Perennial Paisley!

-

Paisley would have to be my favourite pattern of all.  It's teardrop shape is instantly recognisable and this pattern has a long and fascinating history.  Before I started this blog, I didn't really know anything about the history or evolution of fashion, but now I'm keen to know more about what I'm wearing and the history behind it.  I found an interesting article about paisley, that you can read here, if you're interested!

There are many paisley patterns in my wardrobe, adorning tops, skirts, pants and even shoes!  As well as its interesting history, I just think it is such a fun and timeless pattern.  I will never tire of wearing paisley, as it can be styled in so many ways!  I like wearing it in boho inspired ways, but it can be dressed up too! 

I bought this top recently and this was its first wear.  I love the mix of purple shades and on the edge of the sleeves the cuffs feature silver threading.  I love that bit of sparkle!  For the first wear, I chose to pair it with my cropped denim jeans.  I know it'll also look great with a maxi skirt, so that'll be on the agenda for its second wear!

The outfit:
Top: Rockmans
Cropped Jeans: Big W
Shoes: Tie Dye Chocolaticas by Hot Chocolate Design

Ring: Bold Ray Designs
Bracelet: present from Mum
Bag: Guess

Earrings: Tattooed Zombie


Do you have a favourite pattern that you love to wear?  Let me know!  I'd love to hear from you!

    Your top was beautiful and I had no idea Paisley print had other names, or it's history! thanks for linking that article! :) You're right, this top will work just as well with skirts as it does with your denim :)

    Thank you so much for joining the #weekdayWearLinkUp

    Hope that your 2019 is off to a good start and you're having a lovely week :)

    I love a Paisley print! In fact, the dress hanging ready to be worn tomorrow is one featuring Paisley! Your top is gorgeous, and works very well with your cropped denim trousers. The bag you're carrying in fabulous too, what a great colour that is. Oh, and thank your for the link. That's quite a fascinating read! xxx

Hi Blog Friends!  How are you?  I hope you're happy and healthy.  It really is a weird state of limbo at the moment, isn't it?  On the one hand, the schools are open, so life almost feels like things are returning to normal, but on the other hand, my work hasn't re-opened yet due to covid-19 health concerns!  There are some businesses and members of the public that seem to be enacting strict social distancing practices and others seem not to care at all!  It is such a confusing time!  At least during these unstable times, there is always fashion!  Being creative and wearing bright and colourful outfits, adds joy to my day.  It is something that we have control over and something that can bring us comfort in a weary world.   Red has been the colour I've worn quite a lot of recently.  Red symbolizes strength, determination, passion and love.  It is the perfect colour for these times!  Here are two red outfits I've worn very recently.  Hope you love them!💓💓 Outfit 1:

Hi Blog Mates!  I have missed you!  September has been a completely frantic and chaotic month, which unfortunately has meant my blog has had to take a back seat lately.  I apologise for being so behind with my comments on your blogs too!  I asked Amber to do that for me, but she said she was too busy sleeping and being beautiful!😹 Anyway, on to the outfits!  I had planned on spreading out the below outfits across a few different posts, but now that the end of the month has come, I thought I'd put them together into one eclectic mix of colours and styles!   Outfit 1: Top: Kmart Pants: Rockmans Shoes: Rivers Necklace: Millers Mum bought me this gorgeous bangle in the UK last year and a few weeks ago I found earrings that match perfectly at my local Lovisa store!
