Blue peplum and a statement necklace

Oooh, looking serious while dodging the setting afternoon sun and keeping an eye on my lively photographer, Jarod.

WHEN:  October 3, 2013 : Thursday

THE MAIN ATTRACTIONS:
Peplum : Mr Price (Last season)
Skirt : Jet (Last season)
Necklace : Accessorize

THE BASICS :
Shoes : Makro

THE DAY PLAN : I had nothing beyond pc and studio work planned but really felt like dressing up a little more than usual. 

THE VERDICT : Schatz liked this look a lot and said I looked classy ... I aim to please the man.  You may remember that I took his shock at the striped dress quite badly and was in fact surprised by his reaction ... today I got the total opposite, the only thing that may have surprised him more would have been a ball gown, or maybe a dominatrix outfit ;-).

Thankfully peplums are still on trend this season.  One of the things about living in the southern hemisphere and watching the styles in the North, is that you know if what's in your closet is still on trend by the time the season changes.

 

I only wore this peplum about two or three times last summer, but cannot seem to find a photo of myself in it, so I'm happy to get a bit more wear out of.  I decided to pair it with this black and white skirt of mine, which I also wore but a handful of times and that I love.

Here's to Happy Spring and Autumn days.

ITEMS SEEN PREVIOUSLY : Skirt worn previously here and here.

WHEN: 
September 26, 2013 : Thursday

THE MAIN ATTRACTIONS:
Top : Contempo (This season)
Skirt : Truworths

THE BASICS:
Kitten heels - Can't remember where I got them

THE FINISHING TOUCHES:
Pendant : Mr. Price
Watch : Tempo - Taryn was going to give it away, so I nabbed it for myself, because she does not wear yellow gold.
Sunnies : Feebies with the latest Fairlady magazine ;-)


THE DAY PLAN : The weather bureau threatened that the temps today would rise 32⁰C and that had me in a quandary as far as what to wear.  I decided that since I intended to be indoors most of the day anyway, I'd be able to handle this outfit, since the top is 97 % polyester and 3% elastaine, its really not the thing to wear out in the heat.  But since all I did in the outdoors was walk to my car and back, it was totally bearable.

I worked on module 3 yesterday, but when I uploaded the images, the colours looked really off, so I spent this morning re-reading some of the module and then went about taking the photos this afternoon.

Jarod and I went off half way through and did the dinner shopping and then he took me for coffee.  I think he was feeling a little lonely because Liam has been at his friend since yesterday.

We came home and I'd just got back to work when the little man arrived.

THE VERDICT : I bought the t-shirt last month from money given me for my birthday.  I like the additional coral and mint stripe at the top.  I have not worn this skirt in a while and thought I'd give the stripes of the top and the lace finish of the skirt a try together and I liked how it looked.

ITEMS SEEN PREVIOUSLY : Top worn previously here and skirt worn previously here and here.

Casual Monday

And just like that, another Monday rolls around a month ago today was my last working day.  I really can't believe an entire month has whizzed by so quickly.

 Today I needed to go to the bank to get documents signed and to see two creditors.  What I thought would be a fairly quick 1 - 2 hour outing ended up being almost four hours.

The deets : Jeans : OBR at Truworths | T-shirt : Pick 'n Pay | Shirt : Mr. Price (Mens) | Handbag : Woolworths | Bracelet, Earrings and Necklace : Kays Jewellers | Boots : Edgars

Schatz allowed me to indulge in the handbag pictured above when he sent me off to pick up a pair of boots from him at the Woolworths 50% off sale.  Tomorrow the clothing sale starts and I'm staying as far away as possible.

I've been hard at work getting my site sorted and am about 95% of the way.  Now to do some marketing - why is it so paralysing?
