Denim, Stripes and a Fedora

My kinda' casual day-to-day basis style.

It rained. In the middle of shooting this outfit this morning. It actually rained. In summer. I'm pretty sure last summer we didn't have one drop in 90 days and yet this season we're getting rain without even a storm. I kind of like it, especially after months of hot weather. I love summer, but 23°C for two days is damn refreshing. And wearing jeans. I've missed donning a good pair jeans.

Actually, this brief stint in cooler weather couldn't have come at a better time. This pair of skinny black denim jeans just arrived at my door for our upcoming autumn, although we all know summer doesn't truly end until April, let's be honest. Denim dominates my wardrobe in the cooler months, so I always find myself investing in a couple of new pairs to add to my large, yet well worn collection. Oh, and by this time of the year I'm usually over shaving and tanning my legs multiple times a week. There will be furrier and paler days ahead. Joking! Kind of.

Actually, the more I think about it, today's outfit is actually very me on a casual day-to-day basis. Black and white basics, denim, stripes and a fedora; some of my favourite things. It's all about fabulous basics, comfort and versatility. Sure, I love getting dressed up and all that jazz, but you just can't beat the classics, right? You know, the things you're the most confident wearing.

In other news, Brad and I got Netflix on Sunday. I'm not 100% sure which yet, but our lives are either complete or completely over. It's probably the latter of the two, let's be honest. We've already watched Making a Murderer and the original Pokémon. I was one of those 90s kids that woke up early to watch Cheese TV and play her pink Gameboy Mini (represent), so naturally I had to revisit the good ole times. It turns out it's just as enjoyable now as it was almost 20 years ago, which makes me wonder how much I've really changed over the last couple of decades. It could be worse I suppose, hehehe.
