“The skirt-over-pants trend has single-handedly changed the way I dress.”

Tuesday
Tuesday is day certainly one of two at FJ for the week and after the workplace I used to be headed out to dinner with a pal. The ‘skirt’ I’ve obtained over my pants is definitely a thrifted cami that was sufferer to a cussed oil stain. I figured I might tuck the highest of it into my pants, and voila, now it lives on as a skirt. I’ve been making an attempt to be extra resourceful with my wardrobe and discover new methods to put on previous items earlier than parting with them and this little hack has introduced this cami again into common rotation.
Wednesday
Truthfully, I spent the primary half of my workday in Adidas shorts and a hoodie, crouched over my laptop computer. Thankfully, the latter half of my day was a bit extra thrilling. I’m a singing trainer on Wednesday afternoons (lore unlocked) and whereas this outfit would’ve been a bit a lot for taking part in scales on the piano, I used to be heading into the town afterward to observe a pal carry out in a present. My biggest accomplishment in life is my classic leather-based jacket assortment and this flooring size burgundy trench may be certainly one of my favourites. I discovered it at Swop and I’ll cherish it eternally.

Thursday is my second day at FJ for the week and immediately Melbourne blessed us with the primary 30 diploma day of Spring, so it was very thrilling for my arms to see a little bit of daylight. This complete outfit is secondhand. I’m particularly happy with the highest (it’s Italian silk) and I discovered it at Brunswick Vinnies for under seven {dollars}. I thrifted these boots in Vietnam and I really like the sting of the cutout on the bottom, plus they’re among the comfiest footwear I personal. As you possibly can see I’m very a lot pushing the side-part for my slick again’s – my inside 12 12 months previous self is so excited it’s cool once more.
Friday
Any of my associates who see this are going to assume I’ve been cloned as a result of sporting this a lot color could be very out of my consolation zone. My aim for this 12 months was to put on no less than one vibrant merchandise per day. While most days that color has been gray, one thing came visiting me immediately and I’m not mad about it. I thrifted this skirt in Japan – it was initially a midi skirt but it surely shrank in the wash and I spent an embarrassing period of time making an attempt to salvage and stretch it out. So, now it’s very mini however no less than it’s wearable over pants!
