WIW : To Church

Happy Sunday Ladies.

Our weather is so weird!  Late November and it's too cool for open toe footwear?!?!?

Anyway, Church this morning and by the time I was heading home, I almost needed a jacket.  The faux leather top is new. I picked it up for a song yesterday and I was keen to see how I might make it work.

The pants are French Connection and were brought to my attention by Caro in Oz at the beginning of the year. (Thank you Caro :) )  They are a dropped crotch pant and haven't had a lot of wear yet as I do find it challenging to get the outfit proportions right. The right footwear and top seem crucial for getting it right.  I think the silhouette here works and creating more of an hour glass seems good with the pants.  Not sure if photo clear, but I am wearing a leather Obi belt.

Top : Knot & Crop
Pants : French Connection
Pumps : Wittner
Belt : Can't recall

I also carried the clutch below in my finds but forgot to get a pic:)

What do you think?  I find leather/faux leather can be tricky to photograph and can also add to one's frame - photos can give it a rubbery look (so not what I am going for lol) so I am hoping this is ok.

Thanks for looking.

WIW : White & Hi Low

Hi Ladies,

I am noticing a lot of longer skirts this summer.  I have seen hi low, asymmetric and regular hemlines.  I wasn't planning on adding any more skirts to my summer wardrobe but .... you know how it is, if it's interesting and different to what I have it's worth considering right?

So for work today:

Black Chiffon Shirt
Ripple Moon Skirt
Betty Belt
Open Toe Booties

What do you think?  I am thinking this is something I might wear a lot over the warm months.  Easy to dress up or down.

Thanks for looking.

WIW : New Lace Jacket :)

Hi Ladies,

A new addition to my wardrobe for the warmer months.

My 5 Piece French Wardrobe has gone out the window with my new job lol. But I am trying to be wise in my purchases and make sure they work for my overall lifestyle and not just working the 'shop floor' :)

This jacket surprised me.  It's  not what  would normally try on.  But once I did I wanted it.  I have worn it to my office job with skinny black pants and a longer tunic, but today I wore it with my Paris Pants a jersey cami and belt.

I am not generally a lace girl, but I find the thicker, heavier lace incredibly beautiful.

Thanks for looking:) Your critque, comments all very appreciated.

Styling a new dress.

Hi Ladies,

Motto is hitting out of the ball park for me at the moment:)  I saw this dress on our designer some weeks back and have been anxiously awaiting it's arrival.  Of course I snapped it up the morning it came in lol.

I have worn it once already but decided to play with some styling options today while at home with my recuperating Master 12.

The dress can be comfortably worn back to front, hence the differing neckline :)

What do you think?

WIW : For A Procedure!

It was my young master having the procedure. Poor Master 12 had to have a wedge resection today. He was so brave. The needles into the big toe were the most painful part and he had to have a few:(

As a result I'm at home today and probably tomorrow so needed an outfit that looks put together but is comfy and easy to move around in.

Tunic : Valley Girl
Cami : Underneath not seen Motto
Pants : Lauren Cropped Pant Motto
Sandals : Myer, Miss Shop

Thanks for looking.

WIW : To Church

Hi Ladies,

A little bit of colour today for church.

We spent time in prayer for Paris and the French nation this morning. The shocking events of yesterday have sent me to my introspective world and I don't have many words today.

Skirted Leggings : Motto
Betty Belt : Motto
Blood Red Marlini Top : Metalicus
Boots : Rubi

A Dress for Brooklyn

I have been awaiting this dress in black but when I saw this striped version I thought of Brooklyn!  I could be completely way off but think she would look amazing in this:)

It drapes to one side and can be worn backwards:)

WIW : A HEWI

Hi Ladies,

Over the last 6 months I have successfully acquired two HEWI's, one being these white pants and the other my Motto coated jersey jacket.

Today for church and some errands I wore my latest HEWI, my white pants.

Pants : Valley Girl (!)
Cami : Motto
Draped Top : Metalicus
Betty Belt : Motto
Sandals : Rivers

I have shared before just how hard and how long I searched for white pants.  Buying a few pairs before finally finding 'the' pair. Upon arriving at church this morning a girlfriend commented how great I looked in white pants!  Thus confirming (I hope) that it's worth waiting for your perfect item.

I normally wear these full length but rolled to day to show off the girly shoe;)

I was wondering how everyone else's HEWI searches are going?

WIW : My New Favourite Pants

Hi Ladies,

Fell hard for these and I'm wearing them for the first time tonight out for dinner.

Jersey Paris Pants - Motto
Draped Top - Katie's
Sandals - Kmart

These pants now have pride of place hanging next to my skirted leggings as one of my two favourite bottoms :) They are insanely comfortable and surprisingly flattering (I think). I was expecting them to fall into the JFE category.

Thanks for looking. What do you think? More than JFE?

Happy weekend

WIW : Colour & Pattern 2.0

Hi Ladies,

Was a member of a panel at a community meeting today and I just didn't feel like conforming and a wearing a suit (like the other panelists did) so wore my new Motto dress.

I have worn this to my Motto job, but not my office job before and I received some lovely compliments:)  I think the pairing with pants as opposed to leggings might cause some divided opinions, but that's ok, I am all ears:)

Would this dress be classified as a 'wild card' for me ?

Jersey Boheme Dress - Motto
Black Pants - Katies
Shoes - Rubi

At Motto I wore the dress with black cropped leggings and a platform wedge sandal, but for today I wanted height and I feel the dress is just a tad short at the front for bare legs at work.  The designer actually styles this dress with black pants that are similar to mine.  I think my next wearing will be  with my slim white pants??

Thanks for looking:)
