What I Wore Wednesday

I know today is Friday, but with school holidays, surely I have an excuse for running late!! Plus, this is two weeks worth of pics, since I was manically busy in the last week of school and forgot to post.

Wednesday: Today was the absolutely quintessential spring day! It was sunny and warm, but not too warm. My perfect kind of day, and this was a perfect outfit.

Camel merino sweater: Sportscraft

Skinny bootleg jeans: Gap

Horn cuff: Mai Tai Collection

Giraffe print flats: Lands End

Thursday: Today was another beautiful day, but was unexpectedly much, much cooler, so I spent most of the day freezing my behind off!! These jeans are new from Gap, and I am in love – the skinny bootcut is so flattering, and the denim is really nice. I also have them in fuchsia and lemon, but I hope they bring them out in another rinse – that is how much I love them!

Chiffon print blouse: Old Navy

Skinny bootcut jeans: Gap

Green plastic bangle: Myer

Red retro flats: Naturaliser

Wooden bead necklace: upcycled piece by me

Friday: After the lovely spring days of the past week, today was back to full on winter, with a massive storm. I went to a school mum’s luncheon at the country club, and was amazed to see people playing golf in this weather. I am not understating things when I say it was raining cats and dogs!

Fuchsia merino sweater: Sportscraft

Black ponte pants:Lands End

Leopard print heels: Lands End

Pearl, amethyst and amber necklace: Linneys

Sunday: Back to a warm and sunny, and with an invitation to the opening of the new gastropub at the relaunched Crown Casino. I truly hate events like this – no dress code is given, and really, unlike the men who can get away with a shirt, jacket and jeans, it is so much more complicated for women. Most seemed dressed in variations of what I was wearing – top, skinny jeans and heels, but there were some in cocktail dresses, and some even more casual that me.

Navy and white peplum blouse: Ruche

Skinny jeans: Ann Taylor

Red skinny belt: Talbots

Gold medallion necklace: Linneys

Leopard print heels: Lands End

Wednesday: Back to cold and wet again. I hate weather like this – I really wish it would make up its mind and stay cold or stay hot. This back and forth drives me nuts! This outfit was inspired by one of my pins on Pinterest; I loved the idea of a pop of colour against the navy.

Navy wool sweater: J Crew

Skinny jeans: Ann Taylor

Horn cuff: Mai Tai Collection

Orange patent tote: Kate Spade
Orange jersey scarf: JannysGirl @ Etsy

Navy ballet flats: Lands End

Friday: If you are curvy and/or busty, then you would know that wearing a shirt under a sweater can look really bulky, and make you look larger than you really are. I love the look of a crisp collar peaking our from a sweater, which is why I am in love with SkinnyShirts. I wrote a review about a year ago and I am still impressed with mine!

Snow leopard skinny shirt: Skinny Shirt

Purple short sleeved sweater: Boden
Skinny bootcut jeans: Gap

Black leather tote: Kate Spade
Silver leaf earrings: Verite

Black leather heels: Ferragamo

Sunday: Today was beautiful and sunny and we spent it at the annual Royal Show (like a State Fair) and had an absolute blast. The kids loved all the animals, the fireworks were great, and there was just so much to see and do. Today I still wanted to look nice, but it needed to be practical as well. There was lots of walking, it was hot, and this outfit held up well. The bag was a great choice, too. This is an old nappy (diaper) bag which I haven’t used for a long time, but it is super practical with lots of pockets and a long cross body strap, which none of my other bags have. Now that I’ve rediscovered it, I think you’ll be seeing it a lot more.

Blue print jersey dress: Lands End

Assorted bangles: Trina Turk, J Crew & Myer
White leather nappy bag: Storksak

Silver leaf earrings: Verite

Blue flats: Naturaliser

See you all next week!!
