Appearing Soon

As we slowly head into the warmer seasons I have been attempting to behave like a grown up and sensibly consider my upcoming wardrobe needs!  Have I been successful?  Maybe! The heart wants what the heart wants. I feel pretty confident these will work well with my existing wardrobe, and they are winging their way to me as I type.

My love affair with Metalicus continues...

Metalicus Marlini Drape Top currently on sale and available in black, caramel and cobbletone

Layer'd Origami Tee Dress in Pewter availble from Birdsnest.  Also available in stone and tangerine.

Layer'd is a label that is quite new to me.  Discovered them while browsing Birdsnest.  Some of their pieces are definitely too colourful for me and I am now eyeing of this gorgeous white tunic below.

Layer'd Soft Pleat Tunic

Also patiently hanging in my closet waiting for Spring is this Metalicus dress.  It is a blend of Merino Wool and Polyamide and feels beautiful against the skin and the "one size" stretches gently fitting to the body.  Lookin forward to layering with this and expect it will actually work through most seasons.

Metalicus Gene Drape Tank Dress, currently sold out online but may be available in store.

Have you bought anything new in anticipation of the coming change of season?

Nothing Exotic!

I love this outfit combination and wish I could tell you that each garment is by some fabulous designer... but they are not:)

I am often pleasantly surprised that interesting designs, in reasonable quality garments, can be found at varying price points.  Australian Target can be a treasure trove on occasion.  Is there anywhere you occasionally browse that surprises you? If so, what did you come home with?

Statement!

As an alternative to an all black outfit, I like the idea of a simple black foundation layered over with a 'statement' piece, usually still in one of my neutrals.

T

 

This sleeveless jacket was one of those wonderfully unexpected finds.  It's warm, can be draped a few different ways and has a cool raw edge.  The collar is quite big and bulky, and since taking these photos I got to it with the scissors and have trimmed it a little. I liked the look of the bulk at the neck but it just wasn't comfortable... and I don't do uncomfortable.   I particularly like garments like this because I feel they transcend trend and have more longevity in my closet.

Is longevity important to you when selecting pieces to add to your wardrobe?
