OOTD: Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!
Yesterday I went on a little trip to Taronga Zoo with two of my best girlfriends. We had a great time playing tourist for the day. The weather was great, nice and warm with a cool breeze. The animals were a little quiet but we still had a fantastic day. 🙂

Outfit of the day: Sportsgirl jacket goes wine tasting
This weekend was my mum’s 50th birthday. To celebrate, we went on a little weekend away to the Hunter Valley. We did some serious wine tasting, and the scenery was absolutely fabulous.
My jacket went splendidly – kept me very warm and protected from the wind. It also goes perfectly with my Sportsgirl leopard print scarf, which I have absolutely worn to death. You can’t see in the photos, but I wore my floral Motel brand pants, too. 🙂

Outfit File: a floral dinner with friends.
I went out for a casual dinner with a couple of guy friends tonight. I wanted to give my new pants their first proper outing.

Florals are inevitable; they simply are the perfect Spring/Summer print. Pretty floral dresses, and funky floral pants, are all the rage right now. Glasson, Dotti… basically everywhere, are pumping out the floral prints. I even invested in my own floral print pants… which I’ll share with you later. 🙂
Perhaps you’re feeling like florals just aren’t your style. Maybe you’re looking for a way to wear them without looking too girly? Well, if so, here are some tips on how to toughen your look. I think tougher pieces provide an amazing contrast for the feminine florals… and result in an all up interesting and stylish outfit. Here’s how…
BOOTS
Instantly add a more masculine feel with a good pair of boots. Whether it be DOCS, or other cute boots you acquired during Winter, you are pretty much guaranteed to counter the super-girly floral print.

LEATHER JACKET
Leather jackets are a fab wardrobe staple. Not only do they keep you warm, and look good with just about anything… they are also the perfect way to add a little ‘tough’ to any outfit.

CHUNKY ACCESSORIES
Add some studs to your look, or chunkier accessories. Try dark silver or gunmetal for a really tough look.

You could also wear a grungy scarf… maybe something with skulls. Amazing!
I can’t wait to wear my new floral pants out with some cute boots and chunky accessories. What will you wear your florals with this season?
I hope you love.
