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!!

Back to Uni Outfit

Hello everyone!

Today was my second day back at uni for my Summer subject.  It is a bit of a bummer having almost no holidays (as my hospital placement finished on Dec 24) but I just keep telling myself it will be worthwhile when I'm (hopefully) able to find a good internship position for 2012.

Anyway, enough whinging from me, here is what I wore today:

Top - MNG Basics; Jeans - MNG; Ballet flats - Country Road; Bracelet - Mimco

The top has some asymmetrical pleat detailing across the neckline - I like it as it's fairly simple but a bit more interesting than a plain tshirt.

Top (pleated detail) - MNG

I have been living in these Country Road flats since I got them before Christmas, I love the cut out detailing, so cute! (The orange poking through is my nail polish, hehe!)
