Orange & Blue & Op-shop Treasures!

-


Orange is such a fun and vibrant colour and has become one of my favourite colours to wear in the last few years.  It's such a happy colour and it is a great colour to wear in summer!  Orange looks great paired with lots of different colours, but orange and blue would have to be one of my all-time favourite colour combinations.

I've had this skirt for many, many years and it is such a bright and fun print.  This top is quite new and is very orange in real life, even though it looks more red in the photos.  I completed the outfit with a mix of orange and blue accessories.  Speaking of accessories, my bag is a recent purchase from a day out op-shopping!  It still had all of its original tags on and was in pristine condition!  It's original price tag showed $49.95 and I got it for $10!  Such a great find!  

The Outfit:
Top: Sussan
Skirt: Rockmans

Earrings: Susan Jane Jewellery

Shoes: Hippie Chocolaticas by Hot Chocolate Design

Ring: Lovisa
Prayer bead bracelet: bought in Japan
Bag: Milleni, bought at op-shop




Another fantastic find at the same op-shop, was this beautiful clutch made from obi kimono fabric.  It is absolutely gorgeous and the quality is fabulous!  When I lived in Japan I saw similar clutches at markets that people had made out of obi fabric and they were really expensive.  Can you believe this one was only $4?  A true treasure.

    Oh I'm loving both the new bag and the clutch you got - great finds! I foudn a maxi skirt in an opshop the other day and I'm very happy, I think the previous owner had it altered as it fit my short self perfectly, no trailing on the ground, haha!

    You look beautiful in orange too.

    Hope that you are having a good week :) I've been loving the cooler nights, hope you are getting some of that breeze we are here in the bayside.

    Orange and blue are definitely a pick-me-up colour combination! I'm already mentally putting together an orange and blue outfit of my own ;-) That's a fabulous bag you found and the clutch is exquisite. And look at Amber's cute little face! Have a lovely weekend, Sasha! 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!

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
