Denim Discovery!

-
Isn't it funny how some of the most basic wardrobe staples can be the hardest to find?  I had been looking for a particular style of denim skirt for ages and had tried lots of local shops, not-so-local shops, op-shops and online, to no avail! Last week I went to another op-shop and began browsing.  I searched high, I searched low and then suddenly like a mirage, there it was: a denim skirt in my size!  Woo hoo!  The cherry on top was that it was only $7!  Double woo hoo!

With my denim desire satiated, I proceeded to investigate the multitude of necklaces.  I sure have honed my op-shop skills recently, as I was able to see past the many other shiny and sparkly necklaces to find the two that I wanted!  The first was the fun beads that remind me of lady bugs, worn in outfit 1.  The second was the turquoise and silver one, worn in outfit 2.

Outfit 1:
Top: Harris Scarfe
Cardi: Millers
Skirt: thrifted


I like the embroidery around the pockets on both sides.


Necklace: thrifted

Ring: Diva
Bag: Handbag Republic
Shoes: Hippie Chocolaticas by HCD
Do you like the matching smiley faces on my bag and shoes?  You know how much I love a bit of fun matchy-matchy! ;)

Outfit 2:
Top: Rockmans
Kimono: Best and Less
Skirt: thrifted

Necklace: thrifted

Ring: Lovisa
Bangle: present from Mum
Bag: Guess

    Well done on finding the denim skirt of your dreams in an op-shop! It's gorgeous and a great shape on you, and I especially love the embroidery on the pockets. I love both of your new-to-you necklaces too, my favourite being the "ladybird" one. I've got a hard time choosing between your two outfits, as they both appeal to me, but I'm going to go for the second one with the purples. That kimono really is a stunning piece! xxx

    It's the best feeling when you finally track down something you wanted in an opshop! this skirt is so pretty and such a bargain too, what a great find! I love both ways you've worn it (and you know I like a bit of matchy-matchy too!)

    Hope your week is going well! :) I've so been enjoying our cooler weather!

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
