OOTD Burgundy and blush

So this was today's outfit for Sunday lunch, this was the final outfit, I wore my burgundy circle/skater skirt with my cream lace crop top, paired with my cream thigh high socks and my brown combat boots, then for warmth added my cute blush fluffy cardigan

Here's a view of the outfit without the cardigan which is how I wore it mostly  as it was quite warm today

And then here was the alternative to the blush cardigan but I liked the cardigan better for this outfit...not actually sure how I feel about the outfit with the denim jacket

OOTD All that glitters is actually silver

A little play on the saying 'all that glitters is gold', well in my mind it's actually silver. My outfit today definitely shows the shine

I paired my acid wash denim shirt with my black wet-look/leather look skater skirt with my silver boxy camisole underneath

 I then just added my faux converse to keep the look young and casual and not too worker looking

So here is a better idea of the silver pleated camisole, so the outfit could have been worn like this if I was in the sun more today but i was mainly indoors so I didn't over heat too much

Here's a close up of the details, the silver stud embellishments on my denim shirt and my silver midi rings for some added sparkle

OOTD Konnichiwa

This was today's actual outfit, where I am rocking my kimono...sigh...it's fantastic!

I wore it with my white slouchy crop top and my high waited shorts

Here's an idea of the all over print of the kimono with the tassels

I then wore it with my black ankle boots which I have been wearing a lot recently

Here's just the outfit without the kimono which could stand alone but seeing how the weather is getting colder the kimono was good to keep the chill off

OOTD Outfit ideas for the future

Some recent outfit ideas and planning for the cold weather that is on it's way

Love this first outfit, this fluffy jersey/cardigan is just so comfy and I think it will be really nice and warm in winter

 I paired it with my textured burgundy/oxblood circle/skater skirt for some blush colour accents

Then went with white 2 break from the red and peach tones with this cute embellished zip detail crop top, then threw on my faux JC Litas to keep the look edgy

2nd outfit shows my clear obsession with burgundy right now with this cute pleather skirt which I paired with my grey slouchy tank top

I added a black bandeau underneath for some added coverage and added some black boots

I am so very in love with my new kimono, I love the colour they used against the black, very pale tones of cream, green and pink which makes this kimono with its tassels very versatile. I just paired the kimono with my grey crop 3/4 sleeve tee, high waisted shorts and my cream/beige/nude combat boots to pick up those tones in the kimono

Lastly, here I wore my white base floral bodycon skirt with its blue, pink and green tones and paired it with a slouchy sweat top which matches the blue in the skirt perfectly and brings that colour out, then just added my nude patent pumps so as not to distract from the colours

These outfits are very obviously me preparing for the cold but clinging onto the warmth...

OOTD Boots, Buns and Bows

 Today's outfit was cute casual, just a shopping date with my Momz to the mall kind of outfit. And also something out of the ordinary for me, I had my hair in a bun, I've been meaning to try this hairstyle for a while but usually just love my loose hair too much and go with the "I will do it next time" philosophy, but today I just though screw it and went for it, and might I say I am pleasantly surprised at the fact that I liked my hair up, I think it was quite cute...Okay so enough about that now and onto my outfit...

Today I embraced the clear blue sky and beautiful sun and took full advantage and wore my cheeky denim shorts with my black and white striped slouchy tank top for a laid back look and added my cute pixie/pirate boots to add a bit more edge to the outfit 

This is the back of the tank, I love the yellow zip detail on the back! Also threw on a stud detail bow under my bun for some accessory detail

Because the weather is still on it's way to winter, it does get a little chilly in the evenings so I just added my cobalt blue knit jersey/cardigan for a pop of colour

 I love this jersey because it's so soft and warm and super comfy and can be dressed up or down very easily

OOTDs Playing catchup again

I keep forgetting to take pictures of my outfits...my mind is not all there and things have been so crazy coz I moved recently and have been so busy unpacking, so everything has been quite a mess! And with these 2 outfits I guess I was really feeling the burgundy...but who can blame me

First outfit that I missed which I wore about a week ago...I wore my boxy burgundy tee from H&M with my black Free2Bu circle skirt, grey over the knee socks, crey knit cardigan from Identity and my trusty black combat boots. I wore the shirt tucked into the skirt and pulled out to create a messy look

Second outfit which I wore on Monday (2014-03-17)

Here I wore my black lace dress and burgundy cardigan, both from Mr Price, paired with my brown skinny belt and these gorgeous ankle boots which are so different to any other ankle boots I've seen and can only be dubbed something like "Pixie Boots" OR "Pirate Boots" and what can I say I really love them!

I though this outfit would be better to see if I had it on, for some reason the layout just wasn't doing it justice...So here it is!

OOTD Rainy Days

So today's outfit was a mash up and wasn't well planned as we are moving and most of my clothes have been packed away already and I have left only summer things left...not smart on my part, so I have had to make a rainy day outfit of summer items...which despite the limited options I think it turned out quite cute actually.

So here's the rainy day side of it, wore my black Free2bu circle skirt, grey wolf slouchy tee from CottonOn, cream over the knee socks, hooded pleather jacket, my Plum combat boots and my DIY oxblood/burgundy infinity scarf for some added warmth.

This was the outfit I originally wanted to wear, same outfit just with oxblood/burgundy heeled boots from Mr Price, I didn't go with this option because the bottom of the shoes are smooth and with the rain I didn't wanna end up in a situation where I would likely fall on my ass! LOL. Accident avoidance!

Then for jewels I just went for this silver Hamsa earcuff from Factorie and my silver midi rings from Lovisa
