OOTD | Ragged Priest

 Jumper Ragged Priest / Skirt Vintage / Shoes Nike Air Propels

Hi lovelies! So with winter winding down, I've slowing been able to wear some slightly less practical pieces of clothing. Enter the cropped jumper. I've had this one for some time now. Whilst it's handy for layering underneath coats, with trousers on cold days, it also means that the sleeves don't get shown off.

Hi lovelies! So it's another black and white outfit today, this time with a touch of denim thrown in. I love these overalls which I bought from the Dragonberry pop up shop here. They're so comfy to just throw on with a crop top, then all you need is a jacket and you're ready to go. 

I am also loving the Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvets. I picked mine up on my travels in England, but they've just been released in Australian Pricelines. They're such a comfortable texture to wear and the colour range is nice as well. No "dud" colours to be found. 

I just threw on my Nikes for a casual Sunday spent lunching with Erin. We ended up at Scout Cafe in Red Hill and it was absolutely delicious. I had a huge bagel filled with lots of yummy roasted vegetables, all washed down with plenty of tea. Delish!

What did you get up to this weekend?

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.

Hi lovelies! Less than a week to go before I am free of exam revision. If I'm honest I really having been up to a whole lot lately. I've become a bit of a study hermit. The furthest I've ventured has been to the uni computer labs. Exciting. This dress has been perfect for long study sessions and lazy days.

Welcome to Brisbane, where the summer sandal hauling starts in September and never seems to end. About a week ago Jess walked into my work wearing these beauties in white. We then proceeded to walk back to where she bought them (earlier that day) where I purchased both of these on the spot.

 Hi lovelies! Another outfit post today. This was what I wore to uni on Wednesday. For classes I like my outfits to be casual, comfortable, yet still look put together. I am never going to be the girl wandering round campus in my pyjamas (it happens).

After a brief flirtation with colour in my last outfit post (link here) I am firmly back in the realms of monochrome. The only colour is the burgundy of my belt, well and the lipstick, and I couldn't be happier. I did feel an urge to match my lips to my belt but felt that may be taking colour coordination to the extreme. 

This was my uni outfit for the day. I like this outfit because it's so simple. It's easy to get caught up in having to make an outfit complicated or unique or a statement and lose sight of the fact that at the end of the day they are just clothes. Part of that is just wanting to settle in our style and I will always be an avid advocate for a statement shoe, but it is nice to go back to basics.

So this uni was back in session. After four months off going back was certainly a shock to the system, but I'm really looking forward to getting back into. Erin was smart enough to choose a short and sweet degree but for those of you heading back this week I figured this outfit would be an appropriate one. 

The white shirt was stolen/borrowed from my younger brother. For years I have been searching for the perfect white shirt but have never managed to find one, so when I need one I just steal his. This one is a tad too baggy on the arms, I know I'm very picky about this particular clothing item. If anyone's curious it's a boy's size 12 from the oh so glamorous Target. 

The leather skirt is a staple for me. Without it I would be lost. Dramatics aside I wear this skirt all the with anything and everything and personally I think that leather is something that you should always invest a bit of money into. There's nothing worse than cheap, shiny faux leather. Also, monochrome. Expect to see that a fair bit from me. It's not often that I'm taken with a trend, but something about it is just so chic and polished, plus you most likely won't even have to buy anything to pull together an outfit. 

The shoes have overtaken my black Litas as most worn JC. I snapped them up in the Zomp sale. Brisbanites pay attention Zomp is one of the only JC stockists in Brisbane now although their selection is rather limited. The Anehalls are now my standard work shoes and are super comfy even after 8 hours on my feet. If you can find a pair I highly recommend. 

Anyways I am off to figure out how the hell I sat through lectures before.
