Mint, sequins and navy and white stripes




Details : Blazer and skirt : Truworths | Tank : Mr. Price | Shoes : La Diva | Necklace : The Silver Company


You may remember this outfit from a previous viewing and I wore the skirt to the wedding we went to a month or so ago.  I wore it sans the striped blazer this time.  With the weather cooling I added the striped blazer and a pair of pantihose.

I added my super pretty necklace that Schatz bought me for Christmas, a single silver bracelet and a blingy ring.  I kept the accessories simple as the top is so shiny.

Thats all for the moment friends.

Navy and white or should it be white and navy

I was attempting to get Tequila to sit and behave for the photo - it wasn't successful but Schatz got a fairly good picture of my arm candy.



I can't remember if I've ever photographer this cardigan for the blog.  I bought it at the end of the last winter season sales.  I have considered removing the bow and making it into a pin instead but have not gotten around to it.
The vest was given to me by Mom for my birthday at least two years ago.  I love the little frills sewn down the front.  My skirt I've worn multiple times through all seasons, so it's an old friend.

Today was an odd day with an underlying feeling of stress in the office.  It exhausted me.  After taking these pics I cuddled up on the couch and had a snooze.  When I woke up I headed to shower, ate dinner and have been vegging watching some tv and editing these photos - I think heading up to my bed right about now is the best idea I've had all day :-).

Hey hey ... here comes the weekend.  Have a fab Friday.

The days of uncertain weather

Autumn snuck up on us .. its been toying with us with promising of cooler weather but today, the temperatures started dropping.  Since our offices were like an oven yesterday I thought I'd get away with a last stab at Summer outfit.

Contempo
I went to do my vitamin shopping after work yesterday and had to pop into my favourite stores across the way from Dischem.  There were some interesting bits about and I behaved and picked up this set of bracelets at Contempo.   There were some interesting items in the store and I managed to behave and not bring anything else home with me ... but it was difficult.
There are such pretty knits, jeans and jackets in the stores.  With winter nipping at our heels, the stores will be doing serious winter trade this weekend.  I'm glad I've washed my coats and jackets and am as prepared for the cold as I can be.

FABruary Style Challenge : Day 21 : Something old and something new

Coral trousers and cream
 Trousers : Legit | Top (two piece) : Truworths | Shoes : La Diva
Coral Ring
 Ring : Truworths | Watch : Lanco
Coral necklace
Todays challenge is 'something old and something new'.  The tank with the knit top over is a new to my closet item and the shoes must be the oldest item in this ensemble.

The top has a bit of gold in it, but its not being picked up in the photos.  The necklace was a gift from Taryn (can you tell that she spoils me ... mama feels loved) on her first visit home and she fixed it for me when she was home in December.

This is a rather different look for me and not something I'd wear every day but it sure was cool and comfortable.

This evening I got another gift from Taryn.  She sent me a beautiful blue and white diamond pendant which I'll definitely wear tomorrow and share with you.  She also send me a gorgeous Eiffel Tower keyring ... we're dreaming big as we plan our 2016 trip to Paris.

After picking up my amazing gift, Courteney and went to gym.  I have not been since about October or November, so it was really time.  Courteney asked if we could join boxing on Wednesdays - now that should be fun.

Hope your Thursday has been fantastic .... here's looking forward to the weekend.

FABruary Style Challenge : Day 14 : Lace


White lace skirt and dashing red blazer
Details : Skirt : Truworths | Blazer and T-shirt : Edgars | Shoes : La Diva | Belt : Chinese Mall
Necklace : The Silver Company | Bracelet : Truworths | Belt from the Chinese Mall | Nailpolish : Pouf Daddy by Essie


Air guitar artist wanna?

I need to get a picture where it highlights the shiny bits in my necklace - no picture has done it justice as yet.
White and red striped t-shirt, red blazer and white lace skirt
Here is another new to the blog item - my red blazer.  You may remember that I searched for ages for one, but did not find exactly what I wanted.  This is as close as I think I may get.  I bought it off my sister months ago after she had bought it but felt it did not fit quite right. 

I love this skirt and am not totally sure why I have not worn it in what could easily be a year.  I do remember that I need to hem the lining as its a little long, but it did not peep out today ... also, with the two kgs I've lost, it's not as snug around the pear bit of me as it was. 

Hope your Valentine's Day is fun .

Beautiful blue

Details Top : China store
Pants :
Belt : Mr Price
Shoes : La Diva, Mulbarton
Necklace : Woolworths

I visited my hairdresser and had a trim and overdue colur.  I feel new and oh so pretty.

 
I almost believe that my kitties love me ... just look at how they're looking at me.  So very cute they are.  The big ginger (red) is my boy Lucky who I adopted about 5 years ago and rehabilitated from a terrified miserable mess who hid under my bed for three months and stayed away from all humans to a rather sweet and sociable, confident boy who will come into a room of visitors and even walk between us ... so proud of him and just adore him.  He however has still not accepted the little black brat.  She irritates him and he now spends a lot of time outdoors. 

Hope your day had a good part to it too ... I feel prettie oh so prettie ;-)
