The Owl and the Pussycat!

-

I hope you all had a nice and relaxing long weekend.  I sure did!  The weather here has been so unpredictable lately.  This morning it was raining quite heavily and then it was lovely and sunny and now the skies are looking grey again and it's become quite windy! It does make it a bit tricky when deciding what to wear of a morning, although it is still hot and humid, so no cardigans or jumpers to factor in to an outfit just yet!

This is only the second time I've worn this skirt!  I bought it about four years ago and wore it soon after that, but never again for some unknown reason!  I think I got it into my head that it was too long, tight around the stomach and a bit see-through in the sun!😂

I thought I would give it a go after all this time and wouldn't you know, it wasn't at all too long, tight or see-through!!  I'm so glad that I gave it another try after so long!  It's a definite keeper now!  I really need to go through my wardrobe and make sure there are no more hidden gems in there that are being blamed unfairly for my hang-ups!!😉

The outfit:
Top: Crossroads
Skirt: Tree of Life
Shoes: Instep
Necklace: Bought at Op-shop



Earrings & Ring: Lovisa
Owl Cuff: Present from Mum


Bag: Lily Bloom (Present from Mum)


Do you have a similar experience?  Did you recently re-discover an item of clothing after previously putting it aside?  Or the opposite, did you recently try on an "old favourite" only to find out you no longer like it?  Let me know!  I'd love to hear from you!  


Thank you for visiting my blog! XXX

    On your suggestion I'm going to look a bit more seriously in my wardrobe as I'm sure there are some things I've pushed aside by not liking the color, the length etc and maybe I'll find a new outfit also. That owl purse is absolutely amazing, what a great find by your Mum. I like the title as you have the owl purse and bangle and I certainly know of the pussycat, who is looking as cute as ever.

    Oh yes, this has happened to me too. I've had clothes I'd put into the give-away pile, then before actually getting rid of them, giving them another try, and feeling quite different about them. The owl purse is amazing and how cute is the owl cuff. Amber is looking fab with her necklace. I wouldn't be able to try that with Phoebe ... xxx

    I love this colour mix - the blue is a great shade with these warm browns. Amber matches purr-fectly! Nope, I never lose things in my closet, but I do forget about off-season things that I've bought and tucked away!

    Oh I'm glad you gave the skirt another go, it's lovely! I find some gems in my wardrobe when they get forgotten and suddenly rediscovered again, it's nice! :) I love the title of your post with your owl bag and adorable cat too, hehe!

    Hope you are having a great week so far!I have enjoyed the rainy weather. It's nice being able to still wear summer clothes without melting in the heat, haha. I do miss layering a little though, looking forward to it cooling off soon!

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!

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 purchase.  I had been on the lo
