Biker Jacket pt3: Office Wear

Today ladies i thought i would bring you part 3 of this little series

Biker Jacket Pt : Office Wear

When i received this jacket i knew i wanted to try as many different ways to style it and for the office was one style i wanted to try.

 I threw on some smart tailored trousers and a nice blush sweater and scarf, donned my loafers and felt smart!  Don't get me wrong if you have a very strict dress code this may not be exactly the right thing to wear, but for me its smart and comfy! I really like the idea of a pencil skirt and the jacket to....note to self must try this!

 Hubby always laughs at these trousers and suggests a game of chess every.single.time...lol.

If you would like a little look at previous styling check Part 1 & Part 2

(just for the record i had big old ski socks in my bag;-)

One things for sure i am still  totally in love with jacket!

Introducing MissesDressy

I was recently introduced to MissesDressy and when i'm introduced to a good thing, i like to pass on the word to you girls!
MissesDressy was launched in 2008 with a goal to provide high fashion and designer names to women and teens.
I was so surprised when i clicked on the website (and then clicked again and then some more) at the range they sell. If you are looking for any type of occasion dress they have it! From wedding prom, ball gowns and smart day dresses.. the list goes on. 
Here's a few i have been partial to cyber stalking lately:

1. 2.

3. 4.

5. 6. 

1,2 and 3 are the wonderful Eva Franco who i think has some gorgeous retro/vintage inspired fabulous designs which i am completely head over heels for!  The blue wrap dress looks gorgeous too and the white with black belt looks very Zooey Deschanel don't you think?

I've also gone slightly cray-cray for beauty! Just need another wedding ... mmmm, that would be coooool.

So if you have a special occasion coming up definitely Check them out! 

I do like to share the dresses love!;-)

Familiar Formula

Its the weekend ladies... doesnt that feel good!!
I do have a crap ton of work to be getting on with which is a little bit rubbish, but i have every intention of eating and drinking and attempting to be merry this week! Are you up to anything nice this weekend?

I am in need of a bit of comfort lately, and when i am in need of that i always seek out my big thick sweaters, corduroy and thick tights! 

Apparently i'm on a bit of a teal, grey and pink kick! I didn't even realise when i put this together that it had the exact same colour scheme as this post.. teal and pink must be floating around my sub conscious right now, not that i mind, i really love the little duo, they look so pleasant together.

Thank you all for your comments on my last post regarding stress. I am going to take up your advice ladies i think! Add to that a BIG glass of vino and i should me as mellow as can be this weekend ;-)

 Do you have a favourite colour scheme? 

This pink and teal is a rather refreshing break from my normal blue/red/mustard combo's, which are also a favourite go to of mine!

Dresses at Dusk

Happy Monday Folks!

Did you have a nice weekend? I do hope so!
I have been in a bit of a rut lately. I was standing in front of my wardrobe staring blankly in complaining to Hub's that i had nothing to wear (to which he did the husband eye roll thing, you know?) Maybe its the lack of shopping and that i'm feeling a little uninspired with what i have, i don't know.
So, after a mammoth trying on sesh where i was being a complete diva/spoilt brat and didn't like any of it (picture me throwing stuff on the bed in a huff like a child throwing its rattle out of the pram) i just picked up my favvvee dress. Knowing I'd already asked Paul if we could do blog photos today he responded to my dress choice with "didn't you do that one recently?" Gold star for observation hubby, gold star. But that wasn't really what i needed to hear at that (stroppy) moment in time. You see sometimes i just want to wear my favourite dress. Full stop. No need to worry that i've "blogged" it before and even worse, very recently. No worries that it's not remixed much differently than the last time i wore it. I just wanted some uncomplicated fave dress time. You get me?
And what resulted in this action? Well it made me do lots of this:

SMILING!!!

Sometimes you just gotta do what you want to do i reckon. Do what makes you happy, go with what feels right. I think i often over think things and make them more complicated than they need to be, and thats not just with my wardrobe. There's a life lesson to be learnt here me thinks...

Do you blog your outfits? 

Do you ever get weighed down with the worry of repeat outfits? 

It sounds so silly really, in real life (as opposed to blogasphere life) we all wear repeat outfits all the time, heck its not like we're Victoria Beckham and have a different outfit every freaking day, we're real life women. 

So therefore ladies I stand up!

 I am a repeat wearer of the same outfit...and sometimes two days on the trot!

(Sshh don't tell anyone that bit!)

It feels good to just grab a dress and go and not worry. 

Anndd i think maybe i need a little shopping to get the creative juices flowing again,hahaha! 

I feel like the dress is such a statement piece in itself that there's not a lot of re mix options, a jumper over it maybe? But i kinda like  love it just as it is.
If you're curious, this is when i last wore it here.

We stopped at this viewing point on our way home from our lovely friends house on Sunday. 

We had spent the day watching the kids play wonderfully and i had baby cuddles with their gorgeous 10 week old baby... hello broodiness (which then dissipated quite quickly as Neo had a tantrum as he couldn't take the toy trains home with him!)

So anyway, in other news ladies, the nights are drawing out ever so slightly and it means we have around an extra 40 minutes of light at the end of the day. Paul did say we probably wouldn't have enough light to take these photos, so apologise if these are a little dark, but i was ever so slightly excited that it was 4.30pm and still not dark! Springs-a-coming people! 

 So then ladies, you go forth and repeat those outfits!

And have yourself a very happy week!
