Statement Jackets

Blazer - Pre-owned (similar or this) // Shirt - Zara (similar) // Shorts - Tempt

My go to outfit when I'm completely blank of what to wear is a basic tee, black jeans/shorts and, if it's a bit chilly, this intricately patterned blazer.  I found this cute paisley piece while sifting through my aunt's rarely-used-items wardrobe in San Fransisco years ago. It did require a shoulder pad removal, but since then I've been treating it with as much common wear as my holey white tee's!

I think now's a perfect time as ever to put on a light statement jacket with your favourite basics, add a bit of colour to match those warm and breezy days of Sydney's autumn!

Tee - Cotton On (other tees) // Shorts - Forever New (similar) // Jacket - Forever 21 (similar)

I have loved this jacket since the moment I bought it, but it's one of those pieces I've struggled with because I couldn't figure out how to wear it. I've been meaning to for over a year (when I bought it in America) because it's so cool, but it's hard to pair because of the colours. I was hoping to stear away from monochrome after my last post, but hey, I didn't know what else to do! I wanted to pair this look with my creepers but they're completely broken beyond repair, so I've cut my feet out of these pictures (I'm just wearing my Dr Martens). Hope you guys like this look! Let us know, we're open for comments!

Sorbet Coloured Day

Jumper - unknown (similar) // Shorts - Jayjays (similar) // Slip ons - Vans 

The weather's been so unpredictable lately that it isn't strange to be wearing a jumper or jacket over shorts and a tee in 30 degree heat. In my usual fit of hurry, I decided to keep things cool and cosy with these old burgundy shorts, plain white tee and this cream v-neck jumper that I'm sure was my fathers in the 90's. I was a bit unsure of wearing the jumper out because of it's raggedy state, it's my go to clothing item for painting and DIY projects! Despite the varnish stain here and there I think it matched pretty well with the burgundy!   

Hope you guys have a delightful weekend! xx

Blazer - Glassons (similar) // Dress - Fahrenheit (similar) // Bag - Colette (similar)

Yesterday we had a look at the weather and had decided we'd head to the beach today in the short hours I had before work. And so naturally we ended up in the back streets of Surry Hills, because we have the tendency to completely change our minds at the last second. But nonetheless, I had picked my dress out with the intention of strolling the Clovelly shoreline. I've had it for a few years but don't wear nearly often enough. Here, I've paired it with my simple white blazer, Colette handbag, and my trusty Docs. Hope you all have a great weekend!
