Why I wore it:
After my wardrobe detox, I finally had some more space in my wardrobe and I found a box of little-worn Threadless tees. I think a Threadless tee might have been my first online purchase! As a uni student I bought and wore a lot of them. Lately though, they just haven't been worn as often. I last wore one back in 2013! Back then, I commented that I have a lot of them and yet I still hang onto them despite not wearing them. After the detox I was feeling emboldened, and got rid of most of them by listing on ebay. There are some tees though, like this one above, that I just can't bear to part with. Hopefully you will see the ones I kept popping up on the blog a lot more often as I wear them to justify keeping them. No point in having things in my wardrobe if I never wear them!This tee has to be the funniest of the bunch - there's a close-up shot of the text on Instagram. Lots of fond memories of wearing this as it always gets a lot of attention. Just a casual day care pick-up/drop off outfit I wore to work from home. I do wish I'd worn a brighter bag with this though, the grey bag with the monochrome outfit isn't very interesting.
Last worn: grey Threadless tee, black jersey maxi skirt, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff Love bag.
Other ways to wear: graphic tee with a striped maxi skirt, black maxi skirt with an animal print tank, grey handbag with grey tee and printed shorts.

Why I wore it:
I do like style challenges, so I've started participating in another one! I like taking part in them as they are good for helping me wear more of my wardrobe, along with a few other reasons. This was my first outfit for the #FoxPackStyleDare challenge. The theme for the day was 'layers'. Easily achieved with the addition of the scarf, as it was still too warm in Brisbane to consider heavier layers. I went with bright accessories as I wanted to add some colour after not loving the monochrome outfit I wore previously (above).This tee is a wardrobe oldie that I had to defend keeping during my wardrobe detox session, as I'm just not ready to let it go. As much as I love it, it's worn so little as it's white and I am much too clumsy to frequently wear white.
I think this will just always be the top I get covered in something. Even if I'm wearing it on a relatively 'safe' day where it should be easy to avoid spilling something on it - we were just doing some shopping for baby T's upcoming first birthday party. The first wear, I managed to stain it. Eventually got that stain out and then this time around, it got stained again!
Baby T was being a bit grizzly and scared of the stick blender I was using to puree a batch of food I was making for him, so I picked him up so he could see what was going on, get some cuddles and be a little less scared. Of course with one hand round baby and only one hand on the blender....when I turned it on again the food went everywhere, including all over my top. Not the proudest of moments! Spent quite a while cleaning the kitchen after that, and thankfully managed to get the stain out of my top in the end.
