Bag Inspired Outfits!

-
As you know by now, I absolutely love accessories!  Shoes, jewellery and bags! They are my top three! Nothing makes an outfit more unique and fun to wear than the addition of some quirky and cool accessories!  

When I am having one of those mornings staring into my wardrobe thinking that I have absolutely nothing to wear, I turn to my accessories for inspiration!  The colours, patterns and styles of my fave accessories never fail to provide the necessary inspiration to create new outfits from my exisiting wardrobe.  

Today I thought I'd share some of my recently worn outfits that all have one thing in common.  They were all inspired by fun and colourful bags!  


The Bag: Colette Hayman
This bag is a recent purchase that I bought on sale.  I just had to get it, as I do have a bit of a thing for cherries!  I have a cherry necklace, earrings and shoes, so I was definitely overdue for a cherry bag!  I love this one!  I decided to take direct inspiration from this bag by wearing block colours in red and green.  I also added my cherry necklace and other red and green accessories.  

The outfit:
Top: Sussan
Cardi: Millers
Skirt: Skallyrags
Shoes: Neko Chocolaticas by HCD



The Bag: Colette Hayman
I had a lot of fun creating this outfit around this fabulous, summery bag!  I started with my yellow top and blue denim crops as a base, just like the colours of the bag.  Then I added my colourful kimono, which features colours from the toucans' beaks and feathers.  Then I added more complementary coloured accessories to add the finishing touches!  

The outfit:
Top: Sussan
Kimono: Woven Heart
Denim crops: Avella
Shoes: Rivers



The Bag: Millers
This was also a new buy earlier this summer and I love its zesty and fun print!  Creating this outfit was a no-brainer!  I just paired green and gold together to create a citrus inspired summery outfit! 

 The outfit:
Top: Rockmans
Crochet cardi: Millers
Skirt: Jeanswest
Shoes: Holster



The Bag: thrifted
This bag was thrifted last year and was such a fabulous find!  I love the unique print and the fact that it can be worn over the shoulder or as a clutch.  I hadn't worn this bag in ages and wanted to rectify that, so this outfit was born!  I knew the skirt that Mum bought me in Hawaii would complement it well.  You know how I like to be matching! ;) 

The outfit:
Tank top: Rockmans
Crochet cardi: Millers
Skirt: present from Mum
Shoes: Neko Chocolaticas by HCD

    I'm thinking you are fast becoming the Queen of Accessories. You have given me a good idea of matching your outfit to your bags which I'll try. Flossie xxx

    What a lovely selection of bags, Sasha. I'm having a hard time choosing a favourite. But I love cherries too, and with green being my favourite colour, I'm going for outfit # 1. However, the pattern mixing/matching in your last outfit is pure genius! Have a wonderful week, 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!

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
