GO ON AND DRESS LIKE A MAN

Pin It Now!

I’ve always have a soft spot for Penny from the Big Bang Theory and the relentless jokes about her lack of femininity (though the irony couldn’t be more effective, seeing as she was cast as the unattainable object of desire throughout the early seasons). My lack of appreciation for skirts, heels and brushing my hair back in my school days also made me the butt of similar jokes. However, try as I may, I could never become the girly girl that, as a kid, I thought was the standard for a girl. But pure femininity is not for everyone, after all, and to this day, nothing’s more comfortable for me than wearing what the boys wear. Slouchy shirts, wrecked jeans and stuff that’s so shapeless that they make all your lovely lady lumps disappear. Of course, I do throw in a particular shade of pink and a random flower bouquet when the mood suits. And note: the lacy camisole.

Weekends are for brunches, and recently I’ve been rediscovering Canberra’s Kingston area. I hear that too adorable for words Penny University was opened by a couple of Canberran university students who were just like ‘f*** it’, and bought a cafe. You must try the Croissant French Toast, you’ll be in heaven.

Equipment Signature Silk Shirt Three Ways

Pin It Now!
I’m a self-confessed button-up shirt hoarder, and may be biased, but I’m a firm believer that everyone should own (at least one) basic silk shirt. A versatile button up should have a loose fit, and be long enough to be worn both tucked in and out. Here’s how I wore my Equipment Signature Silk Shirt, three ways.

Look #1: Slouchy Chic

Button-ups and mini-skirts were made to go together. For this casual look, I tucked out for a slouchy chic look, and finished up with killer heels and a contrasting satchel worn as a clutch. This is an occasion neutral look that will take you from lunching to a night out.

Another pair of printed pants

Living life could be boiled down to a never ending quest for that elusive balance between variables and forces – fast and slow, greed and generosity, pride and humility… In our materialistic modern society, it seems we have a new balance to strike, one between being trendy and a fashion victim. It’s the fine art of being the first to jump onto the current fad then rejecting those fads immediately as it becomes recognized as mainstream. Personally, I am completely resigned to being in the fashion victim extreme. Show me any credible evidence that something is in vogue and I’ll go out and buy 10 of them. Printed pants? I’m up to my sixth pair.
