I’ve got some errands to run today and I’m just not feeling like getting dressed.
I know right, I bet you have days like this too. I’ve put on a few kilos and I’m feeling bloated, when the cooler weather hits I turn into a hungry caterpillar and can’t get enough carbs and comfort foods in my gob. Woops! It’s ok though because I’ve grabbed my shape wear knickers and some comfy chic pieces.
My Harlow jeans* always make me feel great and darker denim is just a little more ‘dressed up’ and polished. I’ve added my statement MIMCO necklace with some gold for luxe and white leather for contrast. I could have added something a little more simple but the outfit is understated so I like to add a little ‘something extra’ in the jewellery department.
A pop of leopard and gold ballet…comfy and chic. I always reach for leopard print on my feet when I need a lift.
This reversible cape was an investment piece (over $200) when I purchased it a few years back but it’s served me well. I knew it would because I love grey and black…der, and a hood. Who doesn’t love a hood?
The ‘flash me x back’ tee* from Harlow is so soft, has that little extra sleeve length and some fun detailing at the back…oh and is currently on sale!
Right, first stop is coffee then I’m off to pick up a ‘Fiddle Leaf Fig’ plant. Do you have one? got any tips for keeping it alive? I’m not very green thumbed.
What’s your favourite ‘go to’ casual chic outfit for running errands?
Til next time,
Jen x

May 26, 2015 at 9:23 amLooking gorgeous. I’ve been having a few issues with swelling in my hands and legs. As a result most days I don’t really feel like getting dressed at the moment. I think I might need to put together a couple of outfit options for when I’m feeling this way. Great post!

May 26, 2015 at 9:30 amGood idea Raychael and I know how you feel. When I’m like this my whole body feels tight and bloated and my scars start screaming. It’s these days when pyjamas look like a good option but getting dressed always makes me feel better. x

June 1, 2015 at 6:47 pmYou look amazing, love that cape and those gorgeous flats. I’m having a heap of pain lately from my arthritis when I try to wear heels, even my boots that haven’t been a problem before so I’m on the lookout for a few pairs of super pretty but comfortable flats that have some personality. For some reason I’ve always found flat shoes harder to wear in without blisters so it’s a bit of a challenge.
