In an attempt to utilise my summer wardrobe more and spend less, I decided to experiment with layering long sleeve tops under dresses. The result? this cute little outfit which I love!

I recently fell in love with the frayed denim trend that has been featured heavily in street style pictures and on fashion blogs.
I found a few pairs online for $100+, and while that is not mega expensive for a pair of jeans, I felt that I could DIY a pair of jeans myself.
So I chose a pair of Men’s Regular Fit Jeans for a slightly baggier fit, cut them to the length that I wanted and ta-da! Frayed jeans for less than $20!
I also plan to give them a wash to loosen up the threads for more of a frayed look and sew a few cm’s above the fray to stop it unravelling too much!

So as featured in my previous post (ASOS Sale Steals), I purchased this white lace up jumpsuit as a foray into the all white and lace up trend.
I decided to style it as I would for a day at the beach or a festival . Although I wore it quite casually, it can definitely be paired with heels and a clutch for a night out.

New Year New You, right? What better way to start this resolution than buying a new wardrobe! Hurrah! I’ve done the digging for you and picked the best sale items from the current ASOS sale. I may have put some of these in my shopping basket and a few are even on their way to me. Gotta’ keep those resolutions right?!
Note: all the items below are black/grey/white. Sorry, not sorry!
The Playsuit
I am such a sucker for a playsuit/jumpsuit – whatever you call them, I love them.
The first grey one (here) is amazing, featuring a culotte bottom and cut out detail in the perfect grey colour. But its sold out in my size! :'( I just had to show you guys the amazing-ness of it.
The white and black one are the same style, but we all know you need one in every colour! I actually ordered the white one (how could you not at $16!!!) and I will be buying the black one at some stage.
I am really loving the lace up detail as of late. This one also has a beautiful flared sleeve that gives it a romantic feel, perfect for a night out. Pretty sure this will be going in my basket soon!
The Top
These 4 tops were too much of a bargain to resist… So I grabbed them all! Having a basic, but interesting top is a must for my wardrobe and each of these were between $17 to $23 in price.
Interested? Then click here, here, here…. and now here!
And more Tops….
If you can’t tell by now, I love a long line top and both of these grey, long sleeve tops (here and here) are in my saved items.
I love the 70’s twist on the flared sleeve kimono, a great way to shake up a basic throw over.
The Shoes
I am starting to see a trend in all the shoes I buy… a pointed toe, hence my love for the above three. Check them out here, here and here. I am really loving the third pair by Whistles, I feel like they may make their way into my shopping basket!
I would love to know what your favourite ASOS Sale Steals are, comment above!

AKA Addicted to Sample Sales!
Last weekend I visited two sample sales (addicted much?) The BNKR sample sale and the Landes Warehouse sale. In total I scored about 10 new items for less than $100, score!
Below are two of the items from the Landes Warehouse sale. These lace shorts by Staple the Label and a simple white dress also by Staple. Staple is one of my favourite brands and both these pieces are certainly going to be a staple in my wardrobe!
Landes Warehouse is always jam packed with bargain priced clothing from Australian labels such as Mink Pink, Somedays Lovin’, Paint it Red and more! Every time I visit i find another gem for my wardrobe.
I also purchased this classic white tee from the BNKR sample sale. Its a perfect crisp white and can be worn multiple ways, a steal at just $10!
The perfect slouch with the Naked Vice “The Modern” bag <3
Practicing my Evil Glare
I love this dress, it can be worn so many ways. With heels for a night out, with Adidas Superstars (mine are in the mail on their way to me! ) or with a classic slide.
What I Wore:
Leather Jacket from Topshop
White Tee from the BNKR Sample Sale
Lace Shorts from Landes Warehouse
Bag and Wallet from Naked Vice
Pom Pom and Belt from Sportsgirl
Birkenstock Sandals

Instead of watching The Race That Stops a Nation, Boyfriend and I embarked on a rare day off together.
We visited The Abbotsford Convent and stuffed ourselves full at Lentil as Anything (sign the petition here, to keep this wonderful place open.)
We then wandered through the beautiful surrounding’s at the Convent, it was a perfect place to snap my very first outfit post!
