It's officially winter today - and by winter I mean the equivalent of an early autumn in most parts of the world, thanks Brisbane! I hope you've all been well! 

There's been quite a bit going on in my life lately, and honestly it's a bit too much for me to be unloading all into this one outfit post so I think I'll have to put together a dedicated post to catch you guys up with everything - I might even make a video on my channel to go over everything - but as long as you're following this blog or subbed over on my channel you'll see as soon as I update (not-so-subtle hint right there)!

Let's just say things have been pretty busy and stressful of late, but I think I've decided how I'm going to move forward and I already feel like a weight has been lifted! Anyway, on to the outfit!

I actually threw this look together in just a couple of minutes as I was rushing to get ready for uni last minute (as usual), so I was pleasantly surprised with how it turned out! I purchased this lovely black neck tie from Dissh for only $15 a week ago because I'm a bit lacking in accessorising pieces right now and wanted something current yet classic that I could wear with most of the pieces already in my wardrobe. I love that this tie can be worn in so many different ways, however today I chose to tie it into a bow for this look and love the classic feminine touch it adds to the outfit!

The cami is a basic check print with lace trimmings at the top. I actually bought this about a year ago and never really knew how to wear it for some reason, but I wanted something cool and simple today and it was the first thing that caught my eye! The lace trimming is actually a lovely touch that is very on trend right now with the cami/slip 90's trend that's been quite popular lately, so I guess you could say I saw it coming (or my obsession with 90's grunge got the best of me, either way)!

I'm in love with these denim, ripped knee Farleigh mom jeans from ASOS. I was terrified of taking a risk with buying mom jeans instead of my regular high-rise skinnies but I told myself to take a risk because I adore how they look on others, and lo-and-behold, I adore how they look on me! They're so comfy, so flattering, the ripped knees make them super wearable for everyday and the light blue colour is so lovely! I've already started saving for three more pairs from ASOS that I'll hopefully be getting in the near future!

I hope you enjoyed this post and love the look, please let me know what you think by leaving a comment down below telling me your thoughts and what you like most about this look! I'd also love any recommendations on what you'd like to see next on the blog!

Street Style - Basics

My Outfit:

Grey Knit Beanie - Cotton On

Denim Jacket - Alcott Italy

Grey Crop Tee - Cotton On

Black Shorts - Sophie Charlotte Italy

Black Boots - Famous Footwear

I love this outfit. As you can probably tell by now, I have a thing for casual street-style fashion, and this outfit is no exception. I've worn it at least 3 times in the last week and despite the looks I get from people up at the shops who know that I've worn the same thing literally the day before, I have No Ragrets. *if you didn't get the reference, I'm judging you*

The denim jacket is a year-round staple for me, it looks amazing, cute, and works with just about any look! Another staple in this outfit is my lovely pair of boots which you may recognise from, well actually, almost every OOTD so far! :) To be honest the outfit is pretty much made up entirely of basic wardrobe staples!

The grey tee is so comfy, and only cost me $5 on sale so complaints here! And the shorts are just a simple pair of black high-ish waist shorts with a soft, semi velvety feel to them. The beanie is actually my favourite part of this outfit, it's so thick and chunky and cosy, I just love it!

Yesterday I had acting class with trainer of the week Damian Walshe-Howling. This guy knows his stuff, I (and everyone else in the class) learned so much from the day and we all really broke through our own personal barriers and really improved our craft. Awesome, awesome day!

But of course there was a yin & yang aspect to the day - the class was amazing, but the day started out everything but. I was early for my bus (my error) and had to wait standing in the rain and wind for 30 minutes, not to mention the additional 10 minutes because the bus was freakin' late! But it still managed to get to the train station on time for my train! Except the train was cancelled at the last minute. And it was 45 minutes before the next train.

So my day could only get better from there! 

I hope you enjoyed this outfit post! How was your weekend - the yin, & the yang?
