Sale purchase: Tibi cotton peplum top

Sale purchase: Tibi cotton peplum top

Sale season is in full swing, and I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t been tempted at least a few times to mindlessly browse. It’s a trap I’d find myself falling in constantly during my early twenties. Justifying a pair of $300 (USD) shoes because they’re on sale! And I figured, it was the best time to really “upgrade” my wardrobe. So instead of sharing a weekly wishlist this Friday, I thought I’d talk about a recent sale purchase instead.

OOTD: Chunky cashmere & straight leg pants

OOTD: Chunky cashmere & straight leg pants

An outfit from a couple weeks’ back, but pretty representative of one of my go-to looks for our (very) mild winter here in Sydney. A nice cosy knit (usually with a tee or long-sleeve layered underneath); a tailored trouser which cuts off just above the ankle; and a smart shoe. If I’m honest, I have to say that I haven’t worn those Gucci loafers as much as anticipated when I bought them. And over the past couple weeks, I’ve been making a real concerted effort to get them into regular rotation. The main issue I was running into was that…
