Current state of mind … Do I or don’t I keep ridiculously expensive hoodie delivered in my favourite black box, which is now cooling off, slightly ajar but with contents intact, in my wardrobe? Spending this much on fleece cotton, destined for wearing to school pick up, netball courtside and a single more formal event – juxtaposed […]

Update your look for $0
posted by lifeaswewearit
If you’re reading this, then it’s likely you’ll agree that new clothes make us feel good, for all different reasons. But having recently been forced back into my wardrobe to ‘shop’, it’s surprising how fulfilling that can also be and how just little tweaks can make something feel fresh again. It’s true, that so often […]

Dressed Down Dressing Up
posted by lifeaswewearit
“Anyone can get dressed up and glamorous but it is how people dress in their days off that are the most intriguing.” – Alexander Wang I’m pretty sure Alexander wasn’t thinking of ‘active wear’, the fashion-scourge of the suburbs, when he said this. Sure, it is easy, fast and comfortable to pull on some lycra, sports […]

The Palermo Print Clash
posted by lifeaswewearit
Today, it was perfectly hot to wear this slip of silk that is called the Five Ways dress by the designer of brand Coco Ribbon*. It’s such a simple concept and the designer suggests 5 different ways to wear it, using the silk tie it comes with. I’ve gone bit off-piste and just tucked it […]

Slip Dress Done Three Ways
posted by lifeaswewearit
It’s hot in Sydney lately. Consistently hot. Which isn’t very Sydney, even though theoretically, it fits perfectly with it being summer. Coincidentally, slip dresses are also hot at the moment and I am a big, big fan, despite the fact that I am at an age that where thoughts of slips are often more about petticoats, or […]

posted by lifeaswewearit
So the last of the ‘trends’ wrap up – when there aren’t really trends any more, at the same time as there are so many more than I’ve included in this recent wrap up. But sticking with the original list from whowhatwear.com for now … ‘Pleated pieces’ It has really been a long time between […]

Life as I wore it
posted by lifeaswewearit
There’s still some trends to be reviewed, but I thought I’d mix it up and do an outfit post. Showing everyday outfits takes me back to the start of the blog, which was all about style when you are beyond the age when anyone gives much of a damn about what you wear, let alone what you […]

A trend to run with
posted by lifeaswewearit
Flat Mules Mules overall have been threatening to trip us up once gain for a few years now. Something just isn’t translating though, because beyond the bloggers these consistently end up in end of season sales. I’ve got a pair of Gucci from the mid 90’s that allude very much to the latest hot Gucci […]

A Pair and a Spare
posted by lifeaswewearit
Of trends, that is. Continuing with the review I’ll chunk a few together today. Unlike slip dresses, or mules (coming soon), these three feel a little more transient – they may be the fluro to the boyfriend jean, where one burnt bright (literally) and then fizzled, and the other slowly crept into the fashion vernacular and lodged itself.

Trending : Slip into something more comfortable
posted by lifeaswewearit
I wanted to do a piece on trends. But I thought, rather than originate a new list, I’d use and personalise one from whowhatwear.com. This is one of my favourite blogs for great images, shopping links and current trend editorial. There’s a lot on the list though, so I will add to the blog one trend at a […]
