Aussie Curves : Frugal $50 outfit

Running if with a really quick Aussie curves post today since I'm tired, sick (again *rolls eyes) and determined not to miss the deadline this week. So I apologise for the dodgy hair not done, no makeup since putting it on for work this morning pic.

Dress : Rivers - thrifted $12

Necklace : thrifted $6

Shoes : Target (on clearance) $9

Now looking at the pics, I think it needs a belt (not to mention a strapless bra) but firstly I didn't have one that matched and secondly I held it in kind of like an empire cut but it just looked weird as the hemline is shorter on the sides and it pulled it up too high. All said and done, I don't hate it but it's certainly not figure enhancing.

 Make sure you check out the fabulous outfits all the other curvy chicks managed to pull out for under fifty bucks.

Aussie Curves : Worthy Work

Of all weeks to do a work challenge, this was an unusual one for me.
Most days are the same day in, day out so my work attire doesn't really change too much. Our dress code is black and white (and a color of the season that each individual store chooses) and business casual. So tailored pants and a nice top and cardi are usually the go.

But this week was out of the ordinary. Firstly we had stocktake which is about a 14 hour day and it's casual clothes. Comfortable clothes. So jeans, hoodie, t-shirt and cons was the go. So casual, that I forgot to take a pic in fact. Oops. Then we had a managers meeting. And not just your run of the mill meeting, this one was a special by invite only Rainbow Theme, think like a kid fancy dress meeting. Yeah, so not in my comfort zone but what the hell, if there is anything I've learnt from Aussie Curves, it's embrace something different. So embrace I did.

Oh and a PS, if you are worried that I'm looking rather serious and almost makeupless for the start of a workday it's because they're taken at the end of each day by a five year old...who was not so happy about being the photographer.

So here's to the working week:

Cardigan : MODA for Target

Top : City Chic

Tank : K Mart

Pants : Avella for Big W

Shoes : Ruby Shoes

 





Top : City Chic

Bangle : Thrifted

Aussie Curves : Blissful Boho

This weeks challenge has been an interesting one looking at all the different ways that all the other Aussie Curvettes have interpreted Boho. Now when I think of Boho the first person that springs to mind is Nina Proudman, then secondly Nicole Richie. Both of them manage to look like what their wearing is just casually thrown together but just looks so right.

 So here's my take:

Denim Vest : Thrifted

Singlet Top : K Mart

Skirt : Thrifted

Boots : Thrifted

Necklace : Thrifted

Scarf : Thrifted
