Yes, another long sleeve top, pretty skirt combo. I've been very uninspired this week, sorry! Just so cold and wet in the mornings again, not very nice after our warm weekend. Have to admit, it's been nice to have an easy ready-to-go outfit to fall back on. Although I may have been wearing my skull scarves a bit much - a colleague noticed this one and was amazed I could have a cheerful pink scarf covered in skulls. He's quite amused I have so many colours and variations, haha.


Last worn: printed leather jacket, Alexander McQueen floral skull scarf, grey long sleeve tee, jacquard skirt, patent flats, Balenciaga magenta work.

Jeans for casual Friday! I bought this grey jumper earlier in the year in Melbourne, thinking it would be really practical and I'd wear it often. This is only the second wearing and I'm surprised I haven't worn it as much as I thought I would. This scarf on the other hand, I thought may be a nice neutral I'd reach for now and then, and I'm wearing it a LOT at the moment as it seems to go with everything. Funny how that happens. Maybe points to me needing to understand my wardrobe better before I make purchases?

Do you have things you wear more or less than you thought you would when you bought them? Or tips for how to identify things you won't wear often when shopping?


Last worn: blue leather jacket, Alexander McQueen scarf, Topshop knit, Sass and Bide jeans, nude heels, Marco Tagliaferri bag.

Here's what I wore to work on Tuesday:

Jacket: Asos Black by Markus Lupfer printed leather jacket
Necklace: sterling silver monogram necklace C/O MyNameNecklace.com.au
Top: Glassons plain black long sleeve top
Skirt: French Connection green and black printed skirt
Shoes: NineWest Lovelyou studded flats in black
Bracelets: the usual plus Indigo Rose Design labradorite bracelet
Bag: Balenciaga part time in black 2010 with GSH


It's been almost a year since I last wore this skirt, which is interesting. I've had it a few years, and it used to be one of my heavy rotation work skirts. I've moved more towards pencil skirts now which is why I think it isn't worn as much. Although it's beautiful and gets compliments when I wear it, it's neglected in my wardrobe. Noticed it during my last wardrobe clearout and moved it to the front so it was more visible, hoping I'd pick it up more often. Hasn't really worked if it's been so long since the last wearing!

Should make more of an effort to wear it. Although maybe not like this again - with the printed skirt and jacket and studded shoes it was maybe a bit much. What do you think?


Last worn: Markus Lupfer jacket, Glassons black long sleeve tee, pleated print skirt, studded flats, Balenciaga part time bag.

Wore this jacket,skirt and shoes together the last time I wore the skirt, but it was such a lovely combination I enjoyed wearing it again. Was inspired to wear my MbMJ Hillier hobo bag after I spotted a lady in the post office wearing a brown one yesterday. And of course the blush pink is perfect with the shoes and skirt. :)

The scarf was a late edition as it was so cold this morning I couldn't bear going without it! Left my hair wavy and natural as I knew any attempts to straighten it would be invalidated by the rain, haha!
