Fleece

This winter, I'm totally getting on board the fleecy jumper trend. 

Looking like you're in primary school again has never been so chic. 

I don't know about you but I lived in a bottle green fleece throughout primary school and also in the first few years of high school until we were able to wear the seniors jacket which was a bomber style jacket. 

Are we seeing a trend here? 

Fleece jumpers and bomber jackets are so in right now, looking back, I don't think they ever left.

I've been so obsessed with fleece jumpers ever since I saw the Acne Misty and Bird Fleece sweaters. 

Acne is synonymous for their seemingly basic designs with a trendy twist in the details. They also achieve that with a fresh colour palette they inject into each season. While pastel has been huge the past few years, I'm noticing it becoming muted. Muted pinks, dull baby blues and tawny beiges. 

I can't get enough of these colours. It's the perfect way of injecting colour into a chromophobes wardrobe, but I am the exact opposite of that. 

I love my pops of colour! 

Though I cringe thinking back to the neon yellow and neon pink skater dresses I use to parade in. 

 It was trendy at the time, I swear!

This fleece jumper is just a Gildan Fleece I picked up from eBay for $20. 

I found them to have the best colour range and this was the exact pink I was looking for. 

I had to re-work the shoulders to make it suit me. 

The original cut was too billowy and it just swallowed my frame. 

Those taller and leaner would probably be able to get away with the boxy cut.

If you're in Australia, one of the best places to get a fleece jumper is Lowes.

They are known to sell school uniform colours and I'm proud to say I've been buying my jumpers there since primary school.

They're cheap as chips and there's a wide variety of colours.

Enjoy your weekend!

White + Red + Stripes

I've mentioned before that I will essentially be living in white for the warmer months. What better way to repel the deathly stinging rays of the Australian summer than white. The past few months now I have been collecting a lot of white tops, looking back at them I notice a theme, they're all soft and billowy and have some sort of crochet or lace on them. I guess I'm going to look a lot like a hippy pharmacist, I'm down with that!

This dress was born from a culmination of frustration and bad luck. I found a similar dress at Zara, after walking away from it and telling myself I didn't need it, I eventually went back to try and get it.  However the material was so thin that there was a hole or a pull on every single one of them and I ain't parting with my hard earned moulah for that, ok maybe not hard earned, just earned!

I searched the interweb and practically every website known to a crazy online shopper and found nothing that I loved in my price range. So I trekked it to my local Korean fabric shop, bought this white material for $4 per metre and sat down and finally used my brain to create a pattern. There was definitely some trial and error as I went. Luckily, I perceive myself to be wider than I am so there was a lot of room to make mistakes and just take them in towards the end. Pretty chuffed about the end result!

Plus how amazingly cute are these Soludos striped espadrilles, I can't get enough of them! I love the whimsy of being able to tie a bow at the back plus they are super comfy!

Hope you all had a great Sunday! xxx
