BagBalenciaga Coquelicot Velo


Amazed that it's been over a year since I last wore this shirt! It's a great piece for work, it's just that I tend not to wear shirts often (I have about 10 button up shirts that have never been worn in years!) as I hate ironing them. Moving to a casual work environment where I don't need to wear shirts every day plays a big part in it too.

Tried to make a bit of a peplum effect by leaving the shirt un-tucked and belting it, but I really wasn't sure if it worked or not. Kept changing my mind throughout the day, haha.


Last worn: Red shirt, black glitter belt, polka dot pencil skirt, patent mouse flats, Balenciaga Velo bag.

Had a presentation to do today, so I went for comfortable favourites to wear. And luckily, the dress and bag pair together well! I've worn them together before. Usually I'd go with heels to give myself a bit of a confidence boost, but as it was predicted to storm quite badly I thought flats would be the best for navigating wet pavements!

Nice simple outfit for a Saturday. It was a little cooler in the morning, so I wore this new Gucci scarf I picked up at the Reebonz Brisbane sale on Friday. It's so soft! Bought a Christmas present for my sister, and decided to treat myself to this scarf too :)

This is such a comfy tee, was great for a relaxing Sunday. Did think I should have a break from the jeans and tee outfits of the past few days, but the weather was a little odd in the morning so gave up on my idea of wearing a dress. Did a closet count though, and I actually own 50 dresses!!! WAY too many. Scared to count the rest of the items in my wardrobe, but have to do something to trim it all down.


Last worn: burgundy oversized tee, apricot skinny jeans, gold Asos sandals, Chloe Paddington bag.
