Thursday and Friday Outfits

Hello everyone,
I didn't get a chance to upload pics of what I wore from Thursday and Friday during the week but I have some spare time this afternoon.

On Thursday I decided to branch out from my usual uniform of jeans and a black top (this is what I wear for casual wear probably around 90% of the time) and go for a lighter colour top.  It's still quite a neutral shade.  I feel weird wearing bright colours, haha!

Top - MNG Basics; Jeans - Levis; Shoes - Witchery

The sleeves on this top have a cute ruffle/puff/something detail (but are a pain in the bum to iron!)  For any slightly shorter than average ladies looking for skinny jeans, I highly recommend the Levi's "Jeggings" style.  I know, I know, jeggings are ghastly, but these are actual jeans (i.e. made of denim, not whatever cheap stretch fabric jeggings are made of) and have a zip, five pockets etc.  I just thought I should clarify that, haha!  Anyway, I am 163cm tall (roughly) and I find it impossible to find jeans which are short enough for me.  They're always too long and by the time you turn them up or hem them (I hate the look of too-long pants bunched up around your ankles), they're not really skinny anymore as you loose the tapered effect at the ankle.  As you can see, these are the perfect length for me!

On Friday I resumed my normal boring outfit choice of black, haha!  It was hot on Friday, but this tshirt is quite loose so I didn't swelter too badly.

Top - Jeanswest; jeans - MNG

It has some cute fluttery sleeves too!

I've been reading the fashion challenges thread on Vogue Forums and I'm thinking maybe I should come up with a fashion challange for the month of February.  I don't want to do the "uniform" challenge (wearing the same thing everyday for a month or whatever) because I think I already wear similar things most days as it is.  Maybe I'll try to wear a different top everyday or different accessories or something.  Let me know if you have any ideas!

Thanks for reading!!

DFO Southwharf Shopping Trip

Hi again!  Today I had to go into uni to clean out my locker and see one of my lecturers (she wrote a reference for me so I had a small gift for her + we are trying to get an article we wrote published - fingers crossed!!) so I decided afterwards to head down to Southwharf to see if I could find a better purse for my nana and return the other one that I bought.  I was able to find a better one (although it's pink, so I'm not sure if she'll like it).  Does everyone else find that, whenever you go shopping with a specific idea in mind of what you want, what you want never actually exists?  It drives me crazy!!

Needless to say, I got a bit distracted from my purse shopping agenda and purchased a few items for me along the way.

Here are the things I purchased:
Equip had a three for two special, so I purchased a ring (so cute!) and two necklaces.

Equip ring - you can see my Ulta3 Watermelon mani is still holding up as well!  I did my toes this morning too as I wore thongs today.

Equip multi-strand necklace

Metallic purple pouch thingy from Mimco - I plan to use this to put my iPod in for when I put it in my handbag so it doesn't get scratched/the headphones don't get damaged.  I don't know how many pairs of headphones I've ruined because I just tug on them to pull my iPod out from underneath everything else in my bag.

Sideways pic (sorry, I must learn how to fix this!) - the colour is a little darker than this in person.

Leak proof lunchbox for salads and other food items which I don't want dripping all over the contents of my bag!  Very practical...if it actually works!  I bought this at Howard's Storage World.

My new lunchbox!

 The Lovely Bones DVD - I read the book in Year 9 and it kind of freaked me out a little bit.  I obviously liked it though because I re-read it in about Year 11 (I think) and I saw the film when it came out in cinemas (either this year or last year, can't remember).  The book and the film were quite different, but I did like both.  I think I cried through pretty much the entire movie though!  This was on sale at JB Hifi for $12.98 - awesome!

 Two tops from Levi Jeans.  They had buy one get one free and I really liked the tshirt so I decided to get the other top as well - it's just simple, loose fitting black top so I'm sure I will be able to get plenty of wear out of it this summer.  I really liked the print of the tshirt, but it has a weird, throat constrictingly high neck line, so I may attmept to alter it to make it less so.

Sideways again!  Levis print tshirt.

 That's all from me for now, thanks for reading!
