Favourite Summer Work Outfit

As the title suggests - this is my favourite summer work outfit! Comfy, loose, silky pants are a must-have in your summer work wardrobe. And they are so versatile; can be paired with loose or fitted tops. Solid colours on top are best if your pants already have a print. And low to mid or even high heels help elongate your frame as baggy, printed pants can sometimes make you look shorter/broader than you actually are.

These photos were taken Friday after work (hence the cropped-face).

Dinner & Movie (& shopping)

Hello all! Hope your week has been better than mine. At long last the weekend is here! Went to the movies tonight. Had Indian for dinner first at one of our favourites, Sahanis in Hawthorn. Got 25% off the bill thanks to a voucher we had from the Red Energy Rewards book (which is kind of like the Entertainment Book but for Red Energy customers). Then off to Chadstone to watch Taken 2; decent movie, not as good as the first, of course, as is usually the case with sequels. Again we had vouchers from Hoyts rewards so the tix were half-price (cheap! cheap!). Didn't get to take photos so here's a Polyvore of my Dinner+Movie Outfit:

Boyfriend Blazer: *$35 (Factorie)

Navy and White Striped Cold Shoulder Tee: $14.95 (Valleygirl)

Red Trousers: *$25 (Zara)

Long Gold necklace with Jet Stone: *$19.95 (Stellar)

Royal Blue Mid-heel Suede Pumps: *$40 (Novo)

Black Hobo Bag: *$44.95 (Colette)

Outfit Total: $179.85

Before the movie, since I was at Chadstone, I had to go visit my favourite store - Zara. There I found one of the first things on my Spring/Summer Wishlist - Printed Pants!

Zara Trafaluc Floral Print Pants - $59.90

And although I hadn't added this on my Wishlist, I had been wanting something Green - a summery, lace dress from their TRF range fit the bill perfectly, so that somehow found its way to the checkouts, too (I used the $29 balance on my Gift Card which is all used up now)...Unfortunately, I cant find pictures of this so, will show you in an outfit post soon.

Sorry for such a short post after so long. As you can probably tell, I'm a little preoccupied. Waiting for certain things to get sorted out - things that I have no control over. But, that's life.

Have a great weekend! xoxo
