Styling an Orange Paisley Kimono

-

I've had this kimono for a few years now and it is such a vibrant and fun piece to wear.  It's also so versatile and can be worn over a dress, with a tee and jeans or paired with a skirt.  It's also perfect for days when you're not sure what to wear: throw on a tee and a pair of jeans and then add the kimono for an instant dash of colour and fun!  It comes as no surprise then when I tell you that my fave way to wear this kimono is with jeans and a tee!  I like having a fairly neutral base so then I can add lots of colourful accessories!  


The Outfit:
Top: Sussan
Kimono: Boohoo
Jeans: Suzanne Grae
Shoes: Rivers

Necklace: Rockmans

Earrings: Lovisa

Ring: Rockmans
Bag: thrifted

How funny is this bag I recently thrifted!  As soon as I saw it I laughed so much because cat hair on my clothes is a daily occurrence for me!  No matter how often I vacuum the house and brush Amber, there always manages to be cat hair on my clothes!  

Actually, a funny thing happened the other day when I was dropping my son at school.  One of the other mums who I've seen around before but never spoken to approached me.  Out of the blue she asked:

 "Do you have a cat?"  
"Yes", I replied, wondering where on earth this conversation was heading...
She said "I thought so!  Your clothes are always covered in cat hair!"
"Oh!" I said, with surprise.
"You should really buy a lint roller to get the hair off!" she suggested.
"Oh! Err, um, thanks?" I mumbled.

Then she was gone!  I stood there bewildered wondering what the hell had just happened!!  Who goes up to someone they don't even know and criticises them?  Such a strange encounter!  I had a good laugh later, but at the time I was not amused! I will definitely be steering clear of that woman in the future! Actually, I should take this thrifted bag to school everyday and proudly display to her, and the world that indeed:

No outfit is complete without cat hair!

    I love the cat hair story. Obviously the person has never experienced the pleasure of owning a cat. What a cute bag. I'd like one the same as my cat leaves her hair on my clothes, especially on black tops. I'm getting a bit side tracked, as I think your kimono is gorgeous.Flossie xxx

    That orange kimono is gorgeous, Sasha, I like it especially worn with turquoise top. And how fun is that bag? I think I need one too, as it's a universal truth: indeed no outfit is complete without cat hair! I was completely gobsmacked when I read your cat hair story, and I'm glad you can laugh about it now. But what a horrible thing to do. I'd steer well clear of that woman indeed! xxx P.S. inspired by you, I've just thrifted my first kimono last Saturday!

    I would definitely be wearing that bag on the school run until she sees it, haha! :)

    I love that colourful kimono - you know I am a big fan of kimonos! - and I like the bright blue and orange combo, although you wear it well in every outfit here!

    Hope your week is going well :) Back to feeling like winter after our summer-like heatwave last week!

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
