Bewitching

Just when I thought that I was all shopped out, another gorgeous piece of clothing finds its way into my line of sight. Luckily, this time around it wasn't just an impulse purchase but something that I've been wanting for awhile:

Witchery Sheer Silk Floral Top


I love how soft and floaty it is...despite its sheerness, when layered over a 3/4 sleeve top it is surprisingly warm enough to wear indoors in winter, which means I'll be getting some wear out of this even before the weather heats up again.

I adore how it pretties up any outfit with its dreamy (and slightly hippie) lavender floral print. I definitely do not have something like this in my wardrobe yet so I'm very excited about the possibilities of teaming it with the more boring clothes I have...

Here's an idea of how I'm going to wear it when spring comes around:

With my new Siren lace-ups and DIY Levi's cutoff shorts

But for now since we're in the middle of winter, I think I'll just add a pair of stockings until the weather decides to warm up again!



Loving all the bargains during the end of financial year sales!

Siren Call

I think I may have jinxed myself in my last post because Nine West had actually sold out of my size in the Grey Kimbell Oxfords =( (If you're a size 7+ then you're in luck, head down there and grab a pair for yourself, they're gorgeous!)

I tried on the Black Kimbells in my size but thought they were a bit too boring so I left and in my disappointment I wandered into Wanted Shoes and found these quirky Siren Oxfords as a consolation prize:


They're an interesting shade of brown ('Brandy') that can tide me over from winter to spring and autumn and have an awesome cone-shaped stacked heel that will be impervious to the damage I will be inflicting on them (I hate leather covered heels because I always scuff them and the rips in the leather look horrible!)

Although I still prefer grey leather, these were calling out to me to buy them and how can I resist a good bargain?!

Here's how they look on me:


Looking forward to trying these out with some outfits soon!

Do any of you lovelies have any tips on how to prevent the heel scuffing problem?

Paperbag

As promised, an outfit post with one of my new purchases:

Tokito Silver/Charcoal Floral Print Skirt, $69.95

Among all the clothes on sale at Myer...this full priced skirt called out to me and I couldn't resist.

It ticks all my boxes - highwaisted, mid-thigh length, subtle floral print (I've been wanting one for ages!) and with a paperbag tie waist.

I added my DIY chain necklace to see how it looked together...but felt that it looked too prim and proper!

I think that the skirt makes enough of a statement on its own, so I'll probably be toning down the jewellry when I wear it again.

I Love Snail Mail

It's a little belated - but my Lie Detector Necklace came in the post a couple of days ago!!

I'm so relieved that my first online purchase went so smoothly, I think that I'm brave enough to try more online shopping soon =)

Here's some photos of the lovely packaging that it came in:


The necklace and the little card:


The necklace on me:

Unfortunately my photography skills aren't good enough to get a picture of the details on the necklace to show up, but rest assured that it looks exactly like the picture on the Etsy shop that I posted before.

Hmmm...I seem to be having a jewelry overload lately, so I'll be doing some outfit posts with my new clothes purchases soon to balance things out!
