A Girl And Her Wardrobe

Hi Ladies:)

Worn to church this morning.

Black Ponte Skirt

Black Top w White Dots

Black & White Striped Jacket

Sheer Black Hose

Black Boots & Bag

This is the first outing for the striped jacket. I bought it months ago but it's taken a bit for me to get used to the look. I found putting block white or black under the jacket wasn't exciting for me, so I bought the spotted top specifically with this jacket in mind. I don't find the top overly flattering alone but I did purchase it as a layering piece. It's actually tunic length but I kind of scrunched it up:)

How does it all work? Your feedback is much appreciated.

Hope you are all having a lovely weekend.

Hi All,

I think Winter might be getting to me! It was sunny this morning and I thought ah Spring is on its way, but no, it was dull and overcast by the time I left the house :(

Life and work are busy at the moment so I haven't had time to photograph any new outfits but managed to get this morning's outfit for church.

I have to confess to not giving it much thought (I slept in:).

Straight leg jeans
Ink blue blouse
Black and White Abstract Jacket
Suede Black Wedges
Green Flower Bag ... just for fun:)

Thanks for looking and I hope you are having a great weekend.

Hi Ladies,

Spent some time yesterday hemming a couple of pairs of jeans and I am hoping I got the length right.

I wore them here

and they were clearly to long!

So here's today's outfit.

Newly hemmed straight leg jeans
Satin blouse with ruffle detail
Chanel-esque jacket
Suede wedge heels

I did study Angie's posts on ppl so hoping I did ok:)

Hope you are all having a great day

Hi All

This is what I'm wearing today:)

New straight leg stretch jeans. These are high waisted and are great for holding in my flabby tummy:)

Grey draped cross over top with white cami underneath. What do you think? I have made sure I have the slim pants underneath to counteract the volume of the top.

I have tried to bookend the black booties with the touch of black in my pendant.

I'm hoping this works because I bought this top in black too.

Thanks so much for looking

Hi Ladies,

I loved Phoebe's soft leather skirt and bootie ensemble and it inspired me to get my leather skirt out.

The photos really highlight my tummy but in the mirror it looked fine ??? Thats my story anyway *wink*. The long jacket minimises the attention on the tummy/hips and I will be keeping the jacket on in the office.

I wear this blouse a lot but today is the first time I have worn it to work.

There is a chance there is too much going on here but I liked the end result. Quite a few varying textures.

Black Leather Pencil Skirt
Navy spotted blouse
Long line black "puckered" / boucle look jacket (I like cos it has a bit of a Chanel vibe)
Opaque hide with dots
Booties with suede and detail trim.

Does it work?

Taking photos was a challenge this morning as Master 9 and DH think the funniest thing is to stick there arms into the frame and run across in front of the camera ... boys lol.

Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Good Morning All!

We this is my attempt at Angie's formula:)

My sweater is much brighter IRL and is I think longer and boxier than Angie's purple one. The trousers are a knit so not totally structured.

Dressed to take MIL shopping for something to wear to the family wedding in August.

What do you think? I usually wear a heel when I wear this sweater. My oxfords only have a 1 inch heel.

As always thanks so much for looking.

Edit: Added #4 in response to Marley's suggestion re scarf and #5 is how I wore the sweater last time:)

Hi Ladies,

Nothing super exciting but I wore this yesterday to a friends home where I spent the afternoon going through and organizing her wardrobe.

We bagged up a lot of things to be donated and she was left with a closet with only wearable items all organized and easy to access. It was heaps of fun and I found myself sharing so many things I have learnt here at YLF.

My friend is a SAH mum and her wardrobe is made up entirely of thrifted clothing. Just goes to show what is possible:)

We were so busy I forgot to take photos but she now has some fab new combinations to wear and learnt how to modernize some older pieces... so much fun:). She even tried some subtle pattern mixing for the very first time!!

Thanks for Letting me share and thanks for looking.

Hi Ladies,

Busy day at work today, and feeling a little more inspired than yesterday:). I love the comfort of waist surrendering outfits so today was a good day to bring out this new oversized hi low blouse.

Wearing Ponte Black Pencil Skirt
Striped blouse with black sleeves
Suede Boots
Boyfriend Jacket
Hand Made Pendant

Thanks for looking.

Have a lovely day:)

Hi Ladies,

Started the morning trying to put together an outfit based on Angie's boyfriend jeans post last night...but it just didn't work so I layered an symmetrical top over a patterned tunic. I was feeling a bit bored with the tunic and wanted to mix up the look a bit.

Does it work?

Thanks for looking. Hope you have a lovely weekend.

Hi Girls,

End of Term today and Master 9 came home with a very good term report. So we thought that was a good reason to go and have dinner at one of our favourite local eateries:)

It's is icy cold here tonight so my main priority was warmth, so I wore a black sweater dress with a long sleeve striped top layered underneath, opaque tights, boots and then a coat and wool scarf to get there and back!

This dress tends to accentuate my apple tummy, but it's comfortable and warm (did I mention it's cold here) :).

Thought I would share one of my "out takes" - #2 - Master 9 loves sabotaging my pics!
Any saboteurs in your home?

Thanks for looking and enjoy your weekend.
