colour pops

Kahlo shirt (seen here), ASOS shorts, Celine clutch, Willow boots (seen here, here & here), Mimco bracelet

Black and white is always a safe outfit choice. It's the fail-safe combination that I rely on when I just want a simple, chic outfit. But, seeing that it is actually summer (and Australian summer always means an influx of colours into my wardrobe), I decided to add some pops of colour into my otherwise monochrome outfit.

Mango denim shirt // Bassike striped tee // J Brand skinnies // Oroton clutch // Chopard watch // Mimco yellow beaded bracelet

This is pretty much a variation of what I normally wear when I'm heading off to uni. As you can probably tell, I love a good pair of jeans and any comfy t-shirt to throw over it- then I'm pretty much happy. Of course, I have days were I really feel like dressing up but this is for when I really want comfort. And to be honest, getting too dressed up for uni just seems a bit silly. 

I have an irrational fear that I'm wasting my outfit on an insignificant day.

simplicity.

bassike white tee // asos leather skirt // jeffrey campbell heels // alexander mcqueen scarf (similar here) //

michael kors watch // mimco yellow bracelet (similar here) // witchery bucket bag (similar here)

This is pretty much my go to outfit for days when I'm running late for class and when the weather looks like it can go either way.

I love anything that's leather, because I think it just gives it that extra edge and makes getting dressed that much more fun

Although, if I was going to be completely truthful...leather makes me feel rock'n'roll :)

especially worn with one of my mcqueen scarves

I feel very old school wearing the skull scarf

A few years ago they were everywhere you look; my mum and I went cray-cray and bought a variety of the colour combinations

The other day when I dug them out and wore it again

My mum sat me down and very seriously asked me why we had so many and why we didn't have the most basic combination (white & black)

She had that look on her face, the one she gets right before she tells me to scour the internet to try and find something

But then we couldn't agree on whether we wanted black with white print or white with black print. She thinks black with white is too rock'n'roll and I think white with black is too boring.

Then we realised why we had all these colour combinations and no monochrome.

My mother is a terrible influence on my shopping ban

I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the shopaholic tree after all
