(Don't worry! DH took these photos while he and Cooper walked with me to catch the bus into the city. Cooper stayed at home with DH away from the fireworks and noise).

Dress: Three Dots stripe maxi dress (new purchase)
Shoes: Wittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus Chloe Paddington crystal charm bracelet
BagMiu Miu cammeo studded clutch bag


This dress is one of my latest shopbop purchases. I took it to the tailor to get it shortened a little for me before I could wear it, as it was really long on me. A maxi dress was the perfect thing to wear to spend time with my friends on Saturday and watch the Brisbane Riverfire fireworks. Although I took my denim jacket in case I got cold, I didn't need it after the rain cleared up for a hot and sunny afternoon. We had a great view of the Story Bridge, yummy food and it was nice catching up with everyone.

After a little bit of a late night on Saturday, a nice relaxing Sunday :) Wearing one of my newest tees that I won by entering a church competition. Was the perfect thing to wear to Church Online this evening, haha! It's a little large on me but I thought it looked nice partially tucked into my jeans. What do you think?

BagMulberry Bayswater in Oak NVT leather


Big bag today to carry some notebooks back to work, and also as I had a meeting on the other side of the city I had to take stuff along too. It was a nice sunny day, so a simple printed dress. Haven't worn this dress as much as I expected too after I bought it, so today was it's last wear. It's feels a little more casual than some of my other work dresses, so I usually pass by it in my wardrobe in favour of another. After reading Blue Paper Laterns Closet Inventory post, I've been thinking about how many clothes I own and how rarely I wear most of them. I need to be more ruthless with removing things that aren't perfect. Maybe once I've had a few more wardrobe clearouts I'll be brave enough to try and count what I have!


Last worn: French Connection print dress, patent MbMJ flats, Mulberry Bayswater bag.
