Work Outfit Challenge - Day 121.

Good morning passengers, this is your captain speaking. Feeling very pilot or navy cap'n like today wearing this Sportsgirl jacket I picked up last night. Both Sportsgirl and Dotti currently have an extra 50% off sale items and this jacket came down to $50 from an original $170. I did try on a couple of items in Dotti but was pretty unimpressed with the quality of the items. I don't know how they justify trying to charge $79.95 for an item of cheap polyester clothing. Even at $30 for the two items I tried on, the price did not equal the quality of the garment. The pants actually weren't too bad ... I just was not sure how to style them. Maybe a white singlet and wedges in spring ... how would you style them in winter?

Have you got your free crappy portrait yet? Inspired by bloggers Green Tea and Cupcakes and  Christie at while life passes by's portraits I decided to get one done of the boy and I. He's probably going to hate me because along with the picture I submitted I let them know that I like thrifting and going to the gym, and he likes golf and spends too much time on the toilet. The drawer Sarah pretty much hit the nail on the head. I love it.

Go get one yourself!

Looking forward to a board games night tonight. Some of those games should get very interesting once I've had a bottle of wine or two :)

Over and Out

XOXO

I love that coat! I agree about Dotti the amount they want for the not so good quality clothes is ridiculous.

I love that coat, it looks great on you!

I'd probably wear the pants with a plain white tee and sandals, I love the colour! xx

I'm loving the military jacket with the leopard print, grr, fierce!
I'm not familiar with that brand but I do love the colour of those trousers.
I think they'd work brilliantly with the jacket your wearing as I adore navy and coral together. x
