Cinematic inspiration

I watched The Way We Were for the first time the other day.

I found Katie Morosky's (Barbra Streisand) wardrobe quite inspiring, especially the colour palette of camel, taupe, navy, white, red, etc. etc. My favourite scene was where Katie and Hubbell (Robert Redford) run into each other outside a hotel where Katie is protesting against the nuclear bomb. I have never seen upturned collars look so chic! Plus who doesn't love Robert Redford in his heyday?

As I was googling images from the film I came across this highly amusing tumblr: What Would Babs Wear

Enjoy!

Work attire: long skirts

I think there is something so elegant about calf-length skirts. As I was perusing asos last night I was mighty pleased to see that they concurred, featuring a number of long skirts in autumnal colours.

My workplace is quite relaxed so I could easily wear these skirts with a fitted singlet or long-sleeved top in a neutral colour with a black fitted cardi. I love dressing for the cold weather - knee-high boots, long woollen skirts, fitted jumpers, oversized cardis ... I could go on and on.

Unfortunately the cooler weather is a little way off yet!

P.S. Has everyone been watching Oprah's Aussie Adventure? My mum is now a convert! The episode my sister and I attended is airing on Sunday evening 7:30pm EST.
