French Connection LBD, Wittner Heels, LV Neverfull | Black Top, Jacquard Pencil Skirt, Marco Tagliaferri Bag

Here's what I wore to work on Monday:

Necklace: House of Harlow 5 station necklace in black and silver
Bracelets: the usual plus Marc by Marc Jacobs enamel turnlock stripey hinge bracelet in black and white
Dress: French Connection fitted little black dress
Shoes: Wittner Mimi heels in mushroom
Bag: Louis Vuitton MM damier azur neverfull

Dressing slightly more on the business side of business casual this week. I won't bore you with details, but this week I'm getting to work in a new office with a different team of people, some from out of state so I'm being a little more formal with what I wear. The best bit is that I'm getting to work closely with one of my friends from the Sydney office. Felt that a LBD was a good way to kick off the week on the right foot, and heels because I was incredibly nervous and always feel a little more confident in heels.

Last worn: dress, heels, LV Neverfull bag.

Cooper wouldn't sit still for the photos, he wanted to continue on with his walk!

We got up at 3.30 am to attend the dawn service, so I wore comfortable clothes. I also swapped my thongs for converse, and added a hoodie and scarf. The service was very moving, even the priest was tearing up as he told a war story. Lots to be thankful for. It warmed up to a lovely sunny day, so changed out of the layers and warm footwear as we took Cooper out for a walk. The sunglasses were needed as it was bright, but also appreciated having them to hide my tired eyes!


Last worn: blue sunnies, Threadless tee, jeans, shoes, Mimco bag.

Jeans: Cotton On grey skinnies

Was trying to decided what to wear when I realised it had been a very long time since I wore this top! Over a year. Had a big meeting despite it being casual Friday, so I wore a blazer over this and I thought the black and grey worked well to look more professional. Added pink sandals and a fun bag too though, it was Friday after all!


Last worn: pink sunnies, floral top, grey skinnies, Balenciaga sorbet sandals, Balenciaga city.

Tomorrow is Anzac day, where we honour and remember those who died serving Australia. We will be up early as a family to go to the dawn service. "At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them". It's good to have a break in the work week, and it's good to be able to pay our respects to those who gave up so much for us.

Dress: Jeanswest 'Gwenda' print dress
Belt: gifted Cotton On black waist belt
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs patent mouse flats in black and white

Just a nice simple printed dress outfit today. I ended up taking the scarf off during the day, but it kept me warm on the journey to and from work. Although the training course means I'm home later in the evening, I'm still having to work on the project in the morning before the class begins, so I'm up really early for that and an extra layer comes in handy when it's cooler.


Last worn: black belt, dress, Marc Jacobs mouse flats, Chloe Marcie Hobo. First time I've worn the scarf as it's a new purchase.

I'm on a training course this week. The dress code was smart casual, so I went with a printed dress as it's become my default when I'm not sure how to dress! The outfits on my fellow attendees ranged from suit and tie to shorts and tee, so I don't think I could have dressed wrongly really :)

Cooper and I both look ridiculous in this picture so I had to post it, haha! This is what happens when you go "wait did that work?" after the shutter delays for an extra second! Wearing a more casual outfit today after seeing some of the casual wear on the training course on Monday. Really wanted an excuse to wear this adorable dog print top from Target. I bought it in the sale when I went shopping last week and have just been waiting to wear it. It's little Dachshunds, how could you not love it?!

The shoes are another new purchase, the ones I wore last week to run across the city without breaking them in first. They are still being stubborn, although my other patent leather MbMJ flats broke in fine. Today was a good day to wear them as I only ran around the office for a couple of hours before heading off to training, where we sat down most of the day. If you have any tips for how to break in patent leather shoes quickly, please let me know :)

Here's what I wore to go to the office on Saturday:

Top: band tee from KissChasy "Bones and skin" tour
Belt: gifted Portmans pink leopard print skinny jeans
Shoes: gifted black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus enamel coated Marc By Marc Jacobs Katie bracelet in pink
Bag: Chloe Ethel leather satchel in sweet pink

It was a long day, and dark and rainy when I went to take photos, so another indoor shot. Yes, what I wore to the office on the weekend :( We had to come into the office to get more work done on a project. It felt very wrong going into work on a Saturday! Wore these pink jeans and pink accessories to add some cheerfulness to my look. I've always thought the pink leopard print was too loud for the office, but on a day without a dress code they were perfect. The thongs weren't an issue either - there were a few people running around barefoot for maximum comfort!

Shoes: New Look black bow detail peep toe heels
Bracelets: the usual plus old multi-coloured bangle set, Indigo Rose Design black leather Swarovski beaded wrap bracelet
Bag: Chanel vintage quilted lambskin flap from Reebonz

Bought these awesome purple skinnies when I went late night shopping after work with my mum and sister. I'd seen them in store and online a few times, but wasn't sure if I could justify another pair of jeans. When we saw them in store this week, they were only $30 so I finally caved and bought them. Such a nice purple, I'm so glad I got them! Dressed up a little with heels as I knew I wouldn't have to do much walking today.

Colour Block Top, Plaid Pencil Skirt, Alexander Wang Rocco | Blue Leopard Print Scarf, Skinny Jeans, Mulberry Alexa Bag

Here's what I wore to work on Thursday:

Top: Cotton On Finland Spliced top in hommus / black / washed orange
Skirt: French Connection plaid pencil skirt
Shoes: Nine West black flats that usually live under my desk in the office
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Alexander Wang Rocco with gold hardware in dark argon from Reebonz

Not too sure about this outfit - maybe a necklace would have looked great with the top? It's definitely missing something. Swapped the pencil skirt out for a pair of skinny jeans when I went out shopping in the evening and felt much more comfortable  Although I wore thongs to and from the office I wore these flats when I was at work, they stay under my desk for when I need a nice pair of flat black shoes. Managed to take this photo when I popped out the office for a bit of fresh air.

Shoes: Nine West fascinate ballet flats in silver glitter
Bracelets: the usual plus Indigo Rose Design waxed leather cream howlite beaded wrap bracelet
Bag: Mulberry regular size Alexa bag in foggy grey from Reebonz sale

The rain wasn't going away by the time I got home in the evening, so had to take indoor photos. Just like when I started the blog! Only now the clothes rack is so weighed down it looks like it's falling on one side...and my shoe collection has expanded...haha. My push to get rid of most of my heels and replace all of my thongs with sandals and cute flats has meant I've run out of spaces for shoes.
Starting to think I should get up earlier in the morning and get photos then, as it's difficult to get good lighting at the end of the day. Really liked this outfit, just not the photos.

Tried to get a shot of my nails in the detail picture - got a free Ciate statement nail mani at lunch time. First time I've tried caviar polish, so I'm interested to see how it lasts! It's 'lemon fizz' I'm wearing, there is a better pic on instagram here.

Ruffle Top, Jacquard Pencil Skirt, Marco Tagliaferri Bag | Asos Lace Dress, LV Bandeau Belt, Balenciaga Sapphire City

Was off sick on Monday, I only got dressed to go walk Cooper. Will spare you the details of that outfit.

Here's what I wore to work on Tuesday:

Necklace: gift from DH
Top: Forever 21 sheer black ruffle detail shirt
Skirt: Warehouse blue jacquard pencil skirt (New purchase, using competition prize gift voucher)
Shoes: NineWest Lovelyou studded flats in black
Bracelets: the usual plus Marc by Marc Jacobs enamel turnlock stripey hinge bracelet in black and white and Indigo Rose Design black leather Swarovski beaded wrap bracelet
Bag: Marco Tagliaferri first generation birk bag in navy from HGBags Online

My new shoes arrived at work Tuesday, so I tried them on to break them in as I walked around the office, as usual. Unfortunately, I realised I was late for an appointment and rushed out the door, forgetting to swap back into the studded flats I'd worn to work. My ankles are so sore now! My own fault for not taking a moment to change out of the stiff shoes. Patent leather too, major ouch! Changed into more comfortable flats as soon as I got back to my desk. The new flats are sadly back in their box for a while I heal. Need to break shoes in slowly, not run across the city in them!


Last worn: ruffle top, studded flats, Marco Tagliaferri bag. First time I've worn the skirt.

Bag: Balenciaga RH city in 2008 sapphire

Thought I would add a little bit of colour to the black dress with some bright accessories. I wanted to add pink and purple to match the scarf, but it wasn't until I looked at the photos that I realised even my orange nails matched one of the scarf colours!

Shoes: Rebecca Minkoff 'Beach Babe' strappy sandals in electric pink
Bracelets: the usual plus gifted purple Salvatore Ferragamo 'Vara' leather bow bracelet
Bag: Balenciaga RH city in 2008 sapphire

A few showers on an otherwise sunny day, so added a scarf to keep warm. However the open toed sandals and a maxi dress were probably not the best ideas - the dress quickly got wet and weighed down with the rain, ended up having to change when I got home. Should just keep this maxi dress for dry days!


Last worn: feather print maxi dress, pink sandals, Balenciaga sapphire city. First time I've worn the scarf.
