Work Outfit Challenge - Day 74 and I'm feeling naked

Don't stress friends ... I didn't wear my birthday suit to work today. I wouldn't want to scare anyone with that sight, or thought for that matter. I did however forget to put earrings in and now feel SO naked and unattractive. I know that may seem a bit silly but I really miss them when I don't wear them. The vintage ankle boots I'm wearing were snapped up on Saturday while treasure hunting with my twinnie and they are so awesome. Vintage, Italian leather = super soft and the PERFECT size. You can't ask for much more for $2.00!

These photos were taken on my iphone and I look like a spaz - actually maybe more a bit like an alien. My head looks small or something. I REALLY need to pay more attention to my hair instead of pulling it back and forming it into some sort of messy birds nest.  At the moment though with the chilly mornings raising their ugly head, staying in bed for 20 minutes longer is more way more pleasurable than nice hair - I'll get vain one day soon.

Oh, and now for the most exciting news of the week. Here is my boat which will be used as a quasi-esky at the wedding. It is so perfect in every way! All for the cost of 2 cartons of XXXX Gold!

Vintage Boots & Style Stalking

I don't know how long ago I got these vintage boots but I'm guessing I picked them up at a local op intending to list them on
eBay but after style stalking fellow bloggers like
Kani I wonder if I'd be able to pull them off ... maybe with maroon coloured tights. Do you ever get
envious of other people's style and wish you could pull off something that they are wearing cos they look 'rockin in it?

Yes, I get jealous and I'm
happy to admit it.


I don't really have one particular style. A co-worker actually told me that a group of them had discussed me at a farewell lunch they recently attended. My style ranges from casual to
corporate, boho to rock, sassy to vintage, sporty to surfy and anything and everything in between.

I do like good quality clothes though and you'd be amazed at what you can pick up at charity stores. Some great finds can be found in Toowoomba and some of the better labels that can be found quite frequently are Cue, R.M. Williams and various brands sold at Myer.


I got this preppy R.M. Williams pale pink shirt from my local Lifeline yesterday afternoon for $4.00. I love how the collar and cuffs are contrasted in white and it is in fabulous condition.


I also picked up this owl candle holder the other day at Vinnies for $1. Isn't he cute?
