Work Outfit Challenge - Day 138.

Today's outfit is all about comfort ... and potentially borderline sleepwear. I'm off to Brissy this afternoon for a shopping adventure tomorrow with my twinny on the glorious gold coast. We're going to head off early and grab some brekky and then let the shopping adventures begin.

and last but not least - a gift from a lovely reader Veronica. She sent me a pile of scrabble letters for the wedding and I am IN LOVE with the wooden ones! Veronica I might see if my aunty can collect the boards if they are even half way as cool as the wooden letters (she lives in Coolum)

Work Outfit Challenge - Day 137.

I'm wearing one of my all time favourite purchases today but more importantly I'm wearing red today for Daniel Morcombe. For those of you who aren't aware, he was abducted nearly 8 years ago here in Queensland and on Saturday they arrested a man for his murder. They are yet to find his body but I am hoping and praying that they do so his parents and his twin can finally lay him to rest. His family requested that people were red today to celebrate his life ... and it's the least I could do.

What a turnaround in one day ... Carrie Bradshaw one day to Sporty Spice the next. I decided on comfort for my ride to work today to showcase my new helmet. Isn't it cool?! ... well as cool as a helmet can be.

Work Outfit Challenge - Day 134.

Have you entered my giveaway yet?!

Go on, do it ... and tell your friends about it. No silly rules about following or tweeting or sharing (but I won't complain if you do any of those things!)

Peeps at work today have been quite impressed with my lady and the tramp coat today (hmmm, or have I got mixed up with 101 Dalmatians?) I've also heard two people describe my look as very Audrey Hepburn. It's a Chloe coat I bought online a few years ago and have probably only worn it three times. I do love it but do also wish it was a little more fitting and not so long. I guess I should wear it more since I paid an arm and a leg for it.
