outfit | don't rain on my parade

Now Terry Sweater, Sweet Acacia Lace Dress (worn underneath), Topshop Sheer Tights, Forever 21 Boots and Urban Outfitters Watch

When everyone thinks of the Australian summer, they would immediately think extremely warm weather, perfect for the beach right? That certainly hasn't been the case for the past week - it has been raining. Yes, raining. For the first time in months, I have been able to play with layers (and about time too!). I chose to stick to a monochromatic palette for this outfit so I could transition the lace dress into something more weather appropriate. I layered it with a terry sweater to create a rather casual-cool look. Paired with some sheer tights and ankle boots and I was set. This weather and outfit has made me rather excited for the upcoming autumn/winter season. It is only three weeks away and fall collections have been making their way into stores - I am more than excited. And excuse me for the Funny Girl reference in the title, I just had to.

outfit | pastels, stripes & temperamental weather

Forever 21 Sweater, DIY collar, Cotton On Jeans, Hot Options by Target Heels, Rubi Shoes Satchel, Urban Outfitters Watch

Lately, it has been difficult dressing for Sydney's temperamental weather. It's either nice and cool, then blazing hot then suddenly large thunderstorms loom over us; so it has definitely been a challenge trying to dress for what it seems fifty weather conditions all in one day. Since spring is a transitional season with lots of late afternoon rain, I wanted to pull some of my light sweaters out again but still try to incorporate some colour for the spring and what a better way to do it with some lilac denim! I also wore a DIY collar I made just so I didn't have so many layers on. Hopefully, this outfit would help me survive Sydney's temperamental weather!
