A Hint of Mint!

-

This is what I wore on Saturday.  The weather was beautiful: warm in the sun and a little cool in the shade.  Therefore, I thought it was the perfect weather for a hint of mint!  

This was my first wear of my recently purchased sleeveless knit vest in mint.  It doesn't photograph as minty as it looks in real life, but you get the idea!  It was the perfect amount of coverage and added a bit of extra colour and texture to an otherwise pretty ordinary outfit.

I chose to go with a minty grey colour scheme but added my recently purchased Frida Kahlo as a cat brooch, to add some cheer and quirk!  I also wore my chunky minty necklace and my cute new sparkly kitty earrings as well, for the first time.  It was a day of firsts! 

Speaking of firsts, I visited the big Salvo's op-shop on Saturday and bought absolutely nothing!  I really must be in a slump, because I always find something to tickle my fancy! Oh, well!  There's always next time!

The outfit:
Top: Sussan
Sleeveless Knit Vest: Katies
Jeans: Suzanne Grae
Shoes: Kmart
Bag: Carryland




Necklace: Bought from pop-up markets


Frida Cat Brooch: Blossom & Cat


Earrings: Blossom & Cat

    I giggled at the encourage mint at the end! That's a really nice vest too! I love the necklace and brooch with it, as always you have accessorised beautifully :)

    Sometimes I have no luck opshopping. I can usually find things for the boys, but not always things for me. They don't give me a lot of time to browse as much as I'd like, ha!

    Hope that you are having a great start to your week and you had a lovely weekend! :)

      Thanks so much, Mica! I can imagine it would be hard to shop with 2 little ones! It's not even easy shopping with one bigger one! Ha! ;) Hope you're having a great week so far too. XXX

    You're looking lovely in your minty outfit. I know it's a hard to photograph colour. How coo is the Frieda Kahlo cat brooch, and your sparkly cat earrings are brilliant, in both senses of the word. I might not be you but the op-shop that's in a slump. I find this happens at certain times here too! Have a lovely week, Sasha! 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 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!

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 ...
