Trench Coats, Heels, Mulberry Alexa and Bayswater Bags, Midi Dress, Pinstripe Pants

Here's what I wore to work on Monday:

Jacket: Barkins beige trench coat 
Scarf: Alexander McQueen skull scarf white/pink modal
Dress: Asos midi dress in black lace
Shoes: Wittner 'Bloomy' black heels
Bracelets: the usual plus Edenborough Evans 'Ivy' silver cuff
Bag: Mulberry Bayswater in Oak NVT leather


Simple dress and heels outfit for Monday. A little bit of colour with my scarf, as I really like wearing pink with this dress. Probably should have gone with a different length of coat with this dress though, maybe a more cropped one? Not my favourite outfit.

Decided to wear my Bayswater bag as it's been neglected a bit lately, although when it started raining in the afternoon I regretted my decision, haha. Luckily I managed to keep the bag nice and dry. The Oak NVT bays is terrible for waterspots I've read, always so worried when it rains!


Last worn: trench coat, pink skull scarf, Asos lace dress, Wittner heels, Mulberry Bayswater bag.

Here's what I wore to work today:

Jacket: Temt Black trench coat 
Top: Warehouse grey bead front jumper
Pants: Basque pinstripe pants
Shoes: Wittner 'Lumen' heel in patent leather
Bracelets: the usual plus Marc by Marc Jacobs enamel turnlock stripey hinge black and white bangle  and gifted Balenciaga classic pearly grey double tour bracelet
Bag: Mulberry regular size Alexa bag in foggy grey


My legs were a little cold yesterday, so decided to wear pants to work today. Like the skirt I wore last week, this is another item of clothing I once had on heavy rotation but now barely wear. Only wore them twice last year! I had to give these up when I injured my knee and had to stick to flats, as they really only work with heels. Should try wearing pants to work more often now my knee has healed. As well as having warmer legs, I like this outfit better than yesterday's. :)


Linking up with Style Elixir, What I wore Wednesday today.

Last worn: black trench coat, embellished knit, pinstripe pants, nude heels, Mulberry regular Alexa.

Leather Jackets: French Connection Shift Dress, Ankle Boots, Balenciaga Work | Grey Tank, Jeans, Studded Flats, Mulberry Alexa

Here's what I wore to work on Thursday:

Jacket: Asos Black by Markus Lupfer printed leather jacket
Dress: French Connection 'Kay' houndstooth shift dress
Shoes: Asos Aggie leather western ankle boots in black
Bracelets: the usual plus studded and chain link Oroton leather bracelets
Bag: Balenciaga classic work in 2006 Rouille


Pretty much wearing the exact same outfit as the last time I wore this dress, only with a leather jacket this time. It just works so well with boots and a Balenciaga, haha. A nice easy outfit so you can see why I've repeated it. The photos don't show the detail the best, so as requested on my last post, I took a close up of the print on the jacket on instagram.


Last worn: printed leather jacket, French Connection dress, Asos ankle boots, Balenciaga rouille work.

Here's what I wore to work for casual Friday today:

Jacket: Wittner Santa Fe cobalt blue leather jacket (New purchase)
Top: Cotton On 'eternity' tank in charcoal marle
Jeans: Sass and Bide strayed misfits skinny jeans
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs studded mouse flats in grey
Bracelets: the usual plus Lovisa 'Collette by Collette Dinnigan' twisted bow charm and heart charm silver bracelets and Edenborough Evans 'Ivy' silver cuff
Bag: Mulberry regular size Alexa bag in foggy grey


Only found out that Wittner made leather jackets when this beautiful blue was one posted on their instagram a while ago. I kept thinking about it and eventually ordered it, along with the leather jacket from Asos above. I usually have a difficult time finding nice leather jackets so I thought if I get two, I might get lucky with one of them and could return the one that didn't work. Of course I kept them both. The colour and leather on this jacket are amazing. Bags are my go-to splurge items, but I made an exception in this case. I'm so pleased with it! :)

Unfortunately, today we had a really important meeting this afternoon, I had forgotten about. Since we were asked to dress more formally than the usual casual Friday wear, my friend and I popped out at lunchtime to shop so I could get a jumper to cover up my bare shoulders with! :)


Last worn: grey marle tank, Sass and Bide jeans, studded shoes, Mulberry Alexa. It's the first time I've worn the jacket as it's a new purchase.

Purple Skinny Jeans, Grey Beaded Knit, Mulberry Alexa | Vintage Printed Pencil Skirt, Wittner Heels, Chloe Marcie Bag

Here's what I wore on Sunday to go to lunch with DH and work at Church Online in the evening:

Jumper: Warehouse grey bead front jumper
Jeans: Jeanswest blackberry super skinny jeans
Shoes: gifted black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus gifted Balenciaga classic pearly grey double tour bracelet
Bag: Mulberry regular size Alexa bag in foggy grey from Reebonz sale


I purchased this jumper a while back, with the Warehouse gift voucher I won. I knew it would soon be cool enough to wear it, so glad I got a chance to this weekend. Still wearing thongs though, because after a week of heels my feet needed a break!


Last worn: purple skinny jeans, shoes, Mulberry Alexa. First time I've worn the top as it has only just gotten cool enough to wear it!

Here's what I wore to work today:

Necklace: sterling silver monogram necklace C/O MyNameNecklace.com.au
Top: Supre purple half-length sleeve top
Skirt: Vintage pencil skirt from The Thrifty Kitten
Shoes: Wittner 'Lumen' heel in patent leather
Bracelets: the usual plus gifted faux pearl and silver chain bracelet
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium hobo bag in Nut


Got this skirt back from the tailor this weekend. I only wore it twice last year as the length was a little odd on me. I got it taken up so I'm more comfortable in it and will wear it more often. It's got such a lovely colourful print on it, tried to bring out the purple a little with this top. In hindsight, probably should have picked a more contrasting background to stand against for the photo though, haha!


Last worn: skirt, heels, Chloe Marcie bag. First time I've worn the top on the blog although I've had it years now. Good basic piece.

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.


Last worn: colour block top, pencil skirt, Alexander Wang Rocco.

Here's what I wore to work for casual Friday today:

Scarf: Cotton On animal print scarf in blue (New purchase)
Top: Supre white gathered top
Jeans: Jeanswest Super Skinny Jeans in Mid Indigo
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.


Last worn: top, skinny jeans, shoes, Mulberry Alexa bag.

Here's what I wore to go shopping and take Cooper to the groomers today:

Jeans: Kmart grey leopard print cropped skinny jeans

Unfortunately after breakfast this morning, the rain set in and ruined my plans to take tripod photos. So DH took these pictures after we picked Cooper up from the groomers in the afternoon, using the awning from the stores for protection from the rain.

The groomer gave Cooper a cute little purple bow in his hair after his haircut, matched quite nicely with my purple outfit!

It was a little cool and rainny so I wore boots and a cardi to keep warm. I've seen a lot of people belting jackets and cardis lately so wanted to give it a try - this was the perfect dress to try it with I think. Really liked it, will definitely be wearing it again in future :)

I was hunting through my wardrobe earlier in the week looking for a particular black top - that I decided not to wear anyway once I found it - and came across this top. I really love the colours and print on it, but I haven't worn it much, which is a shame. Last time I wore it was January 2011. It's crazy that I can let such a pretty top go unworn for over 2 years, and that I have enough clothes in my wardrobe to allow that to happen!!!

Rather unintentionally dark outfit when I look at the photos today! I wore the Alexa to add a bit of colour but as it's a greyish lilac maybe I should have went for a brighter bag instead. Very casual again today as it's so warm, just wanted to keep cool outside of the office. This skirt is really comfortable as it has an elastic waist. Was really nice to wear all day.

The sunnies were last worn here, tee here, sandals here and bag here. This is the first time I've worn the skirt.

Jeans are still my favourite item of clothing, but printed dresses are my top pick for office wear. What's your favourite clothing item?

It was a very cold and wet day today, so I wore my leather jacket and boots to keep warm. Had a little bit of colour from my printed dress and bag. Only one photo today as it was too cold to take my jacket off. The proportions look a little odd to me in the photo, but I just wanted to keep warm. Had a scarf in my bag in case it was needed too, although the air con at work was broken again so it was really hot inside.

Asos have a 50% off sale at the moment, and you can get an extra 10% off using the code "MEGA10". I'm trying not to buy anything and stick to the Buy Nothing New Month challenge, but we'll see how long I last!

Just wanted to be warm and comfortable for being back in the office today, as it was so cold and rainy. Wish I could have stayed in bed instead as I was still struggling to talk at some points today. It was good to have the big scarf to wrap around me at my desk.
Giant scarves and pashminas are amazing in winter, or when you're not feeling well! On reflection I probably should have taken it off for the photos so you could see the dress better...I'll remember for next time.


The Shopbop summer sale is on now - have you bought anything? :) I really like this printed tee.

Thanks for all your sweet comments yesterday :) Oscar is very cute, and I'm glad he's been rescued from the puppy farm.

Sorry for my odd smile in the first photo! I am surprised I haven't worn the top before this year - one of my favourites, I used to wear it to work frequently! Wasn't too impressed with it today as it didn't seem to sit right with the skirt, what do you think?
