I feel I need to explain this Monday work outfit! Due to the high temperatures we are experiencing in Queensland we have been encouraged to wear casual outfits to work. It's been mentioned before, but the current area I work in is very much on the casual side of "business casual" so it's not that much different now we are allowed "smart casual" really.

Usually smart casual office wear automatically means denim but it's much too hot for that. Although there was a few brave people wearing jeans in the office today! I thought a light maxi skirt was a nice length for keeping cool and the bright tee made a nice summer outfit. As you can see in the photo my skirt caught the breeze quite a bit :) Think next time I need to wear a more fitted top though - looks a little messy after a long day!


The sunnies were last worn here, skirt here, shoes here and bag here. This is the first time I've worn this top.

Another hot day, so wore one of my summer dresses. Spent some time sitting in the back yard with my friend writing Christmas cards, and saw my family in the evening and worked at Church Online.

I've had this Cotton On dress for years, so it's held up well. I don't wear it often though, this is the first appearance of it on the blog. Scary realising that in January I'll have been blogging for a year and I still have a LOT of clothes that haven't yet been worn. Need to be more proactive in reducing the size of my wardrobe.
