I had a little helper/photo bomber today Lol! Miss almost 2 has decided she loves being in photos, she stands next to me while Ben takes the photo and says ‘Cheese!’

We went to the Barossa today and it was lovely, we went to the farmers market, walked around Anguston and Tanunda, and had some lunch. It was just what our family needed! If you are in the Barossa I highly recommend checking out ‘Alabaster’ in Tanunda, it has some amazing clothes, particularly if you are looking for some extra special ankle boots or boyfriend jeans!

Today I wore a navy blue miniskirt over my charcoal opaques, with my chambray shirt and grey cape. A few years ago, before I had Sophie and when my legs were a lot more lovely, this used to be my summer skirt that I would wear with a singlet top. There is no way on earth I would wear so little now, so this had become my winter skirt, that I wear over tights.

If you have a dress or skirt that you once reserved for summer, try layering it up and wear it with some tights so you can wear your wardrobe all year round!

I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to do this post today, or tonight (Thursday) as it really is. You see I have had one of the saddest and emotionally draining weeks, and was consequently slumped in bed, feeling very sorry for myself with makeup smudged all over my face, and puffy eyes from all the tears. My clothes wrinkled from wearing them all day and my hair sticking out at the oddest angles, having not being washed since Sunday.

I was just about to make the decision not to do the post, when my husband came in and reminded me of all that we did have, and how lucky we actually are, and yes this week has been hard, but it will get better.

He then gave me the warmest and most comforting hugs and with each squeeze I felt a little more strength, until I felt strong enough to get up, re do my makeup, straighten my hair and clothes and stand here before you explaining:

1.) How awesome charcoal opaques are, as they go with so much more than black ones will!;

2.) That chambray is so versatile it can definitely be a corporate staple; and

I spoiled myself with these delicious new Nine West leopard print, pointed toe heels with ankle strap, which I have been eyeing off for weeks.

Because the colours in these are so warm, I needed to balance them out with something cool, you too can learn how to balance an outfit in Nat’s (Defined Image) eBook ‘How to Balance Every Outfit’. In this instance I went for my Country Road chambray utility pant.

For a casual meal with friends or a movie, you can’t go past the double denim combo of a chambray shirt, which looks great balanced with a gold necklace!
