| Do you think racer striped pants are slimming or unflattering? My opinion – both. Depends on which angle your stand! Give it a label if you wish, sports luxe, dressy track pants, but I think there’s something really cool about pants with stripes down the side. Maybe it’s just like with cars, the stripe makes them look like they’d go faster. |
| Perhaps it’s because I’m such a trend victim, but now that the embellished button up shirt has pretty much taken over the world, I can’t remember when the humble shirt didn’t come with skulls, spikes, or big jewels attached. |
A lot of people I’ve met overseas have commented that Australians always dress really casually, with singlet, short short and sandal ensembles being somewhat of a cultural uniform. Do we really have a choice? Summer high temperatures in Australia are always all over the news. The constant challenge (apart from avoiding bush fires) is finding ways to stay cool. While I’m a proponent for the staying inside at all times strategy, when venturing outside in the summer, I’ve found a light jacket like this kimono to be amazingly versatile.

It’s become too easy to pull on my 10+ year old Doc Martins that are also 10 years out of style, and took the same amount of time to wear in and feel as comfortable as the brand sales pitch claimed they were. My Doc Martins are my longest surviving pair of shoes, both because of its incredible durability and my inexplicable reluctance to throw them away. Perhaps it was the lingering guilt for having conned my parents into buying them for me in my high school years.

The tropical print has had a bad run since the 90’s, but thanks to the visionaries at exciting Sydney based label VIPARO, the tropical print is chic and fun again. I love how wild and whimsical this print looks. It’s part island, part jungle, with a flamingo twist. The diaphanous fabric itself is so beautifully light and cool.

It’s funny how outfits just build themselves sometimes. So I decided it was perfect weather to wear my new candy coloured harem pants that I picked up from China. At the time I was wearing this ice cream T-shirt I bought from FELT ages ago but decided it didn’t go with anything I had, so it just became an around the house shirt. Pulling on the pants, I suddenly realised the two pieces were practically made for each other. So I’ve taken my ice cream T out of retirement.
