Sharing Things: Denim Jacket



Jacket - Monki (similar) // Top - Lioness (similar) // Shorts - Tempt (similar) // Shoes - Dr Martens

We've been thinking about sharing things for a while and what better time than now to start this exciting weekly segment! A part from financial deficiencies and booty issues, we'll be wearing or sharing a piece in common and style it in our own way; the first being the all too familiar denim jacket.

Today is all about making the blue pop, so this boyfriend style jacket is styled with an all black, casual ensemble - semi see-through blouse I impulse bought at the basement market part of Pitt St Mall because I was 20 then and lacked anything mature in my closet (Ha!) and black shorts with tights.

Hope you guys like the weekly experiment! xx

The title of this post pretty much sums up this post. Today, we've created two different outfits, with this denim jacket as the statement piece - it really shows our different styles and approaches, doesn't it? Here in Sydney, the weather is so confusing - it starts out super cold, but then you go for a bit of a walk outside and you start to build up a sweat! And so, I thought this denim jacket worked well to help with the wind, but is light enough to carry around if it gets too hot. I'm also wearing calf-high socks at the moment, as they cover a good portion of the leg, but aren't too suffocating.

I'm so sorry for always having so many pictures of us in each post. It's just always so difficult to choose which ones are my favourites, so I upload them all! Let us know what you think of our two differing outfits, and if you'd like to see more posts like this!

The One With The Red Door


Biker Coat - Monki (similar) // Sweater - unknown (similar) // flats - Tempt (similar) 

This hidden nook at the Rocks holds a special place in my mind because I found it with a friend I had just made in my first year of uni while we were trying to take cover from the drizzle. I had forgotten the location of the beautifully rustic lane, so it was a wonderful surprise to stumble upon it with Steph three years later under the same dismal weather conditions!
 
 I decided to do a "Parisian chic" look one more time that week (however this one was more winter equipped!) with this over-sized striped sweater and biker jacket, black trousers and sandal flats to soften the black and white look.

Sorry for the late post, we're running a bit behind (my bad!). More looks to come! xx


Tee - Cotton On // Jacket - Redoute Creation // Jeans - Jay Jays (similar) // Shoes - Naturalizer N5 Comfort

This shoot was both stressful and fun at the same time. It kept raining on and off, so we had to alternate between running for cover, and jumping back in front of this burgundy door to finish the pictures. I've worn this tee very many times on this blog, and that's simply because it's cute and comfy. Here, I was very slightly inspired by the 90s, so I paired the tee with my boyfriend jeans and laced boots.
