Wore a bit of maroon for the final State of Origin match! Really like this dress and tall boots combination after trying it out before. And of course the maroon blended in nicely with all of the Queensland footy shirts around. Was pretty cool that Queensland won for the 8th year in a row :)

BagRebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey


The truth about this branded polo shirt I was given through my work is that it is two sizes too large. They ordered a batch to hand out to celebrate the success of a large project, and there were not a lot of size options available. This was the smallest, but at the time I didn't see it as an issue as I wasn't expecting to wear it often.

When we were asked to wear it again today, it was a little tricky. I couldn't tuck some of it into jeans or hide it under a hoodie like last time, as they are not the best mid-week office clothes. After comparing the options on facebook, I decided to just wear it with a pencil skirt. It was fun talking to the other ladies in the office and comparing the ways they had worn theirs today - a few of us are smaller than a size 12 so we were in the same situation with shirts too big.

Although my office is business casual and people do wear jeans every day of the week in the office, I do try to keep them just to casual Friday. Not every team or department is as relaxed with their dress codes, and I want to make a good impression. Will see if I change my tune when I have to wear the polo again next week of course!

Was a nicer day in Melbourne on Friday so I left my jacket behind. I shopped the Reebonz offline sale, got lost for a while, did some more shopping and went out for dinner. I'm carrying my sale purchase in the photo ;)
Was pleasantly surprised to see that the Reebonz Melbourne offline sale is much larger than the Brisbane ones - it was impossible to get one photo of the entire room!

You can view the photos from the Melbourne Reebonz sale here, and see what I bought in the sale below.



Last worn: yellow sunnies, jersey dress, Marc by Marc Jacobs flats, Fran handbag.

Was an early start to go on a tour of the Great Ocean Road this morning. Of all the times I've been to Melbourne, I've never been to the Great Ocean Road before, so was really excited to go today.

Was a very long but amazing trip - so many great things to see, I uploaded a few photos to my instagram. The photo above was taken at our first stop, Bell's Beach.


Last worn: yellow sunnies (above), Marc By Marc Jacobs tee, red Alexander McQueen scarf, jeans, Converse.

Jersey Dress, DinoDirect Jacket, Flats, Balenciaga Part Time

Here's what I wore to work today:

DressFrench Connection star dancing jersey dress in red rust/almond (similar here)

Alice from DinoDirect contacted me to some time ago offer me a voucher to spend on clothes on the website, and I picked this jacket as I thought it would be perfect for spring. It was a little windy this evening taking photos so it was tricky to get a good one of the jacket as it kept catching in the wind. The only non-windy one picture when I'd taken the jacket off, and then Cooper decided to stand right in front of me, hehe!  Just had to share that one.

I like that I can share these kinds of silly photos with you all. I'm not doing a massive full scale photoshoot production for every blog post, I'm just taking a picture of what I wear every day hoping to get some feedback and suggestions for my next outfit :) Thank you all for reading.


Don't forget to check out my facebook Reebonz goodie bag giveaway! It ends on Friday.


The dress was last worn here, shoes here and bag here. This is the first time I've worn this jacket I received courtesy of Alice at Dino Direct.

Today's outfit was completely inspired by Joelyne from The Sydney Girl. She posted a very similar outfit yesterday. I was inspired to wear my little red dress, jacket and boots today after seeing her post. I kept nice and cosy with the scarf too :) Even took a street style photo just like June from Stylish With a Budget, lots of inspiration today!

The Sate of Origin final match is on tonight - so of course I had to wear maroon to show my support for Queensland. Since the dress has a polka dot star print, I thought it would be fun to wear my star print scarf with it too!
I'm not too sure about these boots with the outfit though. Do you think I should have gone for black boots instead? Wanted to keep my feet warm but comfortable, and I like the low chunky heel the pistol boots have so I picked these over my black boots. What do you think? Would you change the boots?

I love all of these pieces separately, just not feeling them all together. It was such an overcast day today I wore my glitter flats to cheer me up, but maybe another shoe would have been better with this outfit. What do you think?
