Bright Tops & Multi-Print Skirts

-
Well, thankfully, my internet is up and running again now!  Yay!  I hate to be without it, especially since discovering the wonderful world of blogging!  

As summer continues on, so does my wearing of bright and bold colours!  I really have embraced wearing colour again this summer and have rarely worn my old default black top with every skirt/pants.  For the most part anyway, black just looks and feels too hot in this weather and frankly, just isn't as fun as wearing bright colours! 

In the first outfit, I paired my multi-print skirt with my hot pink top.  For someone who used to be afraid of wearing colour on top (for fear it drew too much attention to my bust), I sure have had quite a lot of wear out of this hot pink top!  In fact, I'm pretty sure that hot pink is as far from black as possible! As for my fear of drawing attention to my  big bust and stomach, well, even if I wear black they're still big, so why not just enjoy wearing bright colours anyway?  Right?  

This was the first time using my new bag, purchased recently on sale.  I just love the teal colour and it's the first bag in this shade that I've ever owned.  It has a few compartments inside and fits all my stuff in it, so it's a winner in my book!

Outfit 1:
Top: Katies
Skirt: Tasa Jara
Sandals: bought in Hawaii
Necklace: Rockmans


Ring: Lovisa
Bracelet: present from Mum
Bag: Marikai


In the second outfit, I paired another multi-print skirt with a yellow top and blue vest.  I really love yellow and blue together.  It is such a pretty colour combination and one I've only tried since I started blogging!  Yay for getting inspiration from other bloggers from all around the world!  

I chose to accessorise in yellow, with my yellow earrings, shoes and bag.  My fabulous toucan bag has had a lot of use this summer!  It really is the perfect fun and vibrant summery bag!

Outfit 2:
Top: Sussan
Vest: Target
Skirt: Tasa Jara
Sandals: Rivers
Earrings: Rockmans


Cuff: thrifted
Bag: Colette Hayman

Here's a close-up of the fabulous cuff I bought a year ago in January 2018.  It is just so unique and for $4, it was a great deal!




I know it's been ages since I've included any photos of Amber.  Here are some new ones!  Enjoy!

    Wow I really love the bright top in no.1. It's pleasing to know blogging has helped you experiment with different styles & colours. You certainly have lots of wonderful handbags & your new one meets the standard. Also am pleased Amber is okay again after her vacation. Flossie xxc

    Well done for embracing colour this Summer, Sasha! It does look so much better than plain old black, doesn't it? Your first outfit just sparkles, it's so vibrant. Love your new teal bag! I think pink and teal are such a happy marriage of colours. In fact, I wore a pink and teal outfit myself today! Your second outfit is perfect too, especially with the addition of Toucan bag! Good to see Amber again, Phoebe has missed her! xxx

    I love how you embrace colour - definitely keep doing it! I believe we should always wear what we want, no matter the rules! I didn't wear maxi lengths for so long as I believed you 'shouldn't' if you were petite - how silly! I love maxis! :)

    It's so hard to pick a favourite outfit too! I love blue and yellow and blue and pink and you wear both colour combos so well! :)

    Hope that you are having a wonderful weekend :) With the summer heatwave continuing, today will be a quiet day in the aircon I think! Too humid for the park!

      Thanks so much, Mica! That's so true about some fashion rules: they definitely need to be broken! You look great in maxi skirts and dresses! ;) XXX

    Yes I have been trying to wear more color myself and most specially during FW. Darker colors and black do not photographer well. This is a fun top and skirt for sure! Love the color.

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! Outfit 1: Top: H&M Crochet cardi: Mil

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
