Oldies But Goodies

7 April 2014



 Paint It Red cropped tee (old) | Three of Something skirt (old) | Jessica Buurman sandals | Forever New crossbody bag (old) | Jolie & Deen necklace | Etsy and Jolie & Deen bracelets | Dogeared rings

Today's look is composed of mostly old clothing from either last season or many seasons ago. The main idea here is that even though we're driven by magazines, social media and online shopping sites to continue to purchase new items all the time, there's nothing wrong with old stuff too. 

These are a few of my favourite 'oldies but goodies' and items that I will continue to love for a very long time. I particularly love this ikat printed skirt from Three of Something. Although ikat isn't overly big at the moment, printed skirts will never go out of fashion and hey, this is a (pretty awesome) printed skirt. 

The crux of what I'm saying here is to feel confident and comfortable with yourself and let what you wear be a reflection of that. Don't let people tell you how to dress or the sort of person you should be. Wear whatever you want and be whoever you want to be. Old clothes can be just as amazing as new clothes!

Monochromatic Ikat

4 April 2013


Sass & Bide jeans | Dotti top | Forever New blazer | Kurt Geiger heels | Minusey bag | Adorn by Sarah Lewis necklace | Sportsgirl and Sabo Skirt bracelets


I love every single part of this outfit! Each item drew my attention individually, so of course I had to throw them all on together. As much as I try to embrace colour, there's just something about black and white that I can't neglect. All my tops are basically either black or white and I'm a repeat offender of buying the exact same top in black and white too. I can't help myself...monochrome never fails to make a statement. If I could wear this outfit every day, I'd never have to worry about what to wear again! 

I got these jeans at Christmas but surprisingly haven't worn them much. That's about to change. Come autumn/winter, I'm fairly certain these are going to become regulars. My white blazer has also become a wardrobe staple and is currently my go-to jacket on cooler days. My white heels are my new favs too because I love a white shoe and I have no doubt these will be the winter equivalent to my worn-to-death white wedges (which I'll have to ditch when summer is over). I also collaborated with the amazing label Adorn by Sarah Lewis for this post. Their beautiful Luna necklace completes my outfit like nothing else and I can't believe how many outfits I can wear it over.  This necklace looks great with just about everything!
