Necklace: custom Cooper charm by Silhoupette (New purchase)

Shoes: Rubi primo ballet flats in silver

BagBalenciaga giant hardware Day bag in 2009 tempete


Wearing my new custom necklace from Silhoupette today - it's a little silhouette of Cooper! Absolutely adore it, when it arrived yesterday I was showing everyone in the office who came up to my desk, haha. I ordered it a while ago, and as it was completely custom made it took a few weeks to arrive, but it's definitely worth the wait.

Also, I'm wearing jeans and a tee today as it's Brisbane show day - so everyone in Brisbane has a public holiday for the Ekka. Last year we went to the Ekka, but this year we stayed home. Didn't get up to much as my knee is still playing up a little, trying to do light exercise to build it up again.

Linking up with Three-fer Thursday, Friday's Fancies, Friday's Fab Favourites, Friday's FiveCasual Friday and Fashion and Faith today.

Last worn: blue sunniessnake print tee, skinny jeans, silver flats, Balenciaga day bag.

Accidentally slept in this morning, so got ready in half the time and grabbed a very quick couple of photos before running to work. Didn't notice the hair over my face until afterwards...but at least I made it to work on time :)

I'm a blogger for Brisbane DFO! I'm so excited! I often shop the local factory outlets at Brisbane airport, to buy new clothes or presents or things I need for trips. It's somewhere I make sure to take my friends and relatives to when they visit, as there is always something to buy and lots of bargains with things up to 70% off!

The majority of my wardrobe consists of sale purchases, and a lot of them come from DFO. To provide an example, the snakeprint tee I wore Wednesday, and the top and pencil skirt I'm wearing today are all DFO purchases!

Very excited about this new role and looking forward to sharing more about DFO with you in the coming weeks. Thank you to all of my new and long term readers for supporting me and making this possible :) As always, if you have any questions or comments or suggestions, the comment box is there.

Leather Jacket, Fitted Shirt, Pencil Skirt, Sarah Conners Bag | Black Tee, Printed Skirt, RM Nikki

Here's what I wore to work on Monday:

Necklace: gift from DH
Top: thrifted Ben Sherman ladies shirt (New purchase)
SkirtWarehouse blue jacquard pencil skirt
ShoesNine West fascinate ballet flats in silver glitter
Bracelets: the usual
BagSarah Conners python bag in ebony


Bare legs! It was predicted to be really warm on Monday, so decided to go without tights. Warmed up nicely during the day, and I didn't miss them much. So happy for Spring!
This shirt is the other pieces I picked up at the op-shop at the local festival a while ago. Couldn't believe I found a new Ben Sherman shirt in my size! Definitely a lucky find. Tried to dress it down a little and not be too formal by leaving it un-tucked over my skirt, although I think it would look nice tucked in too.


Last worn: printed leather jacket, navy and black pencil skirt, glitter flats, Sarah Conners bag. First time I've worn the shirt as it was a recent purchase.





Here's what I wore to work today:

away from blue printed pleated skirt chain detail cardi black tee RM nikki

away from the blue rebecca minkoff silverstreak nikki hobo bag

JacketAsos black chain trim detail cardi 
Necklace: House of Harlow gold mini key pendant necklace
Tee Glassons plain black long sleeve top
Skirt: Garfunkle Australia pleated print skirt
ShoesMarc by Marc Jacobs patent mouse flats in black and white
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Nikki in Silverstreak


Bare legs again today! This outfit is inspired by a lovely lady I walked past in the street the other day, who if she wasn't wearing this skirt, was wearing one extremely similar. Really liked the look of the plain long sleeve black top with the skirt, and was able to recreate her outfit for myself. Unfortunately, the dreaded knee brace is back as last night I managed to slip and twist my knee. So I wore my comfiest flats too.
