Striped Top, Denim Shorts, Purple MAC | Grey Threadless Tee, Striped Maxi Skirt, Aquamarine Clutch

Here's what I wore on Good Friday:
Bracelets: the usual
Top: Cotton On round neck zebra stripe top
Shorts: Jeanswest denim cuff shorts
Shoes: Big W purple thongs
BagRebecca Minkoff MAC bag in Deep Purple


We had a very relaxing Good Friday, so wore a really casual outfit. It was nice and warm still, which is just what you want on a long weekend. I wear blue and pink together a lot, so thought I'd be a bit different and wear blue and purple together. I liked it, what do you think?

Hope you are having a lovely Easter break. I couldn't let it go by without sharing this video again, one of my favourite songs. It sums up beautifully why Christians celebrate Good Friday and Easter Sunday.

Here's what I wore for a relaxing Saturday today:
Bracelets: the usual plus Marc by Marc Jacobs enamel turnlock stripey hinge bracelet in black and white
Tee: Threadless "I want to be Friends" grey tee (closeup of text)
Skirt: Thrifted black and white pleated striped maxi skirt from AWLQ jumble sale
ShoesAsos 'flame' leather flat sandals with multi straps
BagRebecca Minkoff mini MAC with python embossed leather in Aquamarine


After being bitten badly by mozzies the past few days I opted for a maxi skirt today to try shield more of me, haha!
This tee is one of my favourite Threadless tees, it may even be one of the first I bought. You can see a close up of the text here. In one of my wardrobe clearouts I gave it and a few other tees to my sister. When she had a wardrobe clearout recently, I got it back! :) We also discovered that I had given her a tee and then ended up buying myself a replacement for it, but I'm sure that will come up another day. Can't remember the reason I gave this one away, but I'm glad I got it back and it has a funny story behind it now.


Last worn: striped maxi skirt, Asos sandals, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC. It's the first time I've worn the tee on the blog.

Sheer Top, Burgundy Peplum Skirt, Chloe Marcie Bag | Asos Red Leopard Print Dress, Tan Accessories, Marc By Marc Jacobs Fran

Here's what I wore to work on Wednesday:
Sunnies: gifted Cotton On 'Kirsten sunnie' in yellow
Necklace: House of Harlow gold mini key pendant necklace
Bracelets: the usual plus studded and chain link Oroton leather bracelets from Designer Archives
Top: Jeanswest sheer white oversized blouse (with white Supre singlet underneath)
Skirt: Cotton On Berney skirt in zinfandel
Shoes: Wittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
BagChloe Marcie medium hobo bag in Nut


Tried this outfit together the night before and quite liked it - but really felt uncomfortable in it when I wore it, it just didn't seem to sit right. Won't pair these two pieces together again, I think the oversized top and the peplum were too much together. What do you think?


Last worn: yellow sunnies, sheer toppeplum skirt, studded sandals, Chloe Marcie hobo.

Here's what I wore to work today:
Sunnies: gifted Cotton On 'Kirsten sunnie' in yellow
Bracelets: the usual plus gifted Ferragamo double wrap bracelet
Dress: Asos red leopard print dress with dipped hem
Belt: gifted Cotton On tan waist belt
Shoes: Wittner 'Columbia' cross strap sandals in tan
BagMarc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown from Reebonz

Thought about wearing my oak Mulberry Baywsater with this but thought it added up to a bit too much tan, so swapped it out for my Fran bag instead. This dress has been sitting in my wardrobe for almost a year unworn as I keep thinking there will be a better event to wear it to. So I decided just to wear it today to work, as it is one of my favourites that hardly gets worn.

Looking forward to having a relaxing 4 day weekend!
