Fashionista, Who Me?

Today, I bring you a week in the life of Jaiimay. It is pretty obvious that I love clothes and selfies, so not last week, but the week before I decided to document each days outfit from Monday to Sunday, as selfies of course (I still do not have a person to take photos for me yet...). 

I have come to the conclusion that I am a being a Fashionista, so here I present my followings of fashion (and I have dreams of designing haute couture... if only I had the drawing and sewing talent!)

Monday

Monday was all about Polka Dots and a hint of red. Most of you know that I am not the type of lawyer to wear matching suits in dark colours to work. I love colour and I love mixing it up and this outfit brings a little bit of fun to the dreaded Monday!

Tuesday

I was a little more lawyerly on Tuesday. A black lace collar dress, teal cardigan and a strand of my favourite pearls.

Wednesday

I was back in red, white and black on Wednesday, but a different style of dress completely. A black pencil skirt, delicate lace top and a red cardigan to tie it all off. I love these colours together. I also love the black flats I am wearing. Ankle strap flats add a little extra flair to an outfit.

Thursday

I was feeling a little Parisian on this Thursday. An off the shoulder black and white striped top with a plain black skirt. This top is great for nights out on the town as well. I like teaming it with a high waisted pleather skirt.

Friday

Fun day Friday! Bursts of colour and a white singlet to break it up. I was travelling for work on Friday so decided to be a little casual. I'm loving floral prints for Spring.

Saturday

It was much cooler in Tamworth, my home town, on Saturday so I opted for a pair of TDF jeans, a new cami and a navy blue cardigan. I really like the length of the cami I am wearing below. I am totally self conscious about my tummy and it really stands out in jeans, so I tend to wear longer line tops. Shorter tops don't really flatter my figure.

 Sunday

Oh Sunday, and one of my favourite dresses. I picked up this peasant style dress while I was in Hawaii from Forever 21 (I shopped up a storm in Forever 21). Also, I'm not wearing any makeup in this pic. It was a no makeup Sunday and a morning out with the mother for pedicures and some shopping. I didn't buy any clothes. Shocking, I know.

 A lovely floaty dress to end the week.

So that is a week in the life of Jaiimay!

Happy Weekend Lovelies!

Spring Fling

Is anyone else overjoyed that Spring is upon us? I know I certainly am. I love Spring for the flowers, the smell in the air, the sunshine and warmer days and of course, the fashion!

I must apologise for the three week break between posts. I have been a busy lady, with two girls weekends away and lots of work to do. Fashion and blogging has not been far from my mind though.

I went on a bit of a crazy shopping spree this week. Thanks to City Chic and their members sale offer, I got 30% off on full price and sale items. I bought ten things. One of the items I purchased was a lovely skirt, a signature spring piece. I am quite in love with it. I wore it to work yesterday,  as a kind of casual Friday I don't want to dress like a generic lawyer outfit. My boss loved it, she said I was bringing 50's retro back. I do love my boss and the lovely comments she makes about my clothes and accessories :)

The skirt is a fantastic mix of floral, pastel, pops of colour and geometric shapes. here it is...

Ensemble 1

This was my Friday work outfit and I really felt like I was stepping in to Spring. I felt pretty and feminine and I love how City Chic clothes can make me feel that way. Yes, the skirt is City Chic. I am wearing an off white three quarter puff sleeve shirt underneath the pink cardi. I love this card, it is from SES and what I like about SES cardi's is that they are inexpensive and come in a range of colours. I have three cardi's the same as the pink one and every time I go to Sydney for work I buy another colour.

I had so many ideas throughout the day on how this skirt could be worn... So of course I decided to host my own fashion show in the comfort of my own home on a Friday afternoon...

Ensemble 2

Here I have chosen a collared shirt with lace on the shoulders. The spearmint colour of the shirt compliments the skirt nicely and I think it accentuates the other colours. This can also be a casual Friday work outfit, afternoon tea ensemble, a day out at the shops. The bag I am holding is from Forever New, also another sale purchase from a few weeks ago.

Ensemble 3

I have dressed it up a bit here by adding a delicate lace top (I apologise for the tag peeping over my shoulder), some mint heels and matching clutch. The top was another of my 30% off purchases this week. Another item I am happy with.

Ensemble 4

I think the addition of the blazer takes this outfit from day to night, or again an office outfit. I would be completely comfortable wearing this ensemble to the office and even to Court. I really do not agree that lawyers must be in the uniform of a black suit. Where is the fun in that!

And now we have the party outfit, the garden party, a wedding outfit, the outfit Du Jour...

The strapless top I am wearing here is the Deep V Corset top, also a City Chic item and also one of my 30% off purchases. It is fantastic! I am seriously considering this ensemble as the outfit I will wear to a wedding in February next year.

I really think that spearmint, mint, pastel green is the colour of spring. It is fresh and inviting.

So that concludes my fashion show for now. I have a lot of other goodies to show off in the next few weeks ;).

Thanks for reading lovelies!
