Aussie Curves: Second Hand {She Wore What}

You know what, when it came down to it I had quite a few items to choose from for Aussie Curves second hand week. Hand me down, swapped and eBay items make up the bulk of it. I looked at it all, hung it out where I could see it and went about trying to make sure these items made it into my everyday wear so I could grab a pic.

In the end, the surprising winner were these ASOS Curve jeans I picked up from Caitlin not last year, the year before. They’re practically vintage. In summer. I know. I must be mad. It’s been hot here, but you know what happens when it gets hot? Everyone cranks their air conditioning and I spent my days in a huddled bundle under my desk freezing my butt off. So jeans, light weight with cuffed hems have made their way back to the wardrobe already. I think a heavier denim may still be months away.

Paired with this oversized baseball tee from 17 Sundays BASIC and the tan accessories, this is a casual, comfy outfit perfect for a morning at the shops, movie dates or air-conditioned cafe. I added the hat because it just seemed SO perfect with the side plait, but alas, I’m just not a hat person. Let’s lament this fact for a moment, shall we… Sigh.

this look is quite vintage and i love it on you, your shoes are amazing with those jeans! I wish I were a hat person but I have a huge head and lots of hair which makes finding hats that fit impossible. :( I feel for you.

  Thank you E. I’ve just started wearing the strappier heels with jeans, it always felt a bit odd. A bit like the hat thing actually. Haha. Huge head, big hair here too.

My fro makes hat wearing difficult, so I feel your pain.
That said, I really think you can pull off the hat. I like it.

  Thank you. This is my beach hat and it’s the only one I own that doesn’t look entirely ridiculous. But still, oh to be a hat person!

I think the hat is super cute! And in NZ, I wear jeans in summer a lot, if its not above 25 degrees, my lilly white legs are not going to be on display!

  Haha. I imagine the weather allows for it a lot more than it does here. Today is overcast and it’s trying to rain. I could probably wear jeans again today. If I’m lucky. Haha.

I really like the simplicity of this, and the colours are light and summery, so you don’t look warm. Nice x

  Thank you Sophie. That’s the reality of it, isn’t it, sometimes a simple outfit is all life requires. That and a hat that bloody well fits. ;)

Air-conditioning? What is that you speak of? And where can I get some?

You look so good in everything. Always. What’s with that? Even the hat. :)

And I’m not a hat person. I feel like a proper toss when I wear one.

  Haha. I love my air con, best you keep putting those pennies in the jar lady, you’re going to need it. It’s like living in Scotland without a heater or something. :P
  
  Thank you. What IS with that? Well, it’s a million photos and I pick the best ones. Promise. Which reminds me, I have to do a behind the scenes/bloopers post. I’ll make sure I let you know when it’s live, it should be a laugh.
  
  Agreed. Darn hat people.

This outfit looks super comfy, very beachy, though I don’t imagine jeans and the beach mix well, but it just gives me that vibe. That last photo = win!

  Haha. I know right, I was going to leave that pic for the out-takes post I’m doing, but it was too much fun. Thanks lovely, it is very beachy. But absolutely the jeans and the beach don’t go thaaaaat well together, but I could make it work closer to winter. ;)

  Thank you Lisa. I’m trying to not try so hard and just take photos that look like me, having fun. We’re getting there, I think. And yes! I turn up the hem on all my jeans now. I’m sort of obsessed or something.
