DFO Brisbane: Shopping for Father's Day

Father's Day is getting closer (next Sunday!)  so today I headed out to Brisbane DFO in the hunt for the perfect Father's Day gift for my Dad and Father-in-law. I usually find guys are so tricky to buy for.

Thankfully, Brisbane DFO has a lot of choices available for men's fashion, and some special offers just for Father's Day. We had a nice day browsing some of the stores and looking for great gifts for guys. And of course we couldn't resist buying a few things for ourselves! At up to 70% off, it's hard not to buy!

Necklacecustom Cooper charm by Silhoupette
TopSpectrum basic v-neck tee in washed lilac

Gave up trying to handle the cold and just wore pants to work Thursday, haha! Didn't realise how Asos-centric this outfit was until I wrote the post... Picked this top to wear as it was a little more formal to balance out the comfy pants for the office, and because I haven't worn it in a while.

Added the pink scarf to keep me warm and to add a bit of colour to what I was wearing. Have been a little repetitive lately with pulling this jacket, but it's right at the front of my wardrobe after I put it away so it's the first one I reach for!

A different jacket at last! Thought I would try red with this blue jacket for a change :) Simple casual Friday outfit, again more for warmth than anything. Was too cold to even realise how bad the lighting was this morning, not one of my better pictures with a super sunshine-y neck. I loved the outfit though.
Kept my scarf on in the office as the red felt nice and cheerful against the grey. Also had some flowers on my desk as it was Daffodil Day today. Was lovely smelling them through the day.



Last worn: blue leather jacket, red skull scarf, Topshop grey knit, skinny jeans, red suede flats, Balenciaga Velo.
