I don’t follow fashion trends. I wear what I like and what suits me. If I like what’s ‘in’ then I guess I’m in. If not, then I’ll just be a out-of-date me. Black and Brown? It’s so 2009 apparently.
My husband and I had three children while we students (not sure how we survived, but we did), so I know all about shopping on a budget. To me, being stylish is making the best with what I have.
Skivvy: Ezibuy
Cardigan: Fashion Fair (wore it here and here)
Belt: Fashion Fair
Boots: Half price from Mika Boutique on Main Street Caloundra. Also worn here and here.
Necklace: Diva
My Tip: Don’t follow fashion. Wear what you like. Shop within your means. Be you.
What I Love Most: The necklace. It’s like wearing a little bit of happiness around my neck.

I couldnt agree more kelly, i am all for wear what you feel comfortable in. with me thats always jeans and a long shirt, im a big believer in not wearing what everyone else wears, or fitting in with the “trends”. i think you look great and you always dress very nice. your a busy mum, i take my hate off to you! God bless xo

I love the necklace but don’t know if I could pull it off – maybe I’m a bit shy in my fashion choices??! LOL

I think it would suit everyone. I just make sure what I’m wearing is fairly plain so it’s not so full on.

I think fashion trends are created by those in a position to make money from the clothes people have to buy. Combinations such as yours are classic and timeless. How can something like that date in a year? We’re not talking about assymetrical toga tops or something. It’s ridiculous. Colin
