A Girl And Her Wardrobe

Hi Ladies,

I'm conducting training this morning so wanted to keep it simple, professional and nothing too distracting :)

Wrap Dress (Portmans)
Suede Wedges (Rubi)
Accessories in pic 2

Next time I think some color would lift this dress. Maybe red shoes and nude hose??

Thanks for looking. Suggestions for improvement always welcome.

Hi Ladies,

No outfits for a couple of days as I have been in bed with a yucky head cold. Back at work today but still not feeling particularly energetic:(. So black tends to be an easy fall back for me.

Black Shift Dress
Black long Cardigan
Patterned Tights
Boots

Apologies black seems so hard to photograph and there is very little definition to be seen here.

Have a lovely day!

Hi Ladies,

I bought this with part of my May Madness SYC thrifting budget!

It's a knit jacket in what I think you would call lime :). It's in excellent condition (as new) and, (Aussie girls no laughing) it's by Fella Hamilton which is a beautiful label aimed at women my mum's age!!

Now is probably the time to confess to a love of "old lady jackets"!!

I was attracted to the simplicity of the jacket, the color, the shape and the streamline of it.

My intent is to wear it over black and keep it all very simple. I have had a play and #1 and #2 are just my initial ideas for styling.

WDYT? Can I wear this color? Does it work? Do I look like I'm wearing an old lady jacket? Frump factor? I haven't left the house in this yet :)

Really appreciate your opinions

Ps... I love it, but need to know if I have lost my mind:) and if I have you need to tell me!

There is no better place to find inspiration than here on YLF!

Ornella posted a killer outfit yesterday and I loved it and knew straight away I could recreate it:)

It's her outfit #5 :)

My version is more boxy looking but IRL with movement I don't think it really looked so "square".

My version consists of;

Chanel style jacket (thrifted)

Coral blouse (Mix)

New Ponte Skinny leg pants (Target)

Suede Booties

#2 is jacket detail and zipper broach

I think Ornella's outfit is killer so I hope I did her justice.

Thanks for looking and happy Sunday:)

After a disastrous day style wise yesterday, (no photos) where I seemed unable to even co-ordinate two matching socks, I'm hoping today's effort has me back on the straight and narrow:)

Black & Cream tipped long cardigan
(the uneven-ness is the design)
Black short sleeve shift dress
Ponte Leggings
Boots

A bit over dressed for a dietician appointment and grocery shopping, but I felt like dressing up:).

The shift dress is new and I bought it primarily for layering as I found I was often looking in my closet for a plain black knee length dress to work under some of my more statement longer jackets and cardigans, and over leggings.

Thanks for looking:)

Have a lovely weekend

Hi Ladies:)

At the office today so was going for business casual, but I think maybe this is more smart casual?

Black Boyfriend Jacket

Black & white polka dot blouse

Polka Dot Scarf

Cobalt Skinnies

Suede Booties

Red Bag

I think this looked better laid out on the bed last night, but no time to change this morning. I feel it lacks something as it feels a bit "ordinary". I don't wear collared shirts very often and I do tend to question the look on me.

Any suggestions for tweaking here would be great.

I did leave the house feeling reasonably happy tho as DH said he liked the outfit:).

Have a lovely day.

Hi Ladies,

It's a cold day in down town Bendigo (she says gleefully) so layering and color seemed appropriate:). I also have a lot of running around for work today and comfort is important.

Patterned Sleeveless Tunic/Dress (Whisper)
3/4 Sleeve red top (Lilia)
Ponte leggings (Target)
Boots (Corelli - gift from my mum)

Not shown but wearing my purple coat today too.

This is a little different for me in terms of pattern but I do enjoy wearing it.

I had forgotten about these boots. They are lovely quality leather and with the 1inch heel are incredibly comfortable but still give me a little height. And they are warm. I wouldn't have necessarily chosen them myself but I think they work and will possibly be put into high rotation this winter.

WDYT? Is it too much? Styling suggestions, critique, etc all very welcome.

As always, thank you for looking.

Well SYC is here!

It's a non work day and I dropped Master 9 at school at 7.30am to go of on a school excursion, am taking my MIL to a doctors appointment and then some shopping and lunch together:)

I just felt like wearing black today, in particular my boyfriend blazer.

So I'm wearing

Boyfriend Blazer (Target)
Long Sleeve T with beads and sequins (Mix)
Black Skinnies
Suede Booties (Rubi)
Woollen scarf (Katie's)
Cream & Black bag ( Strandbags)

All except the top have been in my closet for a while:). The top is new :)

Thanks for looking. How does this work?
