The type of scallop I'm talking about is not the fish kind but the fashion kind, a scalloped hem to be exact. I now have three pieces of scalloped hem clothing in my wardrobe, this beige dress being the most recent buy. It is of course from ASOS as I don't seem to be shopping anywhere else recently, but I do want to get back into buying and supporting local designers asap, ASOS just make it too easy with all their out of UK season but in AU season sales (the one time it pays to be in the Southern Hemisphere) great range of sizes not to mention the free shipping worldwide. My black military style jacket is yet another rediscovered oldie, I bought it at H&M in New York in 2006 and wore it heavily through that winter and then promptly forgot all about its existence until my recent wardrobe clean out. Re-finding all these amazing pieces I already own has given my wardrobe a new lease of life without having to shop and spend money, so yay for wardrobe clean outs!
Our Sunday routine involves heading down to the local park with Hachi, grabbing coffee and bagels on the way and just enjoying the atmosphere. Hachi would have been in these photos but he was far too busy chasing other dogs for photo time. So instead you get me, looking awkward and as per usual mid fight with Henry who reckons taking outfit photos in Redfern park is asking to be mugged. He may well be right, but, hey we weren't mugged and I got some nice shots so was worth the argument it took to make it happen. You can see without my jacket on how the scalloped hem continues in the sleeves and also around the neckline, and its these little details that make the dress for me.
A Glebe Markets find, these patent bowling shoe-esque brogues were a pricey for a 2nd hand market stall item at $50, but worth it for their awesomeness and the fact they fit my previously moaned about giant feet.

I really like the more simpler (by no means less fantastic) route you are taking with your dressing lately. Love that mushroomy colour with the black.
ReplyDeleteAnother fabulous outfit, I'm loving all your new wears and those shoes what a find!

I have that same dress! looks great on you.
ReplyDeleteThis is a fantastic dress!! What's the sizing like with ASOS? I love so many of their things, but I'm always a bit scared to order anything because I don't understand the UK sizing...
ReplyDeleteThat necklace is gorgeous!!! I've never shopped at ASOS, but I'm off to google it, hope they have international shipping!
ReplyDeleteyou've lost a lot of weight
ReplyDeletebahaha... my boyfriend is rather similar to henry. whenever he takes my photo he generally does a pretty shitty job, then gets angry at me when I tell him its out of focus or whatever.
ReplyDeleteLoving your new look Hayley and thanks for the cool posts on your apartment style and Stylist's case - very inspiring.

Hello. I'm a long time reader and really get inspiration from your outfit posts. I was wondering if you could devulge the size you buy at asos because I feel I'm simular in size and I'd like to buy pieces from them in their regular department also. Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteHaley you Look great. Love the dress with the slim belt and Military jacket. Juet love, love, love the shoes.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog Hayley! I went & checked out the same store & I've got to say it wasn't the best. It smelled, like badly. I've been to my fair share of op shops, trash & treasures & markets & this was definitely on the nose. It was pricey too. They charge $8 per kg & that is actually very easy to do. I was definitely disappointed but always up to hearing all your suggestions.
