Not too pleased with how this outfit turned out today. I usually plan my outfits in the evening, and last night picked the tee and skirt as a good combination. When I put it on this morning I thought it needed a belt, so changed my bag and shoes to match the belt I picked. A little too much brown for my liking though. What do you think?


Lots of sales going on today! 40% off at Nordstrom and up to 70% off at shopbop.

It was Melbourne Cup day here in Australia today. Victorians get the day off for it, and the rest of the country gets a long lunch or a break in the afternoon to watch the Melbourne Cup horse race. There's usually a lot of great race day fashion going on as well, and at work we had competitions for best dressed and best hat.

I thought this dress was a good choice, office appropriate but not too boring for race day with everyone else dressed in their best. Printed dresses are nice like that. Unfortunately, I didn't pick the winning horses in the office sweeps. The masterpiece we made as a group did win the best hat award for the gentleman brave enough to wear our creation though!

Hope you had a lovely cup day and had better luck on the horses! :)
