Quite the lady
April 23, 2011 § 24 Comments
With this chillier weather, it’s easy to just ditch the skirts and blouses in favour of warmer, cuddlier gear. But, cooler weather does not mean bringing out your man-sized sweats/trackies and ugg boots, it’s easy be warm and still show you possess feminine flair (unless you’re a dude, in which case, no, you don’t need to go all Marc Jacobs on me, thanks). Tights, gloves, berets and coats are my absolute favourite winter warmers! Cooler weather also means lots of bright makeup - I can finally wear make up to school since for terms 2,3 and 4, year 12s have the wonderful privilege of not having to wear uniform- light dusting of highlighter on your cheeks, some bright eyeliner or a swipe of lipstick that really pops (but please, only one at a time). 
I remember ranting about it on twitter (another incentive to follow me)… I don’t think I mentioned this here: ta daaaaaaaa! I finally got some Ferragamos, back in February actually, don’t know why I didn’t post it in my ’getting ready for winter’ post…

I actually wore this to my photoshoot for a certain newspaper article -whistles- (I’ll let you know when it’s published), perfect for a typically drizzly Melbournian day. This is a great ‘throw-it-on-out-the-door’ dress, the mimco tangled necklace adds a dash of bling, the swirl pattern on the tights are perfectly fun and of course, the gloves are elegant and warm (I’m totally NOT a mittens kind of girl).

Although I agree that trackies aren’t appropriate going out wear, the new BONDS ads that are plastered everywhere around the city is swaying my views. Your Ferragamos are beautiful, wish I had a pair when I was your age!
You look beautiful – much better than the slop I used to wear in year 12 hahahahaahaaa I guess we had to wear a uniform… I still wore makeup and my (then) favourite lipstick SOFT SILVER ROSE. Yes, I still remember the name… it was pretty awful too as far as I can remember :/ :/ :/
P.S you are the only person that knew who the model was in that photo. I love, love, love that editorial it’s 2 years old now! Love it!!!
Following you on Twitter now
I LOVE the tights you have. I have a bunch too; I love the ones with prints and I have a bunch of black ones with dogs and music notes and other things. Very good for winter to dress up something simple. I love wearing skirts even in winter. I am not really a fan of jeans and I guess I like looking a bit more girly.
I think I have a black bag just like yours! XD
wow you get casual in year 12? lucky as! can’t wait to know more about teh newspaper photoshoot.
You have the coolest tights, ever!

I have a similar pair of stockings as in your first set of photos but the front half are sheer,wore them to work and had someone ask me if I painted the back half of my legs -_- Crushing on the flats and Mimco necklace!

Hi Angela. I followed The Age article to you blog and I love it! I noticed the photo of your art class and clicked on it and now I know definitely know which school you go to lol (I graduated 07)!
That’s such a pretty dress the first one!
You’re absolutely right, not because it’s too cold or too hot people should dress sloppy, there’s always a way to look good
accesories are the key I think.
I totally love the first outfit esp those amazing tights. x
UGG boots…oh man, glad us fashion people would dare touch those. Anyway, I love your first outfit! Those tights are awesome, and hello!! Those Ferragamos (I’m in love with that pair in green). Congrats on the newspaper article btw!
