Styling a paisley dress

-
Paisley would have to be my absolute favourite pattern when it comes to fabric. I have many brightly coloured paisley items of clothing but I also have a black and white paisley dress that had been sitting in my wardrobe for a year and it still had the tags on it!

Well, this dress finally made its debut out into the world! I added a shaggy woollen vest and some accessories (of course!) and am wondering what took me so long to wear it! It really is great doing this daily styling challenge because I'm discovering hidden gems from my own wardrobe!


Dress from Autograph

Vest from Rockmans

The necklace:


Big W

The brooch:



Neko The Beckoner by Erstwilder.  I have become obesessed with Erstwilder brooches recently! I'm not in any way affiliated with Erstwilder and I'm not getting any freebies or anything, I just genuinely love their designs!

I especially love this brooch because it's a Japanese design! With the left paw up the manekineko (beckoning cat) is summoning for good fortune to come. With the right paw up, wealth is being summoned.



I wonder which paw my muse will raise...
The ring:


The bracelet:


Lovisa



The bag:


SPARKLY TM

How cute is this double-sided bag?! Mum bought it for me in Hawaii!

"What am I going to wear tomorrow?"

Thank you for visiting my daily styling challenge!

    Another well put together outfit. I especially like the fact that you have used a dress this time as sometimes the use of tops and bottoms i.e. skirts or trousers doesn't give the same through look as a dress does. The bag is an excellent find especially from Hawaii. I must also say I was pleased to see your muse looking gorgeous as always.

Up, Up & Away!

Do you consider yourself to be adventurous?  What does it mean to you to be adventurous?  Has the meaning of adventurous changed for you as you've grown older?   The other day I was out shopping with the family and noticed a new play area for kids, with hot air balloons painted on the walls.  After a quick family game of table tennis in which I truly sucked, the images of hot air balloons got me thinking about adventures and what it means to be adventurous.   I've never been adventurous in the extreme activities kind of way, such as partaking in skydiving, bungee jumping or even hot air ballooning!  I've never been interested in the first two activities, but I would like to ride in a hot air balloon and float up, up and away into the sky! In my twenties, I was adventurous in terms of travel and exploring new places.  I moved to Japan for two years when I was twenty one and travelled all around Japan (and other parts of Asia) by myself.  I always tried ne

Colourful Crop Cardis & Midi Skirts

Our internet is in and out at the moment, so while it's in , I'm going to go for it! The outfits I'm sharing with you today are quite different on the surface, as the colour schemes are dramatically different!  The first one has lots of autumnal colours and a bit of a 1970s vibe and the second one features more summery colours with a slight nautical vibe!  When I wore these outfits recently, I never thought they were similar at all, until I was going through my blog photos and realised both outfits were made up of colourful tees, cropped cardis and midi skirts!  So in that realisation, this post was born! My favourite outfit is the first one, because I haven't worn those colours much before and I was happy pairing these items together for the first time!  I like the second outfit as well, but I do wear blue and red together quite often.  Actually, it might be a good outfit for Australia Day, which is coming up soon!

Can you believe it is almost the end of February?  I am still getting used to it being 2019, and the second month is already almost over!  This is my last week to get everything sorted out before my postgraduate studies resume again next week.  I haven't even ordered my textbooks yet!  I really need to get organised!   In the outfit I'm sharing today, I'm wearing one of my fave maxi skirts that I've had for many, many years!  I've worn it with many different coloured tops over the years, but this was the first time wearing my new burgundy coloured top.  I love the burgundy and wine colours that are around at the moment.  They're so pretty! The outfit: Top: H & M Skirt: Tree of Life Sandals: Gino Ventori Necklace: Diva I've had these beads for so many years now, but I never tire of wearing them!  They add a bit of colour and cheer to every outfit.   Bag: Marikai This bag is a new purchase.  I had been on the lo
