Saturday and Sunday: Fright Night Jeans and Tee, Colour Blocked Maxi Dress

Combining two days outfits into one, so a lot of pictures today!

Here's what I wore to go to Fright Night at Movie World theme park on Saturday:
TopWildfox Skeleton grunge long sleeve black tee
PantsVero Moda at Asos Burnt Ochre orange jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagRebecca Minkoff Deep Purple MAC

We had so much fun at Fright Night! For this year, the entire theme park was turned into the zombie apocalypse - there was smoke, zombies and lots of mazes to get lost and scared in. I have some photos on instagram here if you want to see more.

We went because my friend loves scary movies and Halloween and really wanted to go. She wasn't scared once, but I jumped a lot in the mazes when there were people jumping out at you and lots of loud noises! I'm not a scary movie fan  at all, but it was still good as there were a lot of amazing costumes and zombies walking around in the foggy park.

The psycho 3D maze was my favourite though. You put on 3D glasses and walked through a maze as the walls moved and people with masks that glowed in the dark would pop out right next to your face, but it was more fascinating than scary. The highlight was when the 3 macho guys at the front of our line dissolved into hysterics when one of the neon mask people sat at the side of the path and blocked our way, we all walked out laughing!


The tee was last worn here, pants here, shoes here and bag here.


Here's what I wore on Sunday:
NecklaceJuicy Couture bonsai charm on a gold chain, both gifted from my bestie
Bracelets: the usual plus Marc by Marc Jacobs enamel turnlock stripey hinge bracelet in black and white and Oscar's Law bracelet
Dress: Cotton On Colour blocked maxi in black / Algiers blue
ShoesAsos metallic Freestyle leather sandals
Bag: Vintage Chanel chevron evening bag

Sunday was relaxing after the very late night on Saturday. We went to the shops, took Cooper to the groomers and relaxed in the hammock in the back yard for most of the day. And of course, Church Online in the evening.

I really like the hi-lo hemline on this dress, although the photo doesn't show it off too well. It was the perfect lightweight dress for the heat today.

Hope you all had a great weekend - the weather in Brisbane has been fantastic!


The sandals were last worn here and bag here. It's the first time I've worn the dress as it's a new purchase.

This tee was probably not a good choice today. The back is completely see through so I had to wear a singlet underneath to cover up for the office, and it was a little warm with the extra layer. Maybe on cooler days, or paired with a skirt.

Today I bought some more items from the Cotton On online sale, and broke my Buy Nothing New month pledge to not buy anything new in October. A few ladies at work were putting an order in online together to get free shipping, and I had another look and as most things were $5, bought a few things. Shopping after only 5 days!!! Need to do better and not buy any more this month.


The sunnies were last worn here, jeans here, shoes here and bag here. This is the first time I've worn the top as it's a new purchase.
