Militarian and skinny trousers

Do you have a pair of trousers that you love but they sit at the good end (skinny end) of your wardrobe? I do, these trousers are size 8/10, finally I have shrunk my derriere into them; it's a damn good feeling! A new fitness regime of running and toning seems to be doing the trick. Hopefully I can maintain it, hard bloody work but oh so rewarding!

Every now and then, I venture into an op shop and come out with something fabulous and totally unexpected. The other day I spotted these, worn once Kenneth Cole designer heels, bargain price of $15! The style is classic and I love the bow detail, very elegant, don't you think? What's your best op shop find, do tell?...

Carlton Gardens and colour

My weekend was a bit of non event, caught the cold and spent most of it on the couch or in bed, felt robbed when Monday morning came round and it was back to work, ppfff. Thankfully, my cold has buggered off and yesterday I took a very pleasant stroll through Carlton Gardens, in the heart of the CBD and just a stones throw from my work. It's such a pretty, peaceful place and with no one around, the perfect back drop for a shoot.

In my previous post, I discussed my love for a pop of colour in Winter. I love black too, but when I wear it, it has to be with a wee bit of colour; however there are some ladies in the blogesphere who rock a head to toe black look, enter Sea of Ghosts. 

Adding a statement pair of tights or accessories can really bring a dark palette to life. With this outfit, I've gone for mustard and gold to give this outfit some presence, I like it, hope you like it too.

New Sportsgirl orange faux fur

Did you have a good weekend, yes? Good, I did too. There's a little trend going on with me at the mo, I'm grabbing anything orange or mustard, my winter palette. My latest steal would have to be this orange faux fur from Sportsgirl, bought on sale for $29.99 (in case your wondering, I'm not on the payroll, I simply just love to shop there). I first spotted it a month or so ago and stalked it till it went on sale, the pieces I like always do, ie the brightly colored, in your face kinda treasures. 

Pictured here, I've wrapped it around as apposed to the usual way in the last pic, more cosy and it shows off my previously purchased Sportsgirl chrome belt. The Chelsea boots bought on sale from ASOS have been on rotation, so comfy, give me height and go with practically everything. I've been good to myself lately, don't you think?

New mustard spotty tights

I love tights! My collection is huge, I despair when a favorite pair ladders. Last week, I spotted (ah, see what I did there) these mustard tights by Melbourne brand ok-ok. Fit is important, they sit snug and don't slouch, high on the waist, again important; nothing worse than a pair of tights that you need to yank every 5 mins. I reckon, I could easily own their whole range, so many beautiful colours and patterns and perfect to boost my Autumnal/Winter wardrobe. 

Did you have a good weekend? My weekend in Bendigo was absolutely perfect, I look forward to sharing a post with you later in the week.
