WIW : Floral Jacket

Hi Ladies

Trust you are having a wonderful day:)

Insanely busy day at work and this is the first quiet moment today, so sitting waiting to go into a meeting and thought I would quickly post;). Gotta grab the time when you can!

Inspired by Shannon, http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-of-animal I grabbed my slouchy pants today. I am still getting used to the silhouette created by these. They seem to accentuate the hip area and I'm still working out the best option for toppers.

Today I'm trying a silver grey blouse tucked, with my new floral blazer and shooties.

Pretty simple look, accessorised with silver ring and silver and pearl multi strand necklace.

Appreciate your feedback. I'm only about
50 % confident on how to wear these pants.

WIW : Black, Red & Polka Dots

Good morning beautiful ladies:)

It's my day off and Master 9 is at school, DH is busy working on a project, and I'm at the hairdressers for a slightly overdue cut and colour. A few hours of peace and quiet and pampering *happy sigh* and chatting about fashion with my stylist :)

I have been on a bit of a black fest recently so here's some red just for Angie:)

Black Skinnies
Black Sleeveless Blouse
Black jacket with red dots
Black Patent Sling Backs
Red and black animal print scarf
& Hand made necklace by me:)
Trying out a daytime clutch!

Pretty casual and comfort is my main priority today.

Does this work? Is the jacket long enough to wear like this?

I always appreciate you taking the time to look and share your thoughts.

WIW: Black & White ... Ladylike!

Hi Ladies,

Start of a new week and a busy day in the office - my colleague was attacked by bees when she disturbed their hive yesterday and she is recuperating at home! I have seen her and she's ok.

I felt "ladylike" to day so...
I'm wearing an old black skirt, polka dot pussy bow blouse, leather blazer, black and cream slim belt, black pumps with white trim. For a weenie bit of color (which I realise you can't see) my silver bird necklace with red drop.

Thanks for looking and you comments and suggestions for improvement always much valued.

Happy Monday!

WIW: Saturday & Out Takes:)

Hi lovely Ladies,

Grocery shopping, errands and lunch with my boys today. Warm day so tried out this abstract print dress (first wear) with my bone, white and black wedge sandals and collarless denim jacket.

I felt really comfortable in this, but looking at the photo wonder if it's not a bit frumpy looking.

Your honest feedback much appreciated.

And pics 2 and 3 are to demonstrate just how "challenging" it can be trying to get outfit photos in my house:). It seems I live with two comedians! (DH & DS) Anyone else have family members hijacking your pics??

Thanks for looking and hope you are all having a lovely weekend.

WIW : Crazy Morning!

Hi Ladies

I cannot believe how much happened this morning before 9.30am :). End result was me running late for bible study and having about 5 mins to choose an outfit, get dressed and go:(. (I love taking my time to get ready in the mornings)

I was pouring over photos of Kate Lanphear (Style Director Elle USA) last night which I think may have influenced me reaching for black and grey this morning. Hoping I have added a little edge today.

Black Sleeveless dress
- would normally opt for a pencil shape skirt but wanted a change and something a little more "fluid"

Black and grey sleeveless tunic (over dress)

Waterfall jacket

Sandal booties

Silver accessories

Didn't make picture but carrying large red croc print clutch:)

Does this combo work. Suggestions and thoughts much appreciated.

WIW: Cobalt and Stripes

Hi Ladies,

Finally debuting my new striped jacket. I fell in love with this jacket and was very excited to see how good Lyn D looks in hers:)

http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ails-by-dd

Given this jacket falls at the widest part of my hip, I have been a little challenged with getting the right bottom layer and I'm hoping I have the proportions ok here.

I have discovered this cut of jacket seems to work best on me with skirts or straight leg pants.

I do think a slightly fitted jacket with nipped in waist is the best look for me bit it's nice to have the option of a different silhouette.

Thanks for looking and your thoughts and suggestions much appreciated.

WIW: Sleeveless Trench & Snow Leopard

Hi Ladies,

Do you find you enjoy a garment, wear it frequently, rest it for a while and then start again with it? I do. And my sleeveless trench is experiencing the love at the moment.

I am wearing it again today over skinny black jeans, zebra blouse and newish snow leopard flats. I bought the flats in July with birthday money but the winter weather wasn't ideal for them so they have been patiently waiting for Spring to make their debut.

I wore this to see my MIL and have lunch with DH but have now changed into boots and a knit cardigan to combat the sudden change in our weather today :(

Thanks for looking, and your comments, suggestions etc, much appreciated.

WIW: Clothe Me in Cobalt

I have been doing a little shopping to update my Spring/Summer wardrobe and bought this cobalt tunic last week.

This is it's first outing over black skinnies, black and grey animal print wedges and topped with black waterfall jacket.

Still considering other styling options, including wearing over a pencil skirt and open over a same length sleeveless jersey dress, and over my white jeans:). Thinking this could be in high rotation in my wardrobe.

Love to know your thoughts.. Neckline is higher than I normally wear and the color is quite bold. I don't feel i have nailed the styling of this yet.

Thanks for looking.

WIW: Keeping It Neutral

Happy Friday! (in my part of the world anyway) :)

Off to my women's bible study group followed by some bra shopping;)

I actually didn't feel like color today and wanted to keep it simple and relatively streamlined.

Black booties
Straight leg jeans
Polka dot blouse
Belted Sleeveless trench
Grey toned scarf

Have a lovely day and as always your suggestions and thoughts are really appreciated.
