Print Mixing with Shades of Blue

-

I'm fairly new to the world of blogging and even more so when it comes to the world of print mixing!  Up until recently, my go-to style was if I'm wearing a print on top I'd wear a solid colour on the bottom and vice versa.  Print mixing seemed like something only disorganised people with either zero interest in fashion would wear (think: just woke up & grabbing any clothes & heading out the door!) or at the opposite extreme, for fashionistas on the runway and in magazines!

As an average gal, print mixing seemed out of my realm of competence!  Since I've been blogging though, I have become more open to trying new things and stepping out of my comfort zone.  I used to worry so much about what other people thought of what I was wearing and as such, didn't have the confidence to try new things or even to embrace my own style.  That's why I love blogging (& my blog buddies) so much, as even if I have an outfit fail, I can always try again in the next post! 


The outfit:
Top: Sussan
Pants: Rockmans
Shoes: Rivers


Earrings
Mombasa Rose

Ring & Bangle: Lovisa
Bag: GUESS

    Yay! I'm so glad you're taking your first steps into pattern mixing! And you've done well! Love the spotty top. Aw, and those kitty earrings! I wonder what Amber thinks of them? xxx

      Thanks so much, Ann! Amber thought the earrings were cute, but she would've preferred ginger cats! ;) XXX

    Good on you for trying something different from what you usually wear. It's all fun and really should just be about what makes you feel happy and also feels comfortable. On those remarks, Amber certainly seems to be always happy and comfortable wearing the same coat!!!

    I love the print mixing! blogging has definitely encouraged me to try more too! I smiled when I saw your top as I was excited we had the same one - but mine is from Jeanswest, not Susan! How funny, they look identical!

    Hope that you are having a lovely week and you have a good weekend ahead of you :)

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
