Midi skirt and denim shirt

Skirt St Vinnies, vest Rome markets, denim shirt Zara last year, belt Veronika Maine two years ago, bag old (not me), shoes Novo two years ago, plants styled by Cotter and Jewel


I absolutely love the Midi skirt length at the moment and I am also loving the denim shirts either done up to the top (will attempt this look on another post) or tied in the good old eighties way.  I know some of you may  think this is a tricky look and it can be. It has to be done with a heel or wedge and top tucked in or tied as I have.  A belt will help.
This silk skirt is a find from St Vinnies at Artarmon and as much as I love it, it has a lot of fabric around the waist.  So I wore a thick solid belt with it to hide some of the fabric and define my waist. As this is a very feminine look it works well.  
By wearing an interesting vest underneath the denim shirt, I could open the shirt right up to make it look more relaxed and flattering as creates a v-neck. This could also be done with a plain cami. Has to be fitted though.

Well this is my first attempt at using the tripod outside with my new camera. The was the wind blowing but I quite like the wind blown look. So I put all the photos on the post as my hair was going wild.  However it was ballooning the skirt a tad so I took a quick photo of it inside for you to see the look - without wind. 
Thanks for reading
Would love some comments and suggestions on posts ideas

Weekend Love 2

Changed jacket to vest (old that I cut off sleeves)
One of the most common things I get asked by clients is how to do smart casual weekend wear.  We all want to be comfortable on weekends or when we are not working but at the same time feel and look the best we can.  Here is what I am wearing today Sunday.  Popping out and about doing a few bits and pieces and then I am off to work so I will change my jeans to smarter style pants and a wedge (that is very comfortable)

Embellish 2

One of the new season trends that I love is Embellishment and Sparkle! (See Below) As some of you already know I love a bit of glitz and sparkle (perhaps too much sometimes).
A chunky necklace adorning a simple top can change the look time and time again.  A Sparkle in a jacket can just add that zing to a casual outfit. Change skirt to jeans for a smart casual look.

Skirt K-Mart, Top Zara, Necklace Jennifer Kelly, Belt Forever New, Shoes Nine West

As above but shoes are Chinese laundry, clutch Jigsaw, Jacket Zara Cuff op shop
So here is my version of Embellishment.  I had to take my own photo in the mirror.  I know not the best photo on the blogging circuit but I will endeavor to improve.  Thanks for reading xx

As I said I would do my version of the Colour Burst combination I put together on Polyvore. I know it has taken a bit longer than anticipated to get it up on Blog. Also as you can see I am not yet a very good model but it will give you an idea and hopefully as I get more experienced, my posts will look more polished and professional like the stunning blogs I stalk regularly!
Skirt Veronika Maine, top market stall, sleeveless trench Tempt, cuff diva,long pendant  necklace Kookai, short Dotti
To some of you this could be a bit out there with the animal print clash,  So a block colour jacket could look great too.  Below I have added a longer skirt, a sleeveless trench to make the look a bit more conservative and of course I cant help myself and  have experimented with mixing together two of my statement necklaces.  I know not for all but you could do it in your own way.

These are some amazing pieces some affordable and some not so to most. So I will attempt to pull this look off with pieces I have in my wardrobe.  Some of you may think that look is for young girls but I will give it a go.  So stay tuned.  xx
