So, I had a big pile of clothes to sell. Some of which were practically new. (Hopefully I’ll learn from those mistakes!) I had jackets, tops, jeans, shoes, and bags. I decided to sell them on Trademe because Designer Wardrobe’s fees were significantly higher, and I don’t have Facebook (Although FB Marketplace seems to be more relevant for free stuff…
Unfortunately, my previous post got lost somehow! Anyway, it was an introduction to my inspiration Christina Mychas and my pledge to shop less in 2023. I’m drastically reducing my wardrobe items to only those I love and can actually get use and joy out of. It’s been a month, so how am I doing? The Declutter Process It took more…
I’m back, in orange! That’s because I just found this brand new Marcs silk orange dress in the Milford Hospice! It’s similar to this orange dress that I have worn often since I scored it second hand, and it’s also not the first time I’ve got a brand new Marcs dress at the Milford one. (Someone who is my size…
Today I’ve taken inspiration from people all around the world, including our very own Hillary Barry, who have been dressing UP in lock down Fridays Of course I jumped at the chance to crack out the formal gear, because one of my biggest bugbears is that no one dresses up to go out anymore!

What unprecedented times we are living in! Being inside in my bubble has been both relaxing, noisy, stressful, loud, all at the same time. It’s hard not to feel like the days all run into each other, but it’s been amazing how everyone is pulling together. Below are some great tips that can help you stay well in this situation…

It provides an outlet for your creativity with dressing, an inexpensive way to experiment with something that you might not have previously considered trying on. For me, I hardly ever wear clothing with frills. I’m also not a huge fan of print as I…
I fluked it on Friday at the Torbay Salvation Army, I was driving past to post some Christmas presents and decided just to ‘pop in’. Just goes to show you never know what you might find on a whim! I got a silk Andrea Moore Tee for $8, and this off the shoulder Dotti top for $7 What a score…
I’ve always avoided jumpsuits. Like I normally do with every ‘trend’ that comes back around. It’s kind of like I stand back and ‘observe’ a trend colour or silhouette for a while, before I try and see if it suits me. I think my mind has to get used to it enough to try it and not feel like I’m…
Actually no, it’s that mustard colour that makes me look jaundiced. But hey, just because a colour is ‘in’ doesn’t mean it suits you. I suit more bright summer colours so this orange works for me. I wouldn’t normally pair colours with black, but pow! This Savemart $17 Decjuba orange dress looks great, and following on from my last post,…
