A Week In My Wardrobe

-

Tbh, I’m running out of blog ideas that don’t revolve around my inability to have healthy relationships with men, or alcohol, so I’m turning to other bloggers for ideas, and this one seemed low effort… so here goes.

Sunday
I have two variations of weekend outfit, jeans and cute top, or jeans and plain top. It doesn’t really vary much from there, and who doesn’t love jeans? This outfit is interesting because it spans almost a decade of my fashion choices. The newest piece, the shirt, was bought in Myer just a few weeks ago, the jeans about three years ago in City Chic and the cardigan in Target more than nine years ago. How’s that for a sustainable wardrobe? Although... this photo is in the K-Mart change rooms, not exactly a hallmark of sustainability. 



Monday
This dress is a new purchase, bought on a whim, on sale, without even trying it on. It’s a Trent Nathan wrap dress, and in theme with my new obsession navy and white polka dots. There are three other dresses ridiculously similar to this in my wardrobe. Yes, I need them all. This picture (along with majority of my outfit selfies) was taken in my office lift, because it’s the only full length mirror in my life. See if you can spot how close I get to Level 1 before I get into dangerous, getting caught selfie-ing territory!



Tuesday
Another day, another lift selfie. This outfit is fun, it’s a dress from Tokito and cardigan from Review. The reason it’s fun is my bestie owns the same dress in a slightly different pattern, and somehow we always rock up to things both wearing the dress. One time, we both came to trivia in the same dress, same boots, same scarf and same cardigan. Twinsies! I wouldn’t have it any other way. In this pic, I’m also wearing the greatest purchase of all time, my sneaky gum boots. They look like fancy patent leather boots, nope, plastic gum boots to keep my feet dry! Winning at life over here.



Wednesday
Wrap-Dress Wednesday, well every day is wrap dress day for me at the moment. This emerald green City Chic number is dear to my heart because it’s purchase embodies my life right now. I’m trying to save money to buy a house, so I do this thing where I shop online, add heaps of things to my shopping cart and then exit before buying anything. Except the other night I forgot to exit when I was done, and so drunken me decided to buy 5 dresses and a pair of shoes at 2am while waiting for a cab. Let me tell you, I was so surprised when that package came in the mail. But drunk me has great taste, so I went with it.



Thursday
Another sustainable outfit choice, rocking a skirt that’s almost five years old and still going strong. Although if you look closely you’ll see that it’s stapled almost two inches smaller by my work pass because it technically doesn’t fit me anymore – the downside to getting healthy. The skirt Basque, and the jumper from Review, and the picture taken in the Myer change rooms because my name is Karen and I have a shopping addiction. 



Friday
I didn’t go to the office today, so there’s no lift vanity selfie, but instead a gym selfie. Here I have paired Running Bare tights with a Cotton On Body long sleeve grey shirt. I’ve accessorised with a face so red it could control traffic. I’ve been exercising steadily for more than eight months now, but still always end up looking like a beetroot for hours after… at least I know my circulation is still working.



Saturday
Winery tour day! I wanted to look stylish, but be comfortable, do you think I pulled it off? Here I am wearing my go to, jeans and a plain top, but jazzing it up with a poncho from H&M and accessorising with two freshly purchased bottles of Rosé. This outfit was so comfortable it may be repeated a few more times across future weekends! Plus, I bought this poncho years ago from H&M and never got into it, glad to see it getting some love now. Also appreciate how white I am in the light of day, that photo's not edited, I am just a human light reflector. 



Well, there you have it. What it looks like to be me for a week. In summary, cute but exceptionally vain.

Review: Various Sydney Gym's

Have you ever been so cheap you’ve done something ridiculous just to save money? I am the kind of person who only eats fruit Monday-Friday because it’s provided in my office. I am the kind of person who will actively leave the house needing to poop so I can use the free toilet paper at the train station, or my office, or wherever I am going. I am the kind of person who went to gyms for months, but didn’t pay a cent in membership fees. I got to thinking after being aggressively handed a flier by a man in an orange morph suit one morning, who actually uses all these free gym trials? Given the volume of fliers, there must be hundreds of places you could do free trials at. After some brief research, I found 10 gyms convenient to me, and worked out that I could effectively work out for free for several months. The ultimate cheapskate scheme. This is not my first foray into cheapskate behaviour. I’ve been known to see how long I can go without grocery shopping, eating pasta and var...

TIFU

Today I fucked up. Bad. But hilariously. Earlier this week, I was reading an article about the data Facebook stores on it's users. The article goes into detail about how to download it, and then the author reviews the process and talks about the types of data Facebook has on him. It popped up in my LinkedIn feed while I was having my morning coffee at my desk. As I read it, I thought 'how interesting', and proceeded to follow the steps to download my own Facebook data. It was about 1GB, so I waited patiently while it downloaded. I was presented with a zip file, sorted into a variety of folders labelled things like 'pictures' and 'messages'. I started to look through and was curious to delve deeper into what was held in it. I watched a random video file of a board game from Christmas last year, listened to an audio message of my best friend mewing like a cat and quickly scrolled through the thousands of contacts listed. However, my coffee was empty and i...

Requiem for a Mindfuck

I am always cold, my feet get so cold they hurt, and then I can't sleep. So I over-dress and over-blanket myself (I've been known to wear my ugg boots to bed), all in an effort to get warm. It works, but then I get so hot during the night that then I have bizarrely vivid dreams. Like, all the time. I started keeping a dream journal, but it got too overwhelming reading back over it (much like this blog, ha). There are some dreams though, that have stayed with me far longer than is useful for my mental state. Of course there are the childhood nightmares. You know, like the one where the alien comes through your window so many times in a row, that you have to swap bedrooms with your sister to try and escape the fear. Or the one where your next door neighbours house blows up in such a horrifying explosion that it causes you to have insomnia for longer than you care to admit No? Just me? Other dreams have stayed with me for sheer ridiculousness. An alarming number feature me mee...
