Was very windy trying to take photos - poor Cooper got hit in the face by my skirt a few times! Was rather funny though. Just a nice practical outfit for Friday at work, as some people still had to move desks I made sure to wear a long skirt so I could help move and unplug things from under desks as needed. And of course, I wore my MbMJ Fran bag again. It's such a great bag!

The sunnies were last worn here, top here, skirt here, shoes here and bag here.

Crazy hair! It was a bit windy taking photos. I of course wore a cardi over this in the office. Luckily I keep one in my desk just in case, as I forgot mine in the morning and would have been cold in the aircon without it.

Was very excited to wear my new bag today, after it arrived on Tuesday. It's really comfortable and holds a lot. I had planned to wear this printed cami top with my plaid pencil skirt, but changed my mind in the morning and went with a plain grey skirt instead. Might try the pattern mixing another time though.


The sunglasses were last worn here, skirt here and shoes here. This is the first time I've worn the top and bag as they are both new purchases.

A nice simple dress for the office today to try keep cool on a very warm day! Unfortunately it turned out to be a bad choice as our office move planned for tomorrow was moved to today unexpectedly. It's a little difficult to get under desks and deal with tangled cables when wearing a dress. Thankfully one of my colleagues helped unplug everything under the desk and plug it back in at my new desk.

The only time I can think of where a nice printed dress is not office appropriate - moving day!
