Aussie Curves: Red {She Wore What}

Are you REDeeeeeey for this?
Sorry. I couldn’t help myself.
It just slipped out.
Is it so moving on, right?

 

This week that Aussie Curves challenge was to get our red on. No problem, I thought. I’ll pair my red heels with some black and a red lip and be done with it. And then I thought I’d get creative and pair a new pair of hot pink shorts with the red heels and a necklace and call it clashing colour blocking. Then it turns out I picked up the wrong size shorts, and they wouldn’t do up. Grrrr. So I ransacked my wardrobe and found this old favourite.

 

This top I picked up at MYER about three years ago. I love it wrong and have worn it on and off since. But I just never wore it anymore. You know how it happens; new stuff comes in, you wear that on rotation over and over, and the old stuff slips further back in the wardrobe. As soon as I saw it, I knew what there was to do. Dark blue jeans, cream clutch and, of course, red necklace and heels, since this is a RED challenge.

 

Hubby and I took a look at some other fashion blogs over the weekend and brushed up on our outfit post photo skills. When we get the opportunity, we plan on delivering post content that would be useful, detailed, and offers clear and fun photos. Maybe one day, we’ll get to the point where the images are something to oooh and ahhh over. This pretty bushland setting certainly helps with that. It’s a bit gorgeous, yes?

      I know, right!? I got them in black and red as soon as I saw them. Such an easy addition to the wardrobe. LOVE.

  2. Gorgeous!! I love the little pockets of the bust of the top, sooo cute. Love having men who are starting to get how important photos are :)

      Thanks Jen. :)

  4. You look great! A lot of fashion blogs I visit are just to look at the pretty photos. It’s true, a good photo sucks you in & keeps you coming back (even if you wouldn’t wear what they do). Although I’d wear this! I nearly wore jeans in my post. After telling me you don’t wear accessories, I see them creeping in. Gushes with excitement. I love me some accessories. x

      Thank you. I was never going to wear jeans and then, hey presto I did. Ha.

      Yes, so right. Ahhh the pretty pictures.

      Haha. I’m trying, but I don’t have much of a collection. My sis is looking into stuff for me and we are growing it, but like all of this it takes time, right?

      Thanks Liv. It’s absolutely, 100% reciprocated. :)

  9. Was Kel throwing you lines while on the photoshoot, like you’re hot you know it, come on baby a little to the left a little to the right? Cos it looks like you’ve got the sultry miss down pat there in your first pic, was that on instruction to make love to the camera? Cos once again you’re lookinf fab, I love the outfit and I think that top should go back into rotation.

      Haha. That was my OMG people are staring and this is getting awkward face, I think. Thought sultry is a much better thought for it.

      Thank you Trudie. I think she will. Especially with Spring just around the corner. Welcome back top!

      Haha. I plan on trying on some of yours to get an idea for size and doing just that. Love the slim fit, stiletto jeans you were wearing in the photos with the pink blazer I love. Thank you Cait. xox

  12. Love the shoes they are the perfect shade! <3

    I love the outfit. Can I ask, when you order from ASOS (which I’m yet to try) do the jeans sizes fit well or have you ever had to return them? Thanks xox

      Thanks Rhonda. Be really careful with the size chart and read the description on fabric. Sometimes they are great, other times, it’s very hit and miss. But at least now there is a returns centre in Sydney rather than having to return to the UK! It used to be cheaper to ebay them and buy again. Good luck!

  14. Red is my favourite colour. Gorgeous outfit – you are definitely rockin’ the red Suger.

      Thank you! Red is gorgeous but not something I wear very often.

  15. Pwoah! You look amazing! I don’t know what it is, I think it’s the mix of jeans with the red heels, you look great! I love the photos, I miss having someone to take my photos, it’s nice to mix up backgrounds a bit.

      Haha, thank you! It’s the jeans and red heels, I think, it’s a pretty special combo. And yes, I’m a bit spoilt with a dude that gets it, even if he does get bossy with his choice of shoe sometimes. ;)

  16. That’s a great top :D
