Stripes are everywhere and while I’m reluctant to do what everyone else is doing I was inspired to don this monochrome zip front skirt. It was a bargain from the factory outlets a few years ago. Cotton On is currently selling striped, stretch skirts for $5: they have short and knee length options. The black…
This stretchy cotton dress is fabulous for summer but today I thought, why not wear it in winter too! It cuts right in at the back, requiring a good crossover bra – there’s nothing worse than bra straps on show. I love how it graduates high at the front to accentuate legs, and is long…
Dresses with sleeves are firmly in the fashion spotlight, which is great news for anyone self conscious about their arms. Short sleeves, three-quarter and full length are all the rage. They add a ladylike edge to the very short dresses they are being paired with – terrific if you want to show off your legs!…
White jeans inject fabulous freshness into a winter wardrobe. And I love my $30 Jay Jay’s with this cobalt knit. I’m right into layering at the moment and have taken a particular fancy to cropped jackets (I’ll show you a few soon) and vests. This Jeanswest denim vest with copper buttons was only $5, leaving…

It’s great fun mixing different textures and velvet and fur are no exception. Cosy and rich for winter I was snug all day long in this. With longer skirts the look du jour I pulled out this crushed velvet, multi-tiered skirt, which has been taking a back seat in my wardrobe for many years! The…
I rocked this shiny little number to church and back on Sunday. And it was very fitting given our awesome worship team makes it more like a rock concert! But I didn’t outshine world-renowned landscape photographer and guest speaker, Ken Duncan, who wore a striking shiny turquoise jacket and brought me to tears with his…
This groovy little grey and black dress is sleeveless and can be worn in summer and winter. On trend with its panel of black sequins, I picked it up at the factory outlets for around $50 a couple of years ago. The military look is still making waves and this cropped black jacket ($10) was…
