off duty.

Armor Lux striped top, J Brand boyfriend jeans, Oroton sandals, Sabre sunglassses, Molten Store necklace, Benah bag.

Outfit number three and I'm motivated to maintaining my resolution. My striped breton, boyfriend jeans, cross shoulder bag and sandals have been on high rotation throughout January. Yes I know this look would translate 100 times better on Miranda Kerr, but hey I'm doing the best with what I've got. It's funny because after looking at the product description on Shopbop, I realise the distressed patch on my knee is really supposed to hit mid thigh. Petite power!

I was gutted when my only day off with Jack which we had planned as a beach day ended up as tops of 23 but alas we went to Bondi, ate some burritos and froyo and took some photos. This is just one of those no fuss, mindless wardrobe choices that I'm constantly reaching for went I need to look semi-presentable. Other than that I've resulted to wearing my gym gear while I'm out doing boring things (yes I've become one of of those women) like posting speeding fines, buying groceries and dropping off dry cleaning. It's actually really effective because part of the pain of going to work out is getting ready so at least if I'm dressed for it I'm half way there.

What's your no fuss outfit?

Now this is a hawaiian shirt. Plans change last minute and I found myself attending a 90's themed party with no costume. Is it sad that even though I grew up in the decade, followed every bad fashion trend possible (Jelly bracelets, skirts over pants, plastic tattoo chokers), and lived for pop culture - that I couldn't even remember what was quintessential 90's fashion. Enter this incredible vintage hawaiian shirt from Cream on Crown with everyone's favourite summer fruits plastered over the front and back. I didn't even care that it wasn't exactly 90's (Or is it?), it's just that damn cool. Tie a jumper around my waist and you have some semblance of Melrose Place/ 90210 teen fershunz. 

I wore this ensemble to Homebake on Saturday with April, a celebration of home grown music and comedy (loved seeing San Cisco and Ball Park Music) and though it would be somewhat appropriate given our history with hawaiian shirts ie. Mambo/ surfie culture (Do people in Hawaii even wear hawaiian shirts? I am full of questions today) to put a girly spin on the festival look teamed with my favourite denim shorts (I know they are on the verge of denim underpants but I love them so. Should probably stop throwing them into the washing machine though - they fray and therefore seem to get shorter by the week). 

And after months of sitting, waiting, wishing, I finally found the perfect cross body shoulder bag which was a steal from the Benah sample sale. I am also the proud owner of a black leather belt (yes it took me this long). Must stop buying things for myself and start buying Christmas presents for everyone else. Tis the season for giving after all.

Just under a week to go until I draw the winner for the Lioness LBD giveaway x
