Wearing Umber with Amber!

-

I seem to be gravitating towards autumnal colours recently, even though it is spring here in Australia!  Red, yellow, purple, orange and now brown!  I haven't worn this skirt in ages, but I do really like its quirky print.  The umber/sienna colour acts as like a cave wall background, with the white drawings and shapes looking like ancient paintings. 

I never used to wear orange or brown or any variations of either colour and now I really like both!  I like the brightness of orange and the earthiness of brown.  In fact, these days there really isn't a colour I wouldn't wear!

Since I started blogging last year and following other blogs, I have developed an appreciation of wearing different colours, styles and prints.  It really is so inspiring seeing how other non-famous, non-celebrity people dress!  I am much more inspired by women of all different ages, sizes and shapes showing off their personal style, than any celebrity!  Thanks for the inspiration!

    It seems from what you say that you've become more adventurous with the colours you are wearing since you started blogging and that is great. I like the colours you've chosen in this outfit and I'm pleased also to see Amber is back home.Flossie xxx

    That's a beautiful printed skirt and such a nice colour! I'm glad you've found that inspiration through blogs _ i really feel that way too! Although I think my love for autumn colours in spring is due to all the 'fall fashion' posts from bloggers in america experiencing autumn right now, haha!

    I still have to email you back sorry! I'm trying to figure out a good date next week to see if you are free, life is a little hectic at the moment!

    Hope that you are having a nice start to your week :)

    Isn't blogging fantastic? I too have learned a thing or two from other bloggers. Who cares about what celebrities wear anyway? It's real life fashion worn by real life girls in all shapes and sizes that we are after! Love the umber skirt and your fabulous necklace. And it's good to see Amber's back from Paris ;-) 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 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
