OOTD - Cotton and Boots - Aussie Curves Catch-up

Happy Cotton Anniversary to me!!


This has to be one of my favourite Wedding photos, we are doing a 'hongi' a traditional Maori custom. A lot of people tend to get his wrong in photos and at times looks too staged, however I think this is perfect, natural and the love is definitely overflowing in this shot.

Two years is huge these days, I look forward to many more.

Even thought yesterday was a special day for me the weather was horrible here in Auckland, grey skys and it was windy, so this called for a totally different look. I have been wearing a lot of dresses this Summer and to be honest I haven't had so many dresses I have loved to be able to choose and wear a different one everyday for two to three weeks, so I have been enjoying it. 

Yesterday's look was far from a dress, but I did want to show off my $5 boots, I'm a boots girl for sure, I love them short boots, tall boots, medium boots lol, but I have never had YELLOW boots, or paid $5 for a pair either. I noticed boots was also on my Aussie Curves catch up list sooooo, VOILA!!!


Obviously I'm at work, I got my workmate to take some shots this time. So I felt like I was really rocking this look yesterday. I love this BLUE peplum jacket from City Chic I have the same jacket in four different colours, they are great for work. I decided to dark chiffon layers down the middle, but a bit of bling at the top with my necklace and I love the fact that the buttons break the darkness a bit and my gorgeous YELLOW boots. The are definitely not everyone's cuppa tea, but they do look gorgeous one and sometimes you just have to know how to wear them. 

The boots were cheap because they were on the faulty table, they had a few black scuff marks on the suede, but it didn't take much to brush the scuff marks out. Absolute bargain.

OOTD - Orange - Aussie Curves Catch-ups

If there is one thing I love about being a librarian it is being free to dress as you please. There are no strict rules and no dress codes, I think the only expectation is that we dress tidy. There maybe expectations from the public about what librarians should be dressed like, as the normal idea of a librarian is usually an old lady who wears glasses and walks around telling everyone to be quiet.

Libraries are changing all over the world and so are the librarians. This is great for me as I get to be as fashionable as I want to be and never feel out of place. Sadly today's photos were not taken at the library as I didn't have my phone on me. So when I dropped my nephew off to boarding school this afternoon I got some photos taken of my outfit under the trees outside of his dorm. Luckily they were all at dinner. But I was still fast because it was too hot to stand around and I didn't want to embarrass my nephew if they came back hehe.

Now my outfit of the day was planned and deliberate, I have been on holiday for six weeks and today was my first day back. My outfit planned because I wanted to do a Catch up Aussie Curves post as well. I will continue to do this until I have caught up, the added bonus is that I will have a reason to post on my blog everyday. Yay!!!

I love this dress it is a great Summer dress, nice and cool and I am a big fan of chiffon in the Summer months. I also really love this combination of Orange and Blue, I know the challenge was Orange but I thought these Blue accents just gave it that something extra.
