cool that Queensland won for the 8th year in a row :)

BagRebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey


The truth about this branded polo shirt I was given through my work is that it is two sizes too large. They ordered a batch to hand out to celebrate the success of a large project, and there were not a lot of size options available. This was the smallest, but at the time I didn't see it as an issue as I wasn't expecting to wear it often.

When we were asked to wear it again today, it was a little tricky. I couldn't tuck some of it into jeans or hide it under a hoodie like last time, as they are not the best mid-week office clothes. After comparing the options on facebook, I decided to just wear it with a pencil skirt. It was fun talking to the other ladies in the office and comparing the ways they had worn theirs today - a few of us are smaller than a size 12 so we were in the same situation with shirts too big.

Although my office is business casual and people do wear jeans every day of the week in the office, I do try to keep them just to casual Friday. Not every team or department is as relaxed with their dress codes, and I want to make a good impression. Will see if I change my tune when I have to wear the polo again next week of course!

BagMulberry Bayswater in Oak NVT leather


Simple dress and heels outfit for Monday. A little bit of colour with my scarf, as I really like wearing pink with this dress. Probably should have gone with a different length of coat with this dress though, maybe a more cropped one? Not my favourite outfit.

Decided to wear my Bayswater bag as it's been neglected a bit lately, although when it started raining in the afternoon I regretted my decision, haha. Luckily I managed to keep the bag nice and dry. The Oak NVT bays is terrible for waterspots I've read, always so worried when it rains!

My legs were a little cold yesterday, so decided to wear pants to work today. Like the skirt I wore last week, this is another item of clothing I once had on heavy rotation but now barely wear. Only wore them twice last year! I had to give these up when I injured my knee and had to stick to flats, as they really only work with heels. Should try wearing pants to work more often now my knee has healed. As well as having warmer legs, I like this outfit better than yesterday's. :)

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?
