Aussie Curves: Over sized...

Hello AC beauties! What a PERFECT weekend for the over sized challenge. It may not look like it in the pictures but the wind is blowing theeeee most chilling breeze in Mildura today! Thankfully my sister and I have a closet full of thrifted beauties like this over sized Rose cardigan. It was a no brainer to chuck this on today as we left the house to check out our local Farmer's Markets! The credit for this awesome find goes to my sister who picked this up a little over a year ago. Since then we have worn it to death and will continue to do so until the wool falls to pieces off our bodies, lol. You can easily say it's well loved. For me it is just so snugly and has the perfect length. It's an "instaoutfit" maker...one of those pieces that just calls for the basics as a foundation and then brings all the BAM to the party once on!

What I'm wearing:

• Over sized Rose pattern cardigan
• Black tights, Kmart size 18
• Creeper style canvas shoes, size 11. I picked these babies up in Harlem, NYC from a store called Pay Half.
• Silver hoops, Forever 21.
• Round Frame sunnies, Diva.

A closer peek at the earrings...

I really love the over sized look. My love for all things over sized began way back when  I was hell bent on making sure my figure was well hidden under lengths of flowing fabric *bless*. It has now grown into something I just aesthetically love on plus size/straight size women alike. Now that I think about it I think it's because among many other things, I am quite the fan of modesty in women's fashion! I love all things "lady like" and "old school feminine". Don't get it twisted...I always love a good mini or body-con when the occasion calls for it but I somehow always find my way back to high necklines & elbow sleeves :)

I hope you are all keeping warm this Winter! Is anyone else pining away for Summer like me? haha!

Almost made it...

Woo hoo! I'm back in the game...JUST! Phew, I seriously suck at this "be prepared and organised" thing. Any who, this look was thrown together in literally 10 minutes! Like my sister Falala Mele mentioned, we were running super late for church after hitting the gym for a morning boxing session and so I was running around like a mad woman grabbing this and that. My go to when I need to be out of the house in 10 or 15 minutes is a pair of tights and an oversized blouse and a jacket of some sort if its a bit fresh! Even my hairdo is a time saver style I use all the time lol. Slick one side with a bit of hairspray and let the other non-brushed or styled part hang loose and have a party. Sunglasses are always on hand, especially when there is little or no time for makeup. Here is what I wore:

Necklace: Sportsgirl $4/ Pearl ring: Purchased in Broom, WA borrowed from sister's closet/ BYS Matte Lipstick in Brown Sugar: $5

 

Sheer blouse: Supre $15 last season/ Blazer: Second hand from my uncle's wrdrobe/ Leggings: Kmart $7.50/ Nude Brouge Shoes: $40 Rivers, this season/ Sunglasses: $5 from a New York souveniere store, borrowed from sister's closet.

 

 

Yep, I almost...kinda ALMOST made the Aussie Curves cut off time for the Time Saver challenge but you know what they say..."close but no cigar!" I laugh at myself when I think I'm totally prepared or when I tell myself "this week you're gonna do it on time woman" and then I totally don't. This is a prime example of what my poor blogger life is like constantly. Luckily my organisational & time management skills are fantastic professionally or I would have HEAPS of free time to blog about everything I have no time to blog about because work sucks the time out of my life! LOL.

 

The End.

What I've been wearing...IG style.

I  signed up to IG and so began the spiral of me not posting here on my blog and not feeling so bad about it because I was still getting OOTD posts up right? Yeah, that's what I told myself but who was I kidding...I do love Instagram though and well here's simply a post of what I've been wearing IG style. Follow me @sikilou :) Please excuse the photo quality and get your scrolling finger ready...
