Dress as a skirt & brooch as a necklace!

-


This has been such a busy week!  My two university classes went really well and I am excited to be studying again, learning new things and meeting new people.  Thank you so much to you, my blog friends, for your kind words of encouragement.  I really appreciate it!

Today's outfit is a dress that I wore as a skirt.  When I saw it on the hanger at the store, I just assumed it was a shirred waist skirt. When I got home, I noticed that the tag said it was actually a sleeveless dress!  Wearing it as a dress looked absolutely ridiculous on me, but I was happy with wearing it as a skirt!

The skirt dress or is it the dress skirt?!😂


The outfit:
Top: Sussan
Dress/Skirt: Mix Clothing
Shoes: Gino Ventori



In the spirit of converting things, I decided to wear my brooch as a necklace!

Copacabana brooch by Erstwilder

Beaded Necklace: Rockmans


Bracelet: Rockmans
Ring: Present from Mum
Ann Klein Bag: Present from Mum


This is the new bag Mum bought me in Hawaii.  I love the lion key ring attached to one of the handles. 


Do you ever wear clothing or accessories in a way that is different to it's intended use? Let me know! I'd love to hear from you!


Thank you for visiting my blog! XXX

    What a great idea to wear the "dress" as a skirt! So much better! Frankly speaking, I think a dress like that would look ridiculous on most people ... Wearing that fabulous brooch as a necklace is another great idea, Sasha. I'm loving your new handbag too. Your Mum really has the best taste. Aren't you a lucky girl? And look at Amber's serious face ;-) xxx

    Great idea, for me I often wear dresses as long tops because as dresses they are way to short. And love the "necklace" too cute.

      Thanks so much, Allie! That's a great idea: some dresses are just way too short, aren't they?! ;) XXX

    I too have bought what I thought was a skirt and it turned out to really be a dress. However, like you, I've worn them as skirts. Besides if worn as a dress, they would have been too short for me. I do like the different pattern in the dress/skirt. Also nice brooch and gorgeous handbag. Hawaii, you said. Guess I'll have to go there to check out the handbags!!!

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...

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 ...
