Black Doesn't Have To Be Boring!

-
I love colour!  I love colourful skirts, pants and accessories.  When it comes to accessorising, the brighter the better! I absolutely adore bright and vibrant colours all around me.  Colour makes me happy!  

So, why do I wear black tops so often? Well, the simple answer is: I feel more comfortable and less "exposed" in a black top.  I feel my bust size (and gut size😉) are a little less obvious in a black top!  So, in a black top I feel less self-conscious and brave enough to go bright for the rest of the outfit!  In fact, when I wear black on top I put extra effort into planning the rest of the outfit and making sure it isn't dull and boring! 

Here are 10 outfits I've worn recently.  Hopefully these outfits demonstrate that black doesn't have to be boring and that even though I wear black tops, I'm all about the colours!😉

    I used to wear black all the time, and now I hardly wear any black at all. I can understand your reasoning, but personally I think you're looking great in differently coloured tops as well. A black top is very versatile, of course, going with virtually everything. I'm loving your two last outfits best and the ultimate winner, for me, is the last outfit, as I'm a big fan of green! xxx

    I've scrolled through your outfits several times trying to find a favorite but unfortunately I can't as I like them equally. All a black top needs to brighten up an outfit is accessories which you have achieved.

    I have a few black tops that I wear as layering pieces, but very few that I wear as stand-alone tops. I think you look great in colours - pff, gut, whatever, girl! Wearing things that fit will do more for you than a big boxy top! :)

    I always wear black! I love the way you styled your black items with little pops of color. That's my favorite way to do it too! Very cute looks!

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 Asi...

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! Outfit 1: Top: H&M Crochet ca...

Burgundy & Beads!

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 ...
