Spring inspiration

Spring inspiration

Rag & Bone pullover, Chinti and Parker polka dot shirt, T by Alexander Wang leather skirt, Topshop heels, Alexander Wang emile tote, House of Harlow ring, ASOS earrings, Opt for Opulence bracelet With the 30×30 challenge almost up, I’ve been stocking up on inspiration for what to wear for the rest of Spring. If it isn’t obvious yet, I’m definitely crushing on the colour grey, in particular grey gem earrings and bracelets. To wear, I’m thinking polka dots, mixed in with muted tones of blush, grey and black, and perhaps the odd splash of mint, tailored shorts with blouses tucked…

B&W

Equipment sleeveless blouse, Topshop skinny jeans, T by Alexander Wang cardigan, Vintage boots, Alexander Wang emile tote, Marc by Marc Jacobs bow ID bracelet I hate to admit it, but I’m beginning to count down the days until I have free reign over the rest of my wardrobe. It’s the same thing with when I’m running on a treadmill, I start staring at the clock, counting down until the finish, as if it couldn’t come soon enough.

Today I’m flying off to Canberra, for a bit of a long weekend as my little sister is turning 21! For any trip, long or short, I have a wee habit of listing all the items I’d like to take with me, and cutting it down to the bare minimum.

Thirds

Kate Sylvester Top, Karen Walker skirt, bracelet & necklace, Glassons cardigan, Alexander Wang shoes, Proenza Schouler PS11 bag Almost one third of the way through the thirty x thirty challenge, which has so far been a breeze. Although being only nine days through, I guess there is little for me to complain about and I have been realising the opportunity to wear things I love over and over again.
