Halloween is kind of weird in Australia as we celebrate it in the middle of spring – and after daylight savings too! I love everything halloween though – especially all the fun costumes, clothing and accessories that come out for the occasion. Here are just a few of my favourites that I’ve discovered during my latest online browsing:
Just a simple edition of Ways to Wear this week. I work (waitress) in a place where I need to wear all black. I love black but wearing it everyday?? It’s pretty hard going! I’m lucky enough to be able to wear whatever hair accessories or jewellery I like so that’s a big help! (If I couldn’t I think I’d be going crazy!) I also have a lot of fun choosing different scarves, bags and outerwear to wear in so at least I feel like I’m leaving the house in something different everyday.

I have three winter coats – a black, a cobalt blue and an orange. I wear my black coat probably 3 days out of 5. I know it’s kind of weird to choose black so often when I’m wanting a change from my work black. I think it’s especially important to have a great dark neutral coat though. The black goes with black and all the colours I absolutely love to wear!
For me I feel the greatest change in my look happens when I move the position of focus. So on Monday we focus on the scarf and bag – Tuesday on the hair and the colour of the coat – Wednesday the belt and gloves – Thursday the scarf and Friday the coat and bag. I also like to wear quite different colours/patterns from the previous day too.
I’ve happily worn just my three coats throughout the entire Fall/Winter here in Australia and I’m not bored with them yet.
I like how I look on Friday best. What about you? Which one is your favourite?
A fairly simple 5 Ways this week. I came across this amazing bib necklace at BaubleBar during the week. I absolutely love the style of this! It’s got quite an exotic, playful quality but is also really modern and stylised too. I have actually seen a few similar versions about this season. This one here though is by far my favourite in terms of colour and metal.
As this piece is such a statement in itself I styled it really simply here and let it be the focus of the outfits. I chose colours that both highlighted and complimented it – pink, light blue, navy, black, silver and white (of course it would also look incredible with many others too). I love the work outfit in particular – imagine wearing this with a suit! – so fun! I think the black sets it off the most though. For me it’s the prettiest in these looks.

I just grabbed these clothes from the vaults but most should be still for sale. :)
This set was inspired by the Type 4 (Bold/Striking) Dressing Your Truth style. You can learn more about Dressing Your Truth at their siteor there is lots to see at youtube too!
How incredible are these! These are some of my favourites from my last week’s online browsing. Most of these are from Amazon if you’d believe and under $25 too! (Quite a few of the more special ones are on sale at the moment). Amazon truly has the most incredible range of earrings/jewellery – I absolutely LOVE looking there. I included a few from Nordstroms as well – these were a little more expensive though but I thought were so great I had to include them.
I think my favourites are the polka dot feathers and the blue crystals.
What about you?Which ones do you like best??
If you’re sensitive to earring hooks don’t miss out! This post has some great solutions
You might remember a post I did a week or so back – 5 Ways to Wear a Flower and Diamante Necklace.Well, while doing some window shopping over the weekend at Forever 21 I came across some similar and equally (absolutely) adorable necklaces…….
I’d actually saved more than these but some had already sold out! Forever 21 has some incredible jewellery at the moment. If you like this sort style they have heaps of earrings and bracelets to match too!
