Saturday was such a strange day weather wise! Really windy and blustery, but still warm when the wind died down. It was the perfect jeans and tee weather, but I had to go to the physio so couldn't have my knee covered. I added a denim jacket to this, as my friend wearing hers yesterday prompted me to dig mine out, but with the weird weather I kept taking it off and on all day.

First time this jacket has been featured on the blog. I had a look for the last time I remember wearing it, and found this picture from 3 years ago where I was covered in parrots, haha! When I first bought it in a City Beach sale around 10 years ago I was so happy at the bargain I got, and wore it over and over. Although it's rarely worn now, I keep it around as I think everyone can use a denim jacket sometimes.

Linking up with Plane Pretty, My Style Monday today.


Last worn: colour block dress, owl necklacestudded sandals, Rebecca Minkoff silver mini MAC. the jacket is old, but it's the first time I've worn it on the blog.

I wore this casual outfit to go shopping, relax in the back yard and work at Church Online in the evening. Got this tank at DFO last weekend, it was a lonely little tank sitting in among some other sale items and it happened to be my size. As there was both girls and guys stuff side by side, I'm not entirely sure if this is a guy's top? But it is slouchy and comfortable so I bought it anyway! :)

The necklace and bracelets are from my friend's jewellery line. If you have Pinterest, she has a board setup that you can view or pin here.


Last worn: skinny jeans, Havaianas thongs, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC. First time I've worn the top as it's a new purchase.

Kept everything fairly neutral after my bright monochrome orange outfit on Wednesday! Wearing the last of my new purchases from my DFO Spring accessories shopping trip on the weekend, this cute belt. A couple of times I've worn this skirt people have suggested I add a belt, so when I saw this belt in Forever New my skirt popped to mind right away! Really liked the little bit of colour the belt added, brought out some of the blue in the skirt print. 


Last worn: brown tee, vintage skirt, cut-out detail flats, Chloe Paddington bag.





Here's what I wore to work for casual Friday today:

BagLouis Vuitton MM damier azur neverfull


I purchased this top a year ago and this is only the third time it's been worn, that's a really bad rate for such a pretty top! I definitely need to wear it more often. The top and blazer have been paired together before and I wasn't too happy with the outfit, but this time around I think it looks better with the top partially tucked in. What do you think?

Linking up with Friday's Fancies, Casual Friday, Friday's Fab Favourites, Friday's Five today.
