Why I wore it:
This was a really sunny but windy day - I did wonder a few times if I should have added a denim jacket to this outfit, but with all the walking around we did I think I would have been too warm. I ended up taking off my scarf to give to my son to wear when he complained he was cold as it got cloudy in the afternoon and he hadn't wanted to wear a jacket. It was perfect weather for kite flying at the Brisbane kite festival though!Despite the different pastel purple shade of the earrings and the deeper purple in the print on the scarf, I really liked these accessories together! The purple looks great with the fuchsia dress, and this was a nice and colourful outfit for a fun day out at the festival. We bumped into a few friends there too, so many people were there! The boys saw their friends from school and one of my colleagues was there with their family as well, was such a fun day. And of course, lots of kite flying fun! The Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag was perfect for carrying water bottles for everyone, although I did also have the big reusable tote with a blanket in it for the small amount of time we spent sitting down on the grass.

Why I wore it:
This was a slightly less fun day for the kids - they both had the dentist! It was a much warmer day than the day above, so I did regret having such a cosy scarf when we went for a little opshop after the dentist. I'd planned to let the kids pick out a couple of books for being so well behaved at the dentist, but strangely there were no kids books - I think the opshop was in the process of moving things around, and we just couldn't find them with all the Saturday shopping crowd.Scarf did double up well as a comfort blanket for my not too sure of the dentist son though, to help him be brave in the dentist chair!
Afterward we headed out to Circonomy to have a look for some new office furniture - I've been working from home occasionally before 2020 (since I went back to the office after maternity leave for my now 8 year old son!) and the chair I had at home was starting to show its age. Managed to pick up a super comfortable ergonomic chair for just $9 which impressed my husband so much he got one too, to replace the chair he uses for working from home. Circonomy has a lot of unsold or donated office supplies, and even the kids ended up walking away with some notebooks they could draw in. Was good to have such success there after no luck in the opshop!
