What I wore this week

10th August, 2023

I know I’m well and truly back to the normal life post-holiday now as I’ve spent this past week running around in my fave off duty looks, playing catch up with life admin, work etc. Sydney has been giving some signs of an early spring with the warm days we’ve been having but for now, the temperatures have dipped slightly again so it’s back to layering again. It was one of those weeks where I relied on tried and tested pieces, some even got a repeat wear. When I’m having a busy week, it’s nice to know I have staples that will get me through with minimal fuss. Here’s what I wore this week.

White jeans are really having a moment and I’m a huge fan because of their sheer versatility. I have worn these white pants with so many things in my closet and I’m still coming up with new outfit combinations. I decided on a preppy vibe up top with a striped Bec and Bridge shirt and a cosy knit thrown over my shoulders. These DOF sneakers have been in my closet for several years and they’re still getting a regular workout. The sign of a good wardrobe addition!

This pic is from a few weeks back but I’d yet to post it and the outfit is such an easy go-to of mine that I wanted to share it. White jeans with the same sneakers, but layered with some classic neutral hues and shapes. A simple oversized knit from Assembly Label and a cosy Dissh coat (which I love for its clean lines – no buttons or belt loops to contend with) completed the outfit.

I decided to take advantage of the warm weather and throw on a dress to change things up a bit. Joslin make such gorgeous linen pieces and this design with its billowy sleeves and the pin-tucking at the front elevates this ultra comfy dress. I can’t get enough of Dad sandals and this pair from Chanel is such a great colour and a good alternative to the black version of this style.

You can’t go wrong with white and denim! It’s one of those forever stylish pairings that will see you through many an occasion. These Viktoria and Woods jeans are just the right level of baggy for my frame so I highly recommend a similar style (this one is an old style – so I’ve linked to another option) if you’re on the petite side. My DOF sneakers once again and a crisp white puffer jacket to round out the look.

Fashion, What I Wore

What I wore this week

22nd June, 2023

The temperatures have well and truly dipped in Sydney so it has given me the perfect reason to bring out a few of my favourite winter staples. There’s nothing I love more than layering cosy separates, and this season I’ve got some very wearable pieces that are on trend, but also do the job of keeping my very snug and warm when I’m out and about. That said, there have also been some events on the cards, so I’ve had the opportunity to get frocked up and wear some great dresses. Here’s what I wore this week.

This teddy coat by Aje is honestly the next best thing to roaming the streets with a blanket wrapped around me. It’s so cosy and warm! I love that it’s a long length style too, which ticks the on trend box, but also manages to insulate me from the chilly weather. Plus it gives great texture and the colour is so easy to pair back with multiple outfits. I popped on a pretty simple outfit underneath – a grey jumper and jeans, but the coat really adds a little extra oomph. These D.O.F sneakers are a few years’ old but they have managed to remain current in their style and silhouette which is always a tick for me.

Where would I be without Aje for their never ending supply of great dresses? This particular midi dress is made from a thick ribbed fabric which I found to maintain a really flattering shape, while the frills add a little extra to a simple and sleek design. It’s what I’d imagine an LBD inspired by the dancing senorita emoji would look like!

I’ve got a lot of preppy pieces from Ralph Lauren so this dress is a bit of a departure from that. However, how great is it? Love the navy as a great alternative to a traditional black dress, while the deep V-neck and cut outs add a glam, contemporary touch to such a simple silhouette. Also, this croissant shaped bag feels very on trend right now so it definitely had to accompany me.

Blazers are getting quite the workout in my outfit rotations these days. This oatmeal/grey blazer is a little oversized which feels very modern in its silhouette. It’s such an easy colour to work back with everything and I like that it makes the outfit feel a little less formal compared to a jacket in a darker colour. I popped this blazer on over a simple tank, and worked it back with white straight leg jeans which are my new favourite thing. It’s such a great cut and so versatile. My D.O.F sneakers made another appearance, while my green Dior Book bag added a touch of colour.
