It's the silly season here and I had a mad week last week. DH is even busier and had a last minute flight to the East Coast of the USA with three days notice from NZ.

But there have been some fun things in the mix.

• out to dinner - this was an experiment - 2024 zebra print dress with my new second hand bomber with a dragon and a tiger...and my old beaded vintage clutch. There is a lot going on here.
• out to another dinner - the same dress but with my long blazer. I chose my black small bag - but think I could have done better with something else. I think a larger bag would have complemented the blazer better.

• out to lunch at a friend's home, on the deck outside. This was the first wear of this dress. Excuse the hair - it's not behaving at the moment.

• off to a day of work meetings. All oldies here except the shoes which were added this year. This blazer always makes me feel good and was such a good impulse buy back in 2018.

I think these outfits cover a range of styles from slightly edgy to classic to natural.

With the zebra dress I considered wearing heels, but they felt off. Whilst the heels are more flattering to my calf, the flats felt more modern.

Thanks for looking.
