Leopard Print, Stripes, Red Jeans, Balenciaga Clutch | Knit, Skinnies, Boots, LV Speedy

Here's what I wore on Saturday:

Scarf: Cotton On animal print scarf in blue
Necklace: gift from DH
Top: Living Doll stripe 3/4 sleeve top
Jeans: Jeanswest Pepper Red super skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga flat clutch GSH in 2010 Sang


Nice casual Saturday outfit. I bought a couple of basics in The Iconic sale last week, this was one of them and I love it. So comfortable and perfect for the weekends. Thought the printed scarf would be nice with the stripes.

Was a lovely day weather-wise so walked to the stores to run errands and took Cooper to the groomers. He needed a trim, his fur was getting much longer and it was drawing more attention to the side of him that was shaved for his op. Now his fur is shorter it's a little harder to notice :)


Last worn: blue leopard print scarf, red jeans, Converse, Balenciaga sang clutch. First time I've worn this tee as it's a recent purchase.

Here's what I wore  today:

Top: Supre knit loose fit jumper in bahamas
Jeans: Jeanswest blue skinny jeans
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Vintage Louis Vuitton speedy 25 in monogram canvas


Felt like something was missing from this outfit - maybe a necklace or scarf? Decided just to keep it simple though for a lazy Sunday. DH and I had planned to head to the beach with Cooper but the constant rain in the morning ruined our plans. Went out for lunch instead, and of course I had Church Online in the evening. If you like movies, check it out, we are watching movies all week.

Have been wanting to try pink with this jacket since I bought it. While I was contemplating the purchase, I kept thinking if it would really work in my wardrobe. And of course I could see it with greys and blacks and cream...and then I remembered this pink top. Just had to give this a try, as I love pink and blue together. And my favourite jeans of course ;) Glad it's not too cold so I can wear a tank in the office and just a jacket over the top outdoors.


Last worn: cobalt leather jacket, pink singlet, skinny jeans, Wittner heels, LV mono speedy.

Here's what I wore to work today:

Scarf: Cotton On white pashmina
Bracelets: the usual plus gifted Ferragamo double wrap bracelet
Dress: French Connection 'Woodblock wonder' panache dress in white/geranium rose
Belt: C/O Poppywinkle brown weave belt (came with Janet top)
Shoes: Acne pistol boots in "skin"
Bag: Vintage Louis Vuitton speedy 25 in monogram canvas

Another big scarf! It was a little too warm for this scarf today, although it was nice in the air conditioning at work and I wanted to keep my neck bundled up. There is probably zero benefit to my health but something in my brain just wants to wear scarves when I'm unwell. Maybe it's to lessen the blow of having to get out from under the doona each morning, haha!

I tried on a few printed scarves with this dress but wasn't quite sure that they looked okay, so went for the safe option with this big white pashmina instead. Would you wear a printed scarf with this dress? What do you think?


Last worn: orange dress, belt, pistol boots, speedy bag.
First time the scarf has been worn on the blog, but I've had it years.

Bag: Balenciaga envelope clutch in 2012 mangue with giant 12 RGGH from Reebonz

Close up of accessories and clutch:

Wanted to wear something comfortable yet suitable for dinner, so I went for a printed dress again. I really like the print on this dress and thought it would go well with my yellow clutch. I need to make an effort to wear my clutches more often, and yesterday was a good day to do so as I didn't have to carry much. The tan sandals seemed like an obvious choice to match the tan belt the dress came with.


The sunnies were last worn here, and clutch here. This is the first time I've worn the dress as it was a recent gift, and first time I've worn the sandals as they were a recent sale purchase.

Just a nice casual outfit to beat the heat today! I was a little worried that this top would be too long to pair with the shorts and I'm not 100% convinced now I see the photos. Won't pair these shorts and that tank together again. What do you think?

Dress: Jeanswest grey snake print maxi dress
Shoes: Nine West silver strap sandals
Bag: Chanel vintage quilted lambskin flap from Reebonz

Not the best outfit shot but I had to share with you the amazing view the venue had! We got to watch the sunset and there was even fireworks over the river. Just beautiful.

I wasn't sure what to expect for DH's work Christmas part as the dress code was "smart casual" which can have incredibly varied interpretations. I was happy with the maxi dress though, it was a very formal venue and I was comfortable all night. Some of the other ladies I met and chatted too had the same thoughts that I did - a dress always fits in! :)

Decided to go ahead and try coloured denim in the office today for casual Friday! :) I think it worked well, the blouse dressed them up nicely. What do you think?

Forgot to give a round up of my Buy Nothing New Month progress at the end of October! Total of 2 bracelets, some clothes from cotton on, a book and some Christmas presents bought new. Not bad, although I could have done better I was quite proud I didn't buy as much as I usually would. Did you do Buy Nothing New Month in October? How did you go?


You could win this blouse and more in my giveaway! :)

Striped tee, Orange Pants and Pistol Boots

Casual outfit again today for a relaxing Sunday.

Here's what I wore:

Top: Kmart striped drop shoulder tee
Necklace: really old, maybe Diva?
Bracelets: the usual plus Mimco studded leather wrap bracelet
Pants: Burnt Ochre orange pants from Vero Moda at Asos
Boots: Acne Pistol boots in 'skin'
Bag: Vintage Louis Vuitton speedy 25

Just got my LV speedy back this week from Reebonz - they offered a free bag cleaning service recently so I took the chance to get my speedy fixed up. You can see what it looked like before here. I think it looks great now! Really happy with how light the handles are.

Closeup of accessories:

I've been trying to think of a way to enter the Frivolous Friday "Bling It Up" challenge at the Fashionoclast. Although I have lots of accessories, and I love my bracelet stacks, I don't have a lot of what I would call bling. I do however, have this old Mimco wrap bracelet that I think stands out enough to be classed as bling with all the studs! What do you think?

I'm also wearing my loveliest bling that I wear every day, my wedding and engagement rings. They are more precious to me than any other items I own.

Don't forget to enter the Indigo Rose Design jewelry giveaway if you haven't already!
