Outfit Today: Black and Yellow

Well that’s a bit of a lie because it’s more black and beige.

This photo makes my blazer look more yellow! A very pale yellow but yellow none the less!

I’m wearing my ‘new’ (aka stole from Mum’s wardrobe) beige (or Yellow for the purposed of this blog post’s title) blazer, black skinny ‘second skin’ jeans and black shirt. I really love this black shirt because it’s a nicer option then a t-shirt and it also fits really nicely. It was a little European Zara purchase a few years ago and I have gotten some good mileage out of it.

I was a wee bit tired this am because I had the City to Surf yesterday, so I didn’t attempt to do anything crazy as I was sure if I was going to get it wrong it would be today.

What do you think of my ‘safe’ clothing option today?

Do you think my blazer can fall into a weird yellow category?

My staple boots!

So who is loving Sydney at the moment?!?! The weather today was horrible. The rain and wind were insane, and by insane I mean INSANE! I had to farewell 2 beloved umbrellas (well not really beloved, but more kept my hair dry), one of which I bought today due to the demise of my other day.

As such I thought it would be a good day to pull out my boots! I love boots and they are great for the rain (I’m not really a gumboot sort of girl, reminds me too much of the country side/farm land).

Aren’t they awesome!

I really do love these boots. I got them a few years ago and I have to say they would have to be one of the best investments I’ve ever made; I’ve worn them to death. I like that they are knee height because they are the perfect length for tucking in my jeans (note the photo). They also have a classic look to them so they pretty much go with everything.

I teamed these awesome boots with my red jeans (also love these jeans) and a black tee; I know me in a black tee, shocking!

So it turns out wearing happy clothes and shoes does put you in a good mood!

What do you think of my black boots? 

Do you think they work well with the red jeans? (Please say yes because I wear this combo a fair bit and I would hate to think I’ve been looking like a loser)

Do you have a staple pair of boots?

Outfit today

So as I mentioned in my previous blog post today, my morning wasn’t very crash hot. For 1 thing I woke up late. Well that’s actually a lie…my alarm clock went off, but I rolled over and fell back asleep for another 40 mins (good thing I always give myself extra time of a morning to mosey around)!

As such I pretty much pulled on the first thing I could get my hands on. I didn’t really think too much about my outfit until I got to work, and I have to say I did pretty good considering I didn’t put much thought into it.

Taken with Instagram in the bathroom at work. Tip: If you do happen to take a photo of yourself in the work bathroom ensure that no one comes in, or if they do act liking you are calling someone or you just look like a freak…

I’m wearing my uber-comfortable boyfriend jeans (because I wore them to uni yesterday and they were the first pair of pants that I could get my hands on) which I got for a steal at Just Jeans. I’m teaming them with a plain black tee (a wardrobe staple of mine and I have about 6 of them) and a vintage blazer (which was my mum’s in like the 80’s). If you know me, you know that I love a good blazer and have about 12 of them, so again was a quick reach into the wardrobe. But doesn’t a blazer just dress up an outfit! It really is a fail-safe! If you don’t own a blazer I highly recommend you get yourself one, in black.

And finally, the cherry on-top, my awesomely awesome Steve Madden clog-style platform pumps!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE these shoes (and not just because I purchased them in New York). They are comfortable, a little bit edgy, high and just put me in a good mood!

Nothing like some power heels to cheer up your day.

I reluctantly ask what you think of my outfit today?

If you hate it, please keep in mind I’ve had a very bad morning and please don’t make me cry at my desk this afternoon.
