JacketAsos blazer in textured boucle with fluro binding
Top: Just Jeans sequin front black tank
Jeans: Sass and Bide "Straight up" jeans
Shoes: gifted black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC


Had a family lunch to celebrate my brother in law's birthday on Sunday, as well as having a few errands to run.

It's been almost a year and a half since I last wore this tank. I like it as the sequin detail is cute and it's a little prettier than a standard tank, but I'm not really happy with the fit or comfort (it has a big zip up the back). Definitely another item that needs to be in the donate pile.

It's good that working my way through wearing different pieces in my wardrobe is helping me to reduce what I own and at the same time expand on what I usually wear. For all the clothes I own, I rotate through very few of them. Having the ability to search my blog for the last time I wore something really shows me how often I wear things and is helping me to see I'm holding onto things I don't use.


Last worn: Asos fluro boucle blazer, sequin tank, Sass and Bide skinnies, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff silver mini MAC.

Worked from home today, so a casual and comfortable jeans and tee outfit. Had no idea I'd worn this exact outfit before just with different shoes until I searched for the last time I'd worn the top. It's good I'm wearing things I haven't worn in a while, just a shame I'm not wearing them in new ways ;)

Then in the evening I got changed for DH's work Christmas party. It was really nice! Smart casual dress code again, just like last year. And again, I went with a maxi dress as a simple option :) We took photos beforehand which I was grateful for as I only had my phone at the venue and the lighting was bad for pics.

Spent some time at Wellington point with the family today. We had a delicious BBQ lunch and then went for a walk over to King Island. By the time we were walking back to shore it was already pretty windy and we could see lightning in the storm clouds in the distance, so it was time to call it a day and take shelter. The wind might have been a bit much for Cooper in the end too, haha!
