Today’s outfit is a super casual one. I figure it’s O.K to post simple outfits on the blog every now and then. I don’t always get dressed up and sometimes I’m happy to bum around the house in a jumper and jeans.
I am wearing:
– Rainbow striped turtleneck (thrifted)
– Purple jeans from Jay Jays
– Pink Converse All Star high top sneakers
– Plastic apple hair clips (purchased from a junk store at least fifteen years ago)
It was a very grey and cold day when I took these photos. That’s why they’re all grainy. I like to attempt to counteract blah days with loads of colour. Adding splashes of colour to a really casual outfit gives it a fun edge, I think.
I’ve been slightly obsessed with braids lately. After I got my hair cut, I was lamenting over the fact that I can no longer wind my hair into a massively long plait. To make up for this, I’ve been experimenting with different braids that work in my shorter hair. On this day, I did two side braids and pinned them to the back of my head. It’s a simple style, but I really like the way it looks.
What do you wear to brighten up a grey day?

I love simple outfits, it makes me feel not so bad for the amount of times I’m often wearing simple outfits. I try and show some of my more casual outfits on the blog, I like to ‘keep it real, yo!’.
Love this outfit, that jumper is amazing. I have to say though, you’d probably get carded if you tried to buy alcohol, you look 15!!
Haha! I was worried that I looked a bit juvenile in this outfit. Oh well, I guess I really can’t complain if someone thinks I look more than 10 years younger than I actually am!
I think its great you can look younger, it’s fun!
I suppose you’re right. It’s so ironic that I spent a huge chunk of my teens trying to look older!
I WANT THOSE PANTS! Such a gorgeous color. 😀 Grey days are my favorite, so I don’t mind wearing a little grey as well! Though I add a pop of color, like pink, or blue, or something neon. They all go wonderful with grey. 😀 Orange is a favorite too, especially if it’s rainy. Rainy weather and orange goes together well, I think!
Thanks. I’d wanted a pair of purple jeans for ages, so when I found these ones for just $10 I snapped them up. They’re so comfortable as well as being a fun colour.
You’re the rainbow in the grey sky in this outfit! I loooove braids and my favourite at the moment is a side French braid (like Katniss in the Hunger Games, but I can’t do Dutch).
I’ve been experimenting with lots of different braids at the moment. I’m in love with waterfall braids, but I’m yet to master that technique.
Of course it’s ok! I actually prefer fashion blogs where you get to see a spectrum – not just fabulous dressy event clothes. I love this jumper on you – so cute.
Thank you. I agree with you. I prefer to show a range of outfits on my blog: from the mega casual to the very formal.
