Travel Month Over

It’s the start of February tomorrow, and I still can’t figure out where the last month has gone. Since Christmas, my diary has been filled with personal travel and work trips. From Perth to Cambodia, back to Sydney and onto Los Angeles it’s been a busy month to say the least! I love my job, and travelling is always welcomed so it’s nice to combine the two doing what I love. Going from Southern hemisphere to Northern can be a bit of a struggle this time of year, but LA wasn’t as cold as I secretly hoped for. I was still wearing a blazer and denim shorts just like I have been in Sydney recently. But with the weather being all over the place right now, I have decided no more summer purchases. I’m not giving into this indecisive climate! The autumn wardrobe building has begun. 













As mentioned in my last post, I have ditched the majority of my heels and replaced them with loafers, which in turn compliment skinny trousers over wide legged. I love the shape on todays cigarette pant, and they make a nice change to denim or pair of culottes. Autumn will be a good season to style a knit or lightweight trench with them. For now, a white shirt does just the job and the breathable fabric means it’s perfect for a humid day in Sydney. The open back also adds a less corporate feel to the look. Perfect for my social media role Monday-Friday. Yet again, Target has done it again, making my work life easier to dress for in the mornings whilst staying true to my relaxed tailored style.

Layered Workwear

This week has been a scorcher in Sydney, but that hasn’t stopped my summer layering goals to be dampened. As you may have read in previous posts, I am determined to stay more in line with my style this year despite the rise in temperature, and plan on doing this by experimenting with lighter fabrics. Off-shoulder tops are still on high rotation in my wardrobe, and this one in particular has a 70’s boho feel that’s on trend and a little sexy. It’s cool to mix up my tailored pieces with something a lot more casual and that’s exactly what I’ve done today. Who would have thought this style of top could be layered? It surprised me too, but when I saw the navy pinstripes compliment the tone of the utility vest (may I add, this is actually a dress) I just had to try it! I’ve never attempted this kind of styling before but was pleasantly surprised. I assumed the frill just wouldn’t sit right, but I couldn’t have judged that more wrong. The top and vest fit nicely together with the high waisted skirt drawing everything in a little to give the look more shape. Would you believe that all three pieces are from Target? They have a great selection of work wear at the moment if you are after something smart but not too corporate.













To lift up the darker tones in this look, I decided to keep the accessories neutral. I’m a bit of a sucker for more luxe pieces this year, which I fully blame Pinterest for! I love how to shoes have that snaky texture and can’t actually remember the last time I wore dolly shoes. Come to think of it I was about fifteen! But there’s something classic about the style and paired with this Valentino bag it seems a match made in heaven! Plus, it’s nice to wear accessories that aren’t black for a change.
