Layering Black & White

As all Melbournians are well aware there are sometimes 4 seasons within a day here, this is a simple classy way to layer black and white to wear for work, meeting or casually out.

OOTD:

TOP (inner – outer layer): long sleeve sheer white lace top (found in the street market of Vietnam), H&M boyfriends fitted blazer, Alexa Chung inspired tweed black & white coat.

Bottom: Forever New thick zipped skinny pants (was on special for $12)

Heels:  Oroton classic patent pumps
Belt: Patent Salvatore Ferragamo

Bag: Givenchy black Antigona medium bag (something borrowed, there was a little secret that was revealed to me on it’s price and where to get it… will tell you what I found out on my next post, some of you may already know)

Let's Talk Trash

 Scanlan & Theodore's midi skirt / CBRL Lace Sleeveless Collar Top / Cue Belt / Steve Madden Bow Peep Toe Pumps 

Hi! How are you doing?

Let’s talk Trash? My wardrobe is in need of some serious clean up, some date back to when I started my high school years (over 10 years ago), thought what I no longer wear could go to a good cause, ie. Salvos, St Vincents or Good will people, however I’ve found some treasure in my trash. The skirt you see here is from 2003/2004 Scanlan & Theodore's collection, which I was meant to donate ages ago.

Well here I was confused as to “what to wear” today?! Since I just bought this Lace/Mesh sleeveless top by CBRL, I decided to team it with this midi skirt, which worked well with my Cue belt, the belt synched in my waistline and held up the skirt and top (it was “SMALL” in size, however not petite enough) all day long without falling off me.

What recent treasure have you found that you thought was trash?

Engineered Lace Shift

Engineered lace Shift Dress by Portmans / Nude Tan PowerBlush Patent by Windsor Smith 

 

 

Hi! How are you doing?

I love anything white and delicate, especial French lace dresses, this isn’t “Lover” the label but it’s darn similar to one at a fraction of the cost. This is an Engineered Lace Shift Dress by Portmans with intricate detail. Its RRP is about $119, this was on the faulty rack at DFO South Wharf (Melbourne) for $50, and luckily it was a size 6AU (last one). This wasn’t a faulty item, it was missing an inside slip (but I have plenty of that in my wardrobe) hence I got it for only $25 (50% the sale price) for a missing slip. Happy as daisy!

You could dress this up by wearing heels or dress it down by wearing sandals. Comfy for all day, I wore this to work and to a travel expo, but some choose to wear this to weddings. Everyone’s entitled to their own style, so be yourself and dress however you want to dress. There is no rule in fashion.

What’s your bargain story?

Something Borrowed

Alannah Hill Yellow "Something Borrowed" Dress / Tony Bianco Yellow Stilettos

Hi! How are you doing?

Yellow, yellow like the sun
Yellow yellow, everyone!
Bright yellow from heart, mind to soul
Feel the light from head to toe!
Bam bam boom boom !
Embrace the yellow or be a baboon

Yellow is for charming smilies
for youth, exuberance and cowardice
yellow is for warmth and inspiration
to make people smile is its purpose.

Thought I’d share a gift I got from my twin sister, even though I am a terrible walker and poser in high heels with my bowed uneven legs and all, she gifted me a pair of Yellow Tony Bianco stilettos, which were irresistible – smiles all around. She said it was on special for $28AUD hehehehe, another bargain find!

It was difficult to find an item that would pair nicely with these pumps, so I decided to go old fashion and colour match it to my lacey Alannah Hill A-line luxuriously embroidered, sheer silk floral frock! With it's Parisian flair and bold elegance. As usual Alannah Hill would give each her clothing item a name, this dress is called “Something Borrowed Dress”.

What colour are you matching up today?
