Shoes | UNIF Heathers Boots

Hi lovelies! I feel like this post may have well been titled 'because you can always use another pair of black platforms.' I am willing to admit it's definitely a bit of an addiction now. 

OOTD | Keep it Simple

 Jumper Thrifted / Shorts by Evil Twin via DollsKill / Shoes Heathers Boots by UNIF via DollsKill

Hi lovelies! So I might look a little undressed for winter, but worry not I am wearing tights and a thick thermal top underneath my jumper. This jumper was a complete bargain I found when thrifting.

Floral Day Dress - thrifted and altered / Belt - White Ribbon from Spotlight / R.M. Williams Lace-up Boots / Sunglasses - Sporsgirl

Like Jess, my outfits have been getting more and simple during these warmer months. Being a thrift addict I am always prepared for summer with a plethora of easy to throw on dresses. This is one the first thrifted dress I ever purchased and also the first second hand garment I altered to fit my own style; and it still fits my style to this day. 

It is a lightweight cotton fabric sewn in a very simple pattern. When I found it on the rack it was a lot longer and had a drop waist. I fell in love with the floral detail and knew that if I raised the dresses waist line to match my own it would be much more wearable. 

Everything else in this outfit are such basic staples for me. I have too many more dresses of similar shape and colour that these accessories would work for most outfits. Keeping it simple all summer long. 

If you'd like to know how I went about altering this dress please let me know in the comments.

Shoes | UNIF 'Gosh' Boot

Hi lovelies! So I was holding off on showing you this pair of shoes, but I can't put off wearing them in outfit posts any longer. I bought this pair of shoes at the same time as the UNIF 'Lost Sole' Boots from DollsKill. I couldn't choose between the two pairs, and a sneaky 30% off code prompted me to get both.

Hi lovelies! So I have come to accept the fact that 90% of the clothing I own was originally intended for men. Like this shirt by one of my favourite shirt manufacturers 'The Mountain'. I have a couple of women's shirts from the line, but when I saw the XL on sale for $10 on Urban Outfitters I couldn't say no.

As the days warm up and the sun beats down you're beginning to see a lot more of my favourite pieces. The paler and floral-er colours are my favourite to wear and it is this time of year that allows for such feminine looks. I took this weekend date with Jess to don one of my 'cuter' outfits for a little while so I thought I'd share it with you. 

OOTD | Glittery Weaves

Chambray shirt - thrifted / Pullover - vintage / Black A-line skirt - Barkins / Black opaque stockings - VooDoo / Black leather 'GG Rider' riding boots - Greg Grant

I told you so, I really do love an eccentric knit; the brighter the better. This probably one of my favourite and most worn knit purchases and I owe it all to spontaneous purchasing with a voucher to the Woolloongabba Antique Centre that Jess gave me a while back. Its neon pink and purple patterns confused with a spattering blue glitter thread make me so happy just by looking at it. 

OOTD | Oh How Hibiscus

Sandbank Dress - Gorman / long tweed coat - thrifted / 70 denier black opaque tights - VooDoo / sunglasses - Sportsgirl / tan suede boots - Windsor Smith

How I wish the weather was still as beautiful as it was in these photos. Winter is such a confusing time of year because we expect it to be cold but sunny and it never quite is; rain always seems to catch us off guard and dampen the season. Anyway, this is a quick outfit post of something I put together recently right before I was due to get my fringe trimmed (as you can see it is sneakily pinned back to hide my shame). 

Like many things in Gorman, I had lusted over this dress until I found it on sale earlier this year. It is the perfect drop-waist dress made from a super soft but firm cotton with the most perfectly positioned pockets (for a dress anyway). As it has been getting colder it has been getting neglected quite seriously but on this warmer day I decided to whip it out to celebrate. It does have a boat neckline and angular sleeves so it needs strict guidance when under a jacket. 

OOTD | Maxed Out

 Blazer Thrifted / Cardigan Thrifted / Dress MinkPink via Urban Outfitters / Boots Vintage via Etsy

One of things I miss most about summer are maxi dresses. They are so floaty and comfortable, so I'm always looking for ways to wear mine during the colder months. This MinkPink dress was in the Urban Outfitters sale and I snapped it up straight away. 

I am having a massive thing for MinkPink at the moment. I love all their recent releases and always waiting for things to go on sale. Although they're an Australian label I tend to buy most of my clothing from them as it works out cheaper.
