What I Wore Wednesday and Shopping

Still loving knits and couldn't leave this one behind at Myer the weekend before last when all knits were 40% off. This one came down to $30.

If you follow me on instagram (peta_ballerina) you would have seen that I got two parcels at work today. Wanna know what I got?

This skirt from eBay. It fits perfectly but is slightly longer than I thought it was. Very cute though. 
AND ... a pair of leather pants from my fave online store ... asos. I also put a pair of 200 denier tights in my cart to make the total over $100 AUD so I could use the 10% off code. A very important lesson. The items in my cart came to a total of AUD $100.33 and once I applied the 10% discount the total reduced to $90.30. I always change the currency to pounds before I check out though. Even with my credit card's currency conversion fee the total charged to my account was $83.32. A saving of $6.98 may not seem like much but who doesn't want to save money?!

This is my first item of leather clothing (putting in an order for a jacket for christmas) and for those who are interested, the quality seems good and I bought the size 12. It's always risky buying pants or jeans online but I'm happy to report these fit just about perfectly. They might be a teensy bit loose in the leg but hopefully I can make them work. How would you wear them?

Oh, and some more shopping from earlier in the week. Being an active gym junkie (and instructor) I cannot resist Lorna Jane. I bought the python full length tights and a super warm hoodie with a hint of my favourite trend at the moment - you guess it, neon!

Welcome Winter

Hey friends! Couldn't wait till tomorrow to share today's outfit so here I am sharing it today. Last week I mentioned that I was on the lookout for a few knits for winter and I hit the jackpot with this beauty in mombasa on Sunday. This is totally the sort of outfit I could wear everyday - one that you could lounge around the house in AND one that is acceptable for (my) work and play! I think I need to get myself another pair of these leggings too!

Go check out yesterday's post ... what do you think of the neon glasses? Seems I've got a bit neon crazy ... 

I promise no neons tomorrow!

Oh, and I thought I'd share a pic of my gorgeous twinnie that she instagrammed this morning pretending that Brisbane is actually cold! Go check out her insta-feed at nes083. Ness is having a baby in like 3 weeks. It will be the first baby in the family and to say we are all a little excited is a bit of an understatement.


p.s. winter has definitely arrived today! There was ice on the car this morning.
