And then today I wore this:

Top - Dotti; Cardi - Temt; Jeans - MNG; Sandals - Sportsgirl; Bracelet - Mimco

Dotti lace detail top

I bought this top over a year ago, but apparently Poh from Poh's Kitchen was wearing the same top in watermelon on tonights episode (I wasn't home tonight so I didn't see it).  What a freaky coincidence!!

I think my MNG jeans might be going to denim heaven very soon, they are wearing quite thin behind the knees.

Thanks for reading!

Edit: I forgot to credit my sister for taking the photos!  She takes all of the photos for my outfit posts - thank you!!!!

Work Xmas Dinner Outfit

Hi everyone,
tonight's blog is just a quick outfit post from my work Xmas dinner which was this evening.  It was just at a small Italian restaurant and I didn't stay too late because I'll have an early start tomorrow.

Top - Dotti; Jeans - MNG; Cardi - Temt; Shoes - Witchery; Jewellery - Mimco

Bracelets - both from Mimco

I picked up the Noir Chain Bracelet last week when Mimco had 20% off storewide.  I wore the Dark Secret Bracelet as well.

Casual Friday + Shopping!

Hi everyone,
Friday was casual clothes day again, this is what I wore:

Casual Friday Outfit

Top - Dotti; Cardigan - Temt; Black Skinny pants - Living Doll; Jewellery - Etsy Heart Bracelet and Mimco Curb Chain Bracelet

I haven't been able to fit into those pants for over a year, so I was really happy to be able to get back into them again!

I got a few new things this week - some bottoms for work, a few cardis and a top from Sportsgirl!

Jeans West cardigan - $20 (with $20 off birthday voucher)

Jeans West cardigan - $24 (with 40% Off Storewide offer)

Sportsgirl was having 20% Off Storewide on Thursday, so I picked up the short sleeve knit that I had my eye on a while ago.

Cropped pants - All from Target

The far left ones are a kind of black and white fine check/weave pattern (but the look grey in the picture), the middle pair are just plain black and the far right are grey and in a more slim, tapered leg style.  I think I will get a lot of wear from these this summer and they were all very inexpensive.  One pair (can't remember which one) was $39, the other two were around $20.  All were marked as $45 - I love shopping at Target when things just randomly scan at a lower price!!

I also got this skirt from Target, it was marked at $39 and scanned for $20!

Target Skirt

It's hard to tell, but it has some panelling detail at the sides.  It's a longer length as well, about knee length which is good because I'll be able to wear it in Summer without stockings, without showing too much leg.

Daiso and Passionflower + Outfit of the Day

Hi everyone,

On Friday I made another trip to Daiso, this time with my sister!  We had lunch in the city first (at a Malaysian restaurant in QV) and then hopped on the tram out to Abbortsford.  There was quite a bit more stock than Thursday's trip, but there were a lot of unpacked boxes in the aisles and still quite a few empty shelves.

I bought some gift bags (for Xmas, birthdays etc.) and some origami paper.

 My sister bought an umbrella, some wrapping paper, gift bags, origami paper, oil blotting sheets, a little key charm thing and some little felt decorations for craft projects.

Then after Daiso, we had dessert at Passionflower.  The menu is so overwhelming, I wanted to try about five different things!!!  And they let you taste the different icecream flavours before you decide what you want to order!

I ended up ordering Tiramisu, which was nice but I was feeling a bit sick by the end because it was so creamy.

Tiramisu - Passionflower

 My sister had banana crepes with sticky rice and coconut icecreams.  The sticky rice icecream was ok (it actually has grains of rice in it!) but the flavour was a bit meh - just a generic sweet flavour.  She said the crepes were nice though!

Banana crepes - Passionflower

Look at all the different icecream flavours!!  They have lots of Asian inspired flavours like sticky rice, red bean, jackfruit, green tea, durian, black sesame etc.  I tried Kumquat and Wild Lime Sorbet.

On the way back to Melbourne Central to get the train home, I bought these shoes from Cotton On.  I think they will be cute for Summer!  You can't see all that well in the picture, but they have little bows on them.

Flats from Cotton On

It was sunny so I wore a summery top, but it turned out to be freezing, only about 20oC or so.  Lucky I brought a cardigan as well!

Cupcakes + Outfit

Today, I was meant to be first aid volunteering at a local town festival, but that was cancelled due to bad weather so I had a free day.  I ventured back over to Westfield Doncaster with my mum to try our luck again in finding her a dress.  We browsed in Myer for ages and had a look in a few other places and couldn't really find anything.

We did bump into a good friend from high school and her mum who were out shopping as well.  We were best friends in primary school and early high school but have kind of drifted apart since starting uni so it was nice to catch up with her.

I also purchased some cupcakes for afternoon tea from Joy Cupcakes.

Clockwise from bottom left: Quince, Rosewater & Pistachio, Lavender & Honey

The Lavender and Honey one was probably my favourite.  Quince is one of my all time favourite foods, but the quince one was honestly a bit of a let down.  The cake part was just a normal chocolate cupcake and I think the icing was just some kind of buttercream with a bit of quince paste added to it.  I thought a quince cupcake would be awesome, but this cupcake was pretty ordinary.  The Rosewater cupcake was also quite good.

It was pretty cold today so I decided to wear a scarf:

This scarf was from Dotti.  It is one of those square scarves that you fold into a triangle.  Black cardi is from Quick Brown Fox (courtesy of sister's wardrobe) and underneath is a plain black tshirt.

I wore my Etsy bracelet again.  I couldn't get a decent picture of it on (it's really hard to photograph your own wrist), so here is a picture of it sitting on my desk, haha!

Simple, but nice!

Outfit of the Day

This is really an outfit of the night, I just threw this on to go to a meeting (I'm a St John's Ambulance volunteer and we have training meetings every Tuesday night).

The scarf and jacket are both from Dotti.  The jacket had some kind of ugly badge/faux army decoration thing on the sleeve so I just unpicked it, rolled over it with a lint roller to get rid of all the fluff and ironed over where the stitching was - problem solved!!  I really like this scarf, I wear it all the time haha!  Pink and grey is such a nice colour combination.

Thanks for reading! :-)
