Monochromatic Monday!

-

I had planned to publish this post yesterday, but unfortunately due to a mini-crisis, I was unable to.  The mini-crisis was that when I tried to turn my mobile phone on yesterday, it wouldn't turn on.  I tried everything and it just wouldn't turn on!  I was in such a panic and worried I had lost all of my contacts, photos and downloads.  I ended up having to buy a new phone.  I was lucky enough to be able to restore my contacts and photos, but haven't yet been able to restore my previous texts, downloads and some other things.  

It's amazing how these unexpected technology mini-crises can throw you for a loop!  I guess my first concern was not being contactable via phone by my husband and son's school.  Then my second concern was the loss of my photos. Plus, I do all of my blogging on my phone!  I take my blog photos on my phone and write these posts on my phone!  That's why replacing my phone was such a priority, because blogging is so important to me!  It's the only fun thing I do that's just for me! Anyway, even though I still haven't been able to retrieve everything, at least I know I am reachable and can do my blog!  You just don't realise how much you rely on these devices, until you can't use them!  

Now, to the fun part: the outfit!  I felt like wearing blue and couldn't decide which shade of blue, so I thought I'd go with a bit of everything and create a monochromatic outfit!  It had been ages since I had worn this skirt.  I really love it's unique style and mix of patterns and prints.  This was also my first wear of my new beaded necklace.  I bought the same necklace in pink recently, which I wore here.

The outfit:
Top: Sussan
Skirt: Tasa Jara


Necklace: Millers

Ring: Lovisa
Bracelet: present from Mum 
Bag: GUESS

Shoes: Instep


Last week I was lucky enough to meet up with my blogging friend, Mica.  Mica's blog was one of the first blogs I discovered when I started blogging last year.  I love following her blog, so it was so much fun to meet up with her!  She is so lovely and we chatted so comfortably that I felt like we were old friends!  You can check out Mica's blog at:  https://awayfromtheblue.blogspot.com

    What a scarey thing with your phone not working. We don't realise how much we depend on our phones. How lovely it would have been catching up with a fellow blogger. I like your outfit being different shades of blue. Flossie xx

    Oh no! That's so not fun when technology stops working how its supposed to. I hope you're able to recover all of it and you can keep blogging! The necklace is such a fun pretty color of green!

    Thanks so much for the shoutout! It was really fun catching up with you and we should definitely do it again in the school holidays! :) I loved the outfit you wore, and I really like your monochrome outfit too.

    How terrible your phone just broke like that! I am glad you could get a replacement one and you didn't lose too much. I'm considering a new phone for Christmas, but not sure, as I like the way everything works on this one (except the battery!) I wish they still made phones with the removable batteries so you could just keep reusing them!

      Thanks so much, Mica! It was so great meeting you and I agree that we should definitely do it again in the school holidays! ;)

      It has been a real pain with my phone! I still haven't found anyone who can fix it! I'm not too keen on the new one and the camera doesn't seem as good as the other one. Oh well! Hope you're having a great week. XXX

    I hate it when technology lets me down. We are so dependent on it, aren't we? I would be quite heart-broken if I lost any of my photos, and perish the thought that I couldn't blog! I did a back-up of all my photos recently, which has given me some peace of mind. As for your outfit, I love the meeting of all those blues. And how lovely to be able to meet up with a fellow blogger! xxx

      Thanks so much, Ann! I took some photos on my new phone today for the blog, but they don't seem as good as my last phone, but it will have to do! It was so lovely to meet a fellow blogger. Hopefully we can catch up one day, Ann! Hope you're having a great week. XXX

    Glad to hear you got back up and running with a new phone...isn't it alarming when something like that happens?! Lovely outfit, the different shades of blue look great. Very pretty jewellery too. Such a gorgeous cat :-) Thanks for linking up!

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
