Skirting the Issue - Outfit of the Day

So, I was in Myer recently paying off a layby for the most amazing faux fur coat ever (which I am yet to wear, by the way because it has been unseasonably warm in Melbourne lately!) when I noticed it was 30% for Myer one card holders, being one I wandered the racks and came upon the cutest skirt and top by Piper Woman. So, having paid off one layby I set about placing another! A couple of weeks ago I picked it up and I thought I would make a little outfit of the day with my two favourite pieces. Please excuse my hair, it was being very difficult!

Top and skirt (Piper Woman @ Myer), stirrup leggings (Target), shoes (Rubi Shoes)

 The skirt has the cutest floral pattern, it's really subtle but in the most beautiful complimentary colours. It also has pockets! Add pockets to a dress or skirt and you have pretty much guaranteed that I will buy it. I have bought some of the ugliest stuff you have ever seen but I always say to myself - 'Don't worry, it has pockets!'

While shopping, I also picked up a new lipstick from Priceline, I had coupons that they had sent me for Maybelline and I chose one of the Colour Sensational lipsticks. The one I am wearing is number 420 - Coral Pop and I love it! I really love coral coloured things in general, I have a ridiculously bright coral colour from the same Maybelline collection and it's one of my favourites but I just wanted a more subtle coral for daytime and I think this colour is perfect. On the whole, I actually quite like the Maybelline Colour Sensational range, I have about 4 different colours that I use regularly and overall I think the formula is great.

Striped Perfection! - Outfit of the Day

Finally back! Sorry to all my one followers but I am finally settled and ready and raring to post! I have a tonne of stuff ready to go, expect a bit of a flood of outfit posts coming to you in the near future! I have also been thinking about making a few other kinds of posts - maybe a favourite clothing set of posts to show a few more of my pieces plus a nail polish post? I love love LOVE nail polish and have an obscene amount! Seriously, my friends and family just shake their heads now when I come home with new purchases!
Anywho - back to the post at hand.

I found this tunic online at Evans and I was unsure about it - I'm tall (5'10'') and I have big legs and I wasn't sure that this striped tunic would actually be long enough for me to wear comfortably out of the house but, it turns out, I LOVE IT. I just love it so much! I can see myself wearing the crap out of this in summer. It's lightweight, sleeved so I don't have to show my bingo wings and I love that nautical stripe kind of feeling it has. I can wear it belted with leggings, as a beach cover up and as a cute little tea dress on those blistering summer afternoons. Kind of makes me excited for summer and I am NOT a fan of the heat.

 See these amazing studded loafers? See how unbelievably cool they are? Yeah, I know - awesome huh? They are from Topshop and I am so in love with them. They are the most comfy shoes plus they are mother'uckin' studded loafers! They will feature a lot in future outfits, I can already tell.

 

These bracelets are actually a little bit of a departure for me. I'm not religious, at all really, but lately I have become a little obsessed with buying things with crosses on them. I dunno why, but I now have three items bought in the last month.
