Do you ever forget to wear things?

They get lost amongst the high-rotation favourites in your wardrobe, quietly waiting for their moment.

I rediscovered this green linen shirt when I was having a wardrobe cull the other day. Such a flattering colour, and I love that slightly crumpled, lived-in linen vibe. Perfect with jeans and a jacket for work.

Then I rescued these green wedge sneakers from my op shop pile. Why not give them another outing before deciding their fate?

You see, this is exactly why I have so many clothes… 😂

Do you rediscover old favourites when you’re having a wardrobe clear-out, or are you more ruthless than me?

@prudence_style came for a casual day of thrifting and left with a competition to win…

$200. 30 minutes. one mission: thrift the best, make the most profit at auction.

NEVER underestimate a woman who loves a bargain. 💅

This time I’m gonna be ruthless. I’m going to clear out my wardrobe and only keep my high-rotation things…

But things never go exactly to plan.

I often end up rediscovering some old favourites and thinking, hang on, why did I stop wearing that? 🤔

Before I know it, I’ve created a whole new pile of things to keep.

Turns out, I’m not ruthless. I’m just really good at giving my clothes a second chance. 😂

Anyone else have this problem?

What a buzz! ♻️🛍️

On the weekend I took part in the sustainable styling challenge run by @readysetthrifttv, and what a fun way to put our styling skills to the test!

The challenge? 20 minutes to shop for an outfit, with a budget and a limit of just 3 items. Then style it up and present the finished look on a mannequin.

I originally had a leopard coat layered over the camo cardi, but at the last minute I swapped it for these space-age-looking green boots. Sometimes it’s that last-minute change that makes the outfit!

A great reminder that sustainable styling is all about creativity, working with what you find and seeing things in a different way. 💚

Thanks to @readysetthrifttv for organising such a fun challenge! And to @waxyapplesvintage for hosting the event, and such a fantastic range of vintage clothing.

Do you think I made the right call using g the boots instead of the leopard coat? by @prudence_style

I love the vintage section of my local @sacredheartopshops

I came away with this cute floral shirt and this beautiful peacock blue coat. Judging from the label, I’m guessing the coat is early ’70s? Both pieces remind me of my Nanna around that time.

So, how to make them work in my current wardrobe?

I’ve paired them with my Bassike barrel-leg jeans and Prada platform brogues. Keeping the colours tonal — blues with blues — helps blend the vintage pieces into a more contemporary look.

And messy hair helps too, ha ha.

Had the best time finding treasure at my local @sacredheartopshops on the weekend! I couldn’t resist the Romance Was Born jacket…

I love the idea of turning this old fishing vest into an everyday jacket. I’ve paired it with jeans I haven’t worn in ages, a Lululemon zip hoodie and some very old desert boots.

The tie and cap give the whole thing a slightly gentlemanly, English-farmer-meets-Fitzroy feel.

A Saturday arvo spent knitting, surrounded by scraps of yarn, half-finished things and good company. 🧶

I love the idea of making rather than buying — and apparently my Gen Z son does too. He’s decided he wants to learn to knit.

Perhaps the old crafts are having a moment… or perhaps we’ve finally realised that making things is just really satisfying.

Camo on camo on camo! They say it can’t be done, but I went for the trifecta — and I think it’s surprisingly balanced.

I went for the silver boots because they anchor all the prints without competing with them.

Too much?

I’ve been wondering… do the fashion choices you make in your formative years as a young adult stay with you for life?

I’m approaching 60, and I still prefer an undone, slightly grungy look. Minimal makeup, hair a bit messy, and nothing too feminine or tightly tailored.

Maybe it’s the Gen X in me. 😂

Any fellow Gen Xers feel the same?

Are embellished jeans too much for an old Gen Xer? 😏

These jeans have been sitting in my ‘sell at @goodbyes’ stash for a while, but after reading in Marie Claire that bling jeans are back, I thought I’d give them another go.

So… have I rescued them from the sell pile, or should they stay there? 😂

An outfit made from a wardrobe built over time.

The blouse: [Sacred Heart op shop, last week]
The t-shirt vest: [Nom-D 2014]
The jeans : [Alpha 60 2024]
The boots : [Ganni, pre loved from Goodbyes earlier this year]
The bag: [Ganni 2026]

Nothing bought specifically for this outfit. Just things I’ve collected along the way and put together differently.

I think this is probably my favourite way to get dressed — old, new, secondhand, designer, whatever works.

Would you wear something like this out and about?
