Not what I really wanted to wear on Friday, but met the guidelines set down for our team day at work! I got text from colleagues the night before telling me I was required to wear a red top as part of our team uniform. One also said white, and although they corrected it to red later, I thought I would wear the white skirt to be safe. The last minute planning paid off though, and we won best dressed team on the day! :)

First time I've worn this tee in the almost 2 years I've had this blog - I have a big pile of graphic tees that used to be on high rotation and just don't get worn as much now I work in an office. I still hang onto them, because sometimes you just need a good tee!


Last worn: striped skirt, red suede flats, Balenciaga part time bag. First time I've worn this old tee on the blog.




Here's what I wore today:
coral cami and jeans casual weekend outfit RM mini MAC

Top: Jeanswest 'Kara' coral pleated cami
Jeans: Jeanswest 'spoylt' super skinny jeans
Shoes: gifted black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC


Wore this simple jeans outfit today to take Cooper to have Santa photos done, and to go out for dinner with DH's best mate. (Although I did change into sandals for dinner). This top isn't one that gets much wear time and I was planning to make this its last chance wear before it went in the donate pile. It's tricky to wear as I need a tube top underneath because it's see-through, but I love the style and colour, so it's still staying in my wardrobe for now.


Today I wanted to share the record-breaking attempt by the Animal Welfare League of Queensland to empty all of their shelters before Christmas! In order to help do this, they have reduced the adoption price for one weekend only, this Saturday and Sunday the 7th and 8th December. They haven't relaxed their adoption requirements, just the price barrier. So if you or anyone you know has been thinking about adopting a dog or cat, now is a great time!


AWLQ is where we adopted Cooper. We will always be grateful to the organisation that took in a scared stray, gave him a life-saving operation and put him up for adoption when no-one came to claim him.


Last worn: coral cami, Jeanswest jeans, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC.

Another dress! I have plenty of wardrobe options but I keep falling back on dresses for work this week - they are just the easiest and simplest option for the office. The mouse flats were noticed by my colleague during a mid morning meeting. I tried my hardest not to laugh when he pointed at my shoes, smiled, and made a little mouse face complete with hands for ears. Definitely made me smile for the rest of the meeting though :)

Today was a short day at work. Lots of meetings (again!) in the morning, and then we had a team building in the afternoon, so it was casual wear. I thought a maxi skirt would be a good choice.
We had a BBQ in Roma Street Parklands, which is a lovely spot to sit in for the afternoon. We timed our leaving perfectly, as the predicted afternoon storm just started as we walked into the train station to go home. Although I do feel sorry for those who decided to walk back to the city before heading home!

Linking up with Three-fer Thursday, Fashion Informant, Friday's Fancies, What I Wore to Work, Friday's Fab Favourites, Casual Friday today.
