Styling with Stripes

 

 

Glassons merino stripe top: From $39.95 to $20. CottonOn denim shorts. H&M knit cardigan, and boots. Longchamp Le Pliage shopping tote. MAC lipstick: Girl About Town.

I'm already wearing 3 layers of clothing (tank top + merino long sleeves top + thick knit cardigan) BUT I still feel so cold! At the end of the day I took out my North Face fleece jacket (that explains the big tote) and that made it all better...and warmer. Really can't wait for Winter to be over. So for now I'll just enjoy layering my clothes til Spring comes!

I love love love accessories (...especially when it's on sale)! I'm liking now this Australian brand Forever New. Their accessories as well as clothes are just so fab and chic! When it comes to fashion, you don't have to buy all those expensive real jewelries to be stylish. (But if you can afford it go ahead and splurge) If NOT, then it's alright to own just a few real ones and make the rest of your accessories ---> fashion statement pieces that are affordable.

Winter Wear

Rubi tan boots: From $54.95 to $10(!). Burberry puffer jacket (hand-me-down from my dearest Mom). Zara knit white top. Candie's denim leggings. MAC lipstick: To Catch a Sailor (Hey, Sailor! collection)

It's already winter in NZ. Good thing it doesn't snow where I live, but it surely rains most of the time plus it's windy! 

My winter must haves: a pair of comfy boots plus a fab statement jacket/coat, and I'm all good. I just keep the rest basic (eg. plain knitted top, leggings, etc).
