Last outfit for MBFWA and although it's day four, I thought I may as well save the best for last. The week before Fashion Week I started getting second round invites to shows and realised that I may need more than just the two outfits I had initially planned. So I did a last minute trip to Desordre (always a fail safe option as long as you have the money) and came across this lone Aje sequin skirt that I had tried on last year but decided to pass it up because I had no occasion to wear it (unless you think uni is an acceptable place to wear anything sequin). But this time MBFWA was the reason, the perfect reason might I add, to add a little sparkle. At the time I tried it on with this muscle singlet and being me had to tone down the girly feel the sequins give off - I loved them so much together I just ended up buying the entire outfit.

Luckily for me I was also able to raid the giant SW jewellery box (aka our showroom) and pulled these two amazing pieces from the SS12 collection, The Wanderlust (which will be released in the next few months). The rose gold, blush tones and gunmetal complimented the dusty pink shade of my skirt and tee perfectly. You saw it here first... but shh!

Injecting a bit of Man Repeller humour into my outfit posts (because fashion shouldn't always be serious!)

PS. 200th post! Thanks for your continuous support :)
