Outfit Of The Day: 20th Jan 14

I am enjoying the summer heat wave that has hit the east coast of Australia - thankfully we are not getting the 40+ degree temperatures that Melbourne & Adelaide are getting though.
I am heading out for dinner tonight with the hubby so the occasion calls for some animal print. Lets hope the restaurant has the A.C pumping!

Today I am wearing:
Top: Boutique from Kogarah, NSW
Shoes: Myer
Earrings: Manly Art Gallery http://www.manlygallery.com.au/
Bracelet: Custom made by Vintage Pip http://www.vintagepip.com.au/

Outfit Of The Day: 14th Jan 14

A colour that I love (and that screams young and fun) to me is PINK - so I have draped myself in it today.
Today I am wearing a fantastic playsuit style dress - these are so fashionable now and they hide a multitude of sins. If you are concerned about it being too low you can always add a cami or singlet underneath.
I've teamed it with some funky heart shoes and a chucky chain necklace from Vintage Pip, and rings and earrings from Tree Of Life.

Outfit Of The Day: 10th Jan 14

Sorry that this update is a little late, my daughter who helps me with this blog decided to be lazy and sleep in and not help her poor mother on her quest for funky fashion for over 60s to be shared with the world hehe

On my shopping spree yesterday I managed to pick up this adorable top which I have teamed with a pair of leggings. Its great to stock your wardrobe with tops like these, oversize tee's are very much in fashion and are super comfortable too. They go great over the top of leggings or even skinny jeans.
I'm heading out to get my nails done today - I get mine done with BioSculpture which doesn't damage my natural nails underneath.

Today I am wearing:
Top: Ally http://www.allyfashion.com/store/
Necklace & Bracelet: Vintage Pip http://www.vintagepip.com.au/
Earrings & Rings: Tree Of Life http://www.treeoflife.com.au/
Nails: Kate Kemp Nails Birkdale https://www.facebook.com/katekempnaildesign

Outfit Of The Day: 9th Jan 14

Today I am braving the school holiday crowds and going to Westfields Carindale for some retail therapy.
I have gone for a casual and comfy look today and added some accessories and a colourful bag to make my outfit perfect for strolling around the shops. I love my animal print top - just make sure you choose wisely and don't overdo the animal print as there are some shockers out there.

Today I am wearing:
Shirt: Temt http://temt.com.au/
Pants: K-Mart
Necklace & Earrings: Tree Of Life http://www.treeoflife.com.au/
Bracelet: Vintage Pip http://vintagepip.com.au/

I also added in a pop of blue with my handbag, and my shoes are comfy jelly flats my daughter got for me when she was in Thailand. Have a look at stores like Rubi shoes http://shop.cottonon.com/rubi-shoes/ as they will have similar style shoes there too.

Outfit Of The Day: 8th Jan 2014

Feel like I need a bit of colour today - so I am wearing my favourite colour: BLUE

Blue is the colour of the sky & sea, and is considered beneficial to the mind and body. It is also strongly associated with calmness and tranquility.

Although it is another hot Brisbane day I am braving the heat and heading out for lunch with the girls.  A nice glass of white wine will cool us down :-)

The poncho I am wearing is light so I can still keep cool on a hot day. I love how these colours work so well together, it really is saying "I'm a funky ol girl and I am proud of it" 

I am wearing today:
Maxi Dress & Poncho: Valley Girl http://www.valleygirl.com.au/

Shoes: Bare Trap - a boutique you will find in Wynnum QLD
Earrings & Ring: Tree Of Life http://www.treeoflife.com.au/

Bracelet: Custom made by Vintage Pip http://www.vintagepip.com.au/

Hope everyone has a wonderful day xx

Outfit Of The Day: 7th Jan 14

Its a beautiful sunny day in Brisbane today, perfect weather for a BBQ with family & friends.I haven't worn shorts in years but decided to give them a go. Who said funky old girls can't wear shorts???
The best lenght for your shorts at knee lenght or just above, and if you have spider veins on your legs like I have a bit of Le Tan dried quickly and helps give your legs a nice summer glow.

Today I am wearing:
Shirt: Target
Shorts: Big W
Chain: Vintage Pip http://www.vintagepip.com.au/

I also added a white bead bracelet, and some sparkly sandals to add a bit of bling to my outfit. I kept my accessories quite simple as the top had a wonderful summer time design so I wanted to keep that as the stand out piece.
