Here's what I wore to work today:

Jacket: Asos Black by Markus Lupfer printed leather jacket
Scarf: Alexander McQueen pink pashmina in skull and floral print
Necklace: gift from DH
Top: gifted grey team polo shirt
Skirt: Jeanswest zip detail ponte pencil skirt
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs logo plaque flats in black patent
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: Rebecca 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!

Another surprisingly warm winter day on Sunday! DH and I stopped by a car show with my father in law in the morning. It was such a lovely day to be outside. The good vibes continued when we got home and found out that we won the video competition at Church Online with our re-enactment of the Lion King scene with Cooper as Simba!
It's playing all week at http://live.lifechurch.tv/ if you want to see him being a little star! The times of each session are available here. Instead of a normal church service, we are watching movies, so click on over and check it out. It's all free of course, and everyone is invited.
Would love to know what you thought of Cooper's video, and the movie :)

Bit of red for a Monday! Just picked the colours for what I was wearing out of this dress that I haven't worn in a while. It's such a lovely print. Have had this dress at the back of my mind to wear for a bit, and the red seemed cheerful for Monday.

Nice colourful red dress to kick off the week. My Monday actually started off okay, despite the rain. Had a meeting first thing, and we were provided with cupcakes! Good way to start a day full of meetings. :)
Also had to give a presentation in the afternoon, so wore heels for a bit of a confidence boost. A few of us in the office are learning, practising, and getting some pointers on presenting. It's terrifying, but helpful too. My first attempt was recorded and it's so awkward to watch, but good to see so many things I can improve. Got a lot of constructive feedback as well. Hopefully over time I'll get over my fear of public speaking!

The cold and rainy weather continued today, so I decided to wear boots with this dress. I'm never too sure if long boots are too casual for the office or not? I've seen a few ladies at work wearing them, and they are very practical in this weather so gave them a go today. For a day without meetings it seemed okay. Tied my scarf a new way a colleague taught me yesterday, sits so nice with the opening of the jacket.

What do you think of the boots and dress combo as office wear?

Skirt: Jeanswest black ponte pencil skirt
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs logo plaque flats in black patent

Had the perfect outfit planned for work today, until I realised that I had worn it before! Changed the shoes, skirt and bag and tucked the top in this time to make it look different. No excuse for wearing the same thing over again when I have a wardrobe full of clothes waiting to be worn, haha. Was quite happy to wear my skull scarf with the Dachshund print top, although it reads like an odd combination I think it worked well.

Received a new purchase too, another handbag!

Here's what I wore today to go to the Reebonz sale and spend the afternoon by the sea:

Jacket: Wittner Santa Fe cobalt blue leather jacket
Necklace: silver Owl pendant long necklace from Paddy's Markets
Top: Jeanswest 'Hannah' print tank in paradise pink multi
Jeans: Sass and Bide "Straight up" jeans
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs studded mouse flats in grey

Long weekend starts today! Had today off to relax. I went to the Reebonz Australia Brisbane sale this morning. You can find some photos from the day on facebook by clicking the image below, and I shared some photos on instagram too.

There seemed to be a lot more bags than the last sale, although I feel I say that every time, haha. There was certainly lots of bright bags this time around. There was a really good range of brands as well, even some Reebonz Vintage items from Louis Vuitton. The sale is open on Saturday too, at Brisbane Hilton, so check it out if you are nearby.

After dropping by the sale and not buying anything as I just got a handbag yesterday, I spent the afternoon with mum and Cooper. We went out for lunch to Wellington Point and sat by the sea, it was really nice and relaxing. Cooper enjoyed the day out as well, he was well enough to walk around the waterfront with us which was lovely. I always find nothing relaxes me more than sitting by the water for a while.
Linking up with Friday's five, Casual Friday and Friday's Fancies today.


Last worn: cobalt leather jacket, printed tank, Sass and Bide jeans, studded mouse flats. First time I've worn the bag as it's a new purchase.
