Not ashamed to say that the aircon was on when we were at home on Sunday - it was so warm! Wanted to wear as little as possible as it was so hot in the sun when we were out. This singlet has to be my favourite summer singlet - it's light and airy and I really like the bright colours too.

A nice casual jeans and tee outfit today as I was working from home. Very similar to yesterday's outfit! I find denim shorts perfect for dealing with the summer heat so expect to see them continue to appear on the blog for a while longer :) Cooper has his 'summer uniform' too, he's been cut short for a while so he doesn't overheat.


The tee was last worn here, shorts here, thongs above, and bag here.

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.
