One Month of Workwear Outfit Ideas for the Transitional Season

One Month of Workwear Outfit Ideas for the Transitional Season

After a few months of wearing sweaters with skinny jeans and trousers on repeat, I can’t help but be excited for Spring weather to finally have arrived. To kick off the start of the transitional season, I thought today I’d share a month of workwear outfit ideas, which hopefully will give you some inspiration as we head into a new week. Unlike my previous ‘month in outfits’, I haven’t centred these looks around themes. Instead, I’ve opted to highlight some of the key work wardrobe basics that I’ve found to be the most versatile this time of year. The same…

Naadam Cashmere Sweater Review

Naadam Cashmere Sweater Review

The creme de la creme of my winter knitwear collection starts with a ’c’. ‘C’ for cashmere. And there are three things I tend to look for; good quality, timeless design, and a price that won’t break the bank. For the last few years, three brands have been my ‘go-to’ for the classic crew neck cashmere: Everlane, Grana, and Mott & Bow.

So after getting numerous recommendations to try out Naadam, whose cashmere is priced at just $75…

Why you need a denim jacket in your wardrobe

Why you need a denim jacket in your wardrobe

As winter is starting to wind down in Sydney, I’ve already turned my mind to my spring wardrobe. I’m a total summer baby at heart, so it’s probably little surprise I’ve spent the last two months wishing I could wear my favourite spring style staples on repeat. It’s also during the transitional season that I start to think about how I can give my closet a small refresh with a few key pieces; outerwear being a major contender as it’s the third and finishing touch to an outfit – bar accessories, of course. I’m thrilled to be partnering up with…

Wearing lately: Rollneck sweaters, skinny jeans & duster coats

Wearing lately: Rollneck sweaters, skinny jeans & duster coats

The past week feels like it’s flown by in the blink of an eye. Working freelance, no two days ever look *quite* the same, and a recent influx of projects has been keeping me very busy. Clearly, trying to manage my work-life balance is still something I’m trying to figure out, but putting boundaries in place – like wrapping up the day at 6.00pm, and working less on weekends – has definitely helped. Wearing Joseph rollneck sweater (affordable here), Grana skinny jeans (old but love these as an alternative), Kindersalmon coat, Linea Paolo slingback flats, Phillip Lim mini pashli bag,…
