Orange Outfit!

-

After doing so well on my op-shopping expedition at the weekend, I couldn't wait to wear the skirt I bought with one of the bags I picked up!  The skirt has a black background with tiny orange, yellow and white flowers all over it.  It's a nice soft and cool fabric and was only $4!  It didn't have any tags on it, but it reminds me of a skirt I wore back in the late 90s, when I was at university!

I chose to accentuate the orange flowers in the skirt by pairing it with an orange cardi on a black background and adding orange accessories.  I knew my thrifted orange/red shiny bag would be perfect with this outfit!


The outfit:
Black top: Katies
Orange cardi: Millers
Skirt (brand unknown): Salvation Army Op-Shop
Shoes: Gino Ventori






The accessories:
Necklace: Tree of Life
Ring: Rockmans
Carpe Diem Bangle: Butterfly Silver
Nine West Bag: Salvation Army Op-Shop


I really love the colour of this bag! Due to it's shiny material it can look orange or red (or both!😉) depending on the light. 

I had planned on wearing my new earrings (below) to complement the other colours in the skirt and bag, but I completely forgot to put them on!  Definitely next time!😉

    I think you have put this outfit together really well as I think it looks very nice. It goes to prove that if you search around, you can find an outfit that doesn't cost lot of money and yet still looks really nice. Never mind missing the ear rings, they can be added at another time.

    That's such a dun outfit! I love orange but don't have enough of it in my wardrobe! I used to have this bright neon orange top but I'm not sure where it is now. Your skirt was a great find, you can get so many bargains in opshops! I wish I had more time to browse :)

    Hope that you are having a lovely weekend! Another extreme weather weekend here. So hot, we are staying near the air conditioner.

      Thanks so much, Mica! I never used to wear any orange or yellow, but lately I'm really drawn to those colours! It is so much fun browsing around op-shops, isn't it?! You never know what you'll find! Hope you keep cool this weekend! ;) XXX

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
