Orange and black today as it was Halloween, haha! I wore orange last year too. We don't really dress up here in Australia, although I did see someone wearing devil horn headband on the bus and my bestie saw a man in lederhosen!

Although we missed out on the Zombie Walk and Fright Night this year, I couldn't resist putting Cooper in his little NYPD outfit that my sister brought him back from the US. Cutest little Halloween costume! :)

Did you get dressed up for Halloween today?

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!

Linking up with Fashion Informant, Spotlight Weekly today.
