Work Outfit Challenge - Day 77.

posting on Monday due to Blogger being down ALL day on Friday!

Yay, it's Friday and I'm pumped to find some bargains this weekend. I really need some more long sleeve tops/blouses for winter. I picked this one up at Kookai on an AWESOME sale and am bummed I didn't get more. Isn't that always the case?! My skirt was included in my $30 garbage bag worth of goodies at the Murphy's Creek jumble sale a month or so ago.

Wearing: top - Kookai, skirt - Wish (second hand), brogues - asos

What's going to be your wardrobe staples for winter? I'm thinking cute blouses, skirts, wide leg pants, maybe some flared jeans, riding boots, long sleeve dresses and cute tights. Oh, and a cute jacket or three.

Have a fantastic weekend.

Work Outfit Challenge - Day 76. Fulfilling Needs.

It feels like FOREVER since I've been op shopping. Well no, let me rephrase that. It feels like forever since I went op shopping and actually got something I wanted to share with all of you guys. And I MISS it! There is barely a week that goes by that I don't at least visit one oppie but my knack for finding AMAZING things seems to have left the building. At lunchtime some of us girls here at work will visit an op. We hear that one of the shops I very rarely visit has a fill a bag sale so that might be our destination. It used to be a shop where everything was WAY overpriced and basically shit but I'm willing to give it a go as they have changed their ways and everything is apparently like under $10. This weekend I think I'll also visit the vintage wardrobe. We are lucky to have a specialised Lifeline in town that only carries vintage stuff. They used to be VERY reasonable in price but in the last year or so have really increased their prices. I'm looking for some vintage blouses so am hoping they have some for around $5 or at least under $10. Oooh, and there is a car boot sale this Saturday which I can't wait for. Last year's event was exciting so hopefully this one will be even better. Wish me luck!

Today I'm wearing this dress from asos. Man I can't stay away from asos - bloody free shipping!! I want them to take it away. But I don't want them to take it away. Is anyone else asos obsessed?

Did I mention I love ruffles?? ... Not as cute as the model, but I'm no model and the lighting is terrible. Oh and I wasn't vain today - I washed my hair this morning and let the frizz flag fly.

                 Wearing: dress - asos, tights - Myer, shoes - Siren, jacket - Martini (op shop in Bangalow for $10 - a STEAL)

till tomorrow, Over and Out

Work Outfit Challenge - Day 76.

Hello all from my short break away for a conference in Brisbane. The temperature gauge in my car this morning read 9 on my way to work so don't be too expectant of any inspiring outfits. Instead let me introduce default boring and plain outfit with a hint of pizzazz - my superb animal print scarf from the silk market in Beijing.

Wearing: top - Target, pants - Tokito, flats - Witchery (all thrifted), belt - Levis @ Myer, scarf - Silk St markets in China.

Oh, and here is what I wore to the races last Saturday. My dress and tights are from asos, fascinator like $5 from Target and Diana Ferrari heels from Lifeline. The day didn't end up so well - let me just say the antibiotics I am on certainly DON'T mix with alcohol. I'll leave it at that!

Hopefully I'll be wearing something a little more exciting tomorrow - weather pending.

Work Outfit Challenge - Day 75.

Brought my DLSR for photos today but bloody forgot to put the battery back in after charging so again, these are from my trusty iPhone. I think I need to find a better skirt to team with this cute vintage Sportscraft blouse. Something a bit more 'flouncy' I think. Oh, and I got a bit vain and decided doing my hair was a better option than staying in bed this morning.

 
Wearing: top - vintage Sportscraft, skirt - Tokito @ Myer, tights - Ambra, brogues - asos

Hopefully heading to the races tomorrow in Stanthorpe so look forward to dressing up!

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.

        Wearing: dress - Bardot @ Myer, cardi - R.M. Williams, boots - vintage, Guess watch - China, glasses - Vietnam

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!

Yay for it being Friday tomorrow!

Work Outfit Challenge - Day 73.

Can't believe it's hump day already. Yay for short weeks at work! Picked up this vintage Fletcher Jones blazer at an op shop in Lismore on the way to Byron last week. The boy thinks I look like a nanna - what are your thoughts?

  
Wearing: dress - Pure Hype @ Trade Secret, blazer - vintage, flats - Witchery via Lifeline ($2) and headband - Equip.       

Oh, and isn't it nice to get surprises out of the blue? Well you know how I loved this idea, well I had posted an ad on our local Gumtree site weeks and weeks ago and finally got a response last night.

It reads:

l have wood boat in backyard two cartons of beer and it is yours.

Just waiting on a response from the lady to see if she can provide a picture and she where she is located but OMG, so PUMPED!

Enjoy hump day peeps.
