We all get it wrong sometimes

It’s hard coming up with a different outfit everyday, especially when half my wardrobe doesn’t fit.

Sometimes I just don’t nail it, case in point today. It looked fine in my wardrobe mirror, but at the end of the day when I saw the pic hubby took, I was left feeling a little underwhelmed. So I undid the shirt from around my waist and got him to take another pic. I think I still prefer it tied, it gives me a waist, what do you think?

Today’s outfit has really reinforced to me how important it is to balance your outfits. My jeans are loose and casual, as is my shirt and top. It helps that I am wearing dressier more feminine shoes and a necklace, but I think to achieve my style aesthetic I really needed to swap the chambray shirt for a more structured crop jacket or blazer or keep the shirt and swap the boyfriends for some skinny’s.

I also really want to rip into these jeans, they just make me feel a bit mumsy!

On the flip side there are some things I love about today’s outfit, orange looks fab with blue, I am rocking a bit of double denim, and I love my new point toe flats with these jeans!

So what are your thoughts on today’s #everydaystyle?

This is going to be a very short post as I am battling some very debilitating gastro at the moment, whilst looking after a two year old, so much fun!

Jo Babic you asked if I ever look daggy, well yes today I most certainly do, which is why here is a picture I prepared earlier, lol, of my outfit I wore yesterday, to have casual Sunday arvo drinks with close friends to celebrate my birthday.

I just went for a simple look of chambray and white punctuated by blonde elements, shoes, belt and necklace.

How lovely was the weather today?

I went for an easy and comfortable combination of denim boyfriend shorts and a shirt.

To stop it looking too masculine, I teamed it with a statement necklace and girly flats.

My legs were not shorts ready, and it was till after I got out the shower, not having shaved my legs, that I decided to wear shorts.

Whenever this happens I use a thick body moisturiser and smear all over my legs and shave them, I then used some Palmers gradual tanner with bronzer to stop my legs from blinding someone (they were that white!)

What did you wear today?

Ahh sorry it’s so late I only just got home from work! I was so excited by what I wore today, I just had to share!

This outfit is pretty simple I’m just mixing prints that share not only the same colours, but also similar patterns.

Because both prints had a significant proportion of white in them, I went for a contrasting black top and black pumps with a detailed toe (swoon).

The best bit, is that the toes of my pumps have a very similar pattern to that of my necklace!

How to wear a masculine plaid shirt

One of my friends asked me how she could wear her red plaid shirt without looking too masculine, so this post is for you Jess!

If you are going to wear something as intrinsically masculine as a plaid shirt, then you need to pair it with really feminine things to balance out all that masculinity!

An easy way to style your plaid shirt, is to wear it like a jacket over a loose flounced top, with necklace, skinny jeans point toe or ballet flats.

Alternatively wear it as a jacket over a dress, or with a skirt. As the dress and skirt are so feminine you can get away with a puffer vest or more masculine shoes.

You can also wear it buttoned up with a short statement necklace over the top. Because the statement necklace is so feminine You can get away with more masculine boyfriend style jeans.

Hope this has helped Jess!

A necklace can be a powerful tool

Do you wear necklaces? I didn’t use to wear them much at all until I learnt how useful they could be!

A necklace can lower or raise a neckline, or in this instance give you a waist and make you look thinner.

If you are wearing a long necklace like this, just make sure it finishes, or its biggest part is located at the top of your rib cage.

I thought to really prove my point, I would show you what I look like with and without the necklaces, don’t I look so much thinner with them on!?

Argh running late, what to wear?

The other day I posted about how to throw an easy work outfit together when you are running late. One of my lovely followers Magda mentioned that when she is faced with this predicament she opts for a dress. So todays outfit is inspired by you Magda.

There is not too much theory behind this outfit except that navy blue, pale pink and a touch of gold look fab together and a plain layering dress (from Coles) gets a new lease on life when paired with a statement necklace and heels!

I just threw on a cape for the walk to and from work.

What’s your easy peasy, running late outfit?
