Happy New Year! Outfits for NYE 2013, First Day of 2014

Here's what I wore on New Year's Eve:
Away From blue australian summer NYE outfit glitter foil tank lace skirt

rebecca minkoff metallic silver mini MAC bag
Sunglasses: gifted Rayban new Wayfarers
Necklace: Chanel necklace
TopFrench Connection feather foil singlet
Skirt: Cotton On metallic lace tulip skirt in frosted almond/silver
ShoesNine West silver strap sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus Disney Couture Winnie the Pooh bangle on other arm
BagRebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC


Had to wear something sparkly for NYE! Decided to double up on the sparkle a little with the metallic lace skirt and glitter singlet. I think they looked okay together, not really possible to have too much glitter going on for a new year's eve outfit!

DH, Cooper and I had a quiet new years eve, relaxing and reflecting on 2013 and what's to come in 2014.
Blog wise, I've had this blog 2 years now! This year I will continue trying to wear more of my wardrobe, reducing what I already own and slowing down my purchasing.
It's been great getting suggestions and opinions from people who read along, thank you to everyone who leaves a comment or sends me an email. Your honest opinions and feedback are always welcome.
Thank you for following along, or just dropping by, and seeing what I've been wearing each day.

Here's hoping we all have a wonderful 2014!


Last worn: Rayban wayfarers, glitter tank, metallic lace skirt, silver sandals, Rebecca Minkoff silver mini MAC.

Tank: gifted Jeanswest 'Macy' ombre tank in 'very berry'

ShoesBalenciaga studded sandals in sorbet RGGH
Bracelets: the usual plus gifted gold bangle set and Disney Couture Winnie the Pooh bangle on other arm
BagBalenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet


Casual outfit for a relaxing start to 2014! :) The top has beautiful beading detail on it so didn't think a necklace was necessary, just kept it simple. Probably wouldn't pair the skirt and top together again though, the top's lined which made it a little tricky to tuck in perfectly. Loved the colours together, but will try a different combination next time.


Last worn: stripe maxi skirt, Balenciaga studded sandals, Balenciaga sorbet city bag. First time I've worn the tank as it was a birthday gift.

Sunday was such a hot day, the start of our dreaded summer heatwave! Wanted to wear as little as possible, and spend as much time in air con as possible, haha. A nice light outfit. Thought I'd break up the blue a little with the addition of the yellow sunglasses.

We had big storms in the afternoon but nothing too bad out our way, we kept our power which was good as I was working at Church Online. Great message this week about miracles, loved it!


Last worn: yellow sunglasses, striped top, Roxy skirt, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff aquamarine mini MAC.

Today we had an afternoon tea to celebrate a family birthday, so I took the chance to get dressed up a little. This dress was a hand-me down from my sister in law, who got it from a friend, who I think may have got it from another friend? Was brand new with tags on, but hadn't fit anyone it was passed to. Although it is a little tight around the waist on me, it's such a lovely dress I just couldn't say no :)


Last worn: Rayban sunnies, studded sandals, Balenciaga mangue envelope clutch. First time I've worn the dress.
