Black, White & Neon Bright!

-
I'm not big on the neon trend or trends in general, for that matter!  I like to play around with colours and styles, but not because they are on trend, just because it's fun!  There have been a lot of neon bright accessories and items of clothing at stores lately and I have found myself drawn to them simply because I love wearing colourful outfits in recent times, neon or otherwise!

In the first outfit, the skirt and cardi are both new additions to my wardrobe.  I was first drawn to the black and white print of the skirt and the pops of neon running through it.  The cardi was then bought on sale and is a perfect match to the skirt!  

In real life the cardi and pops of colour in the skirt are more like a neon lime colour, but they photograph more neon yellow!  Either way, they are bright in real life and on camera! :)  I was also excited to discover that in my existing wardrobe, I had the perfect bag to match my ensemble.  Yay for more matchy-matchy! ;) 

Outfit 1:
Top: Katies
Cardi: Millers
Skirt: Millers
Shoes: Gino Ventori
Bag: Marikai


Necklace: bought at pop-up shop

These rings were also a new purchase.  I love this range of costume jewellery!  They are all recreations of vintage jewellery from various eras.  So pretty!

COLOUR POP!!

With the same colour formula in mind, outfit 2 was created!  My sleeveless black and white tie dye striped dress is the perfect base.  I have worn it with every coloured cardi of the rainbow, so it was most definitely time to wear it with bright yellow!  This cardi is a new purchase that was heavily discounted.  I love these cardis because I get so many wears out of them for years and years and they add colour to every outfit!  

I decided to stick with the black and yellow theme and added matching accessories to complement the stripes in the dress and the colour yellow.  As I added my Honey shoes to my outfit, I realised I had a bit of a bee vibe happening, but that's fine with me.  You know I love a good theme! ;)  I actually bought a bee ring the other day that will be perfect for this outfit if I wear it again!

Outfit 2:
Dress: Crossroads
Cardi: Millers
Shoes: Honey Chocolaticas by HCD


Ring: Diva
Bangles: Sportsgirl
Bag: Strandbags

Which outfit do you like the best?  Let me know!  I'd love to hear from you!

    Again I can't decide which outfit I like the best. I'm thinking no.1 as I like the necklace in no.1. The cardi is lovely & will match many outfits. Hi to Amber, you cute kitty! Flosdie xxx

    I love yellow - it's such a cheerful colour to wear !I think both outfits are great but you know I love a bit of matchy-matchy too! :)

    Hope you are having a nice start to your week! It's another busy one here!

    Like you, I do not follow trends, especially not colour trends, although I'm always glad when my favourite colours turn out to be on trend and are all over the shops! The last time I wore neon colours was when I was a punk back in the early 80s! I am, however, very much in love with the print of that skirt, and even more so with that fabulous necklace! This is beyond a doubt my favourite of your two outfits! And how fortunate that you had this bag in your wardrobe! Wishing you a lovely 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 Asi...

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 ca...

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 ...
