Weekend in mono


It’s been a hectic week for me to say the least, but I’m glad I got a chance to spend a few hours catching up with some friends today for a girlfriend’s birthday brunch at Blackwattle Cafe, a lovely little spot just where Blackwattle Bay meets Rozelle Bay underneath my favourite Sydney bridge.

This is my new weather-appropriate version of my favourite weekend outfit comprising of a pair of buttery soft leather joggers and my most beat-up pair of sneakers which W insisted I should post because they’re so well worn in. I can’t really imagine them any other way - when I first got these sneakers a few years ago I enlisted a friend to help me scuff them up. Stark white Cons just look so weird to me.. surely I can’t be the only one :) Hope you have a great week ahead. x

    Wow - what amazing pictures! And you got some of the Mango leather joggers - they look fabulous especially with the beaten up Converse. My white ones are slowly getting knacked in … a few more rounds of football with the boys and you’ll never know they were pristine white, once upon a time.

    Have a good weekend Steph!

      I actually wanted them ages ago but they were sold out online (Mango closed their stores in Sydney) so it was purely by chance I found them on sale in KL! Even better on sale right? Would love a white pair of Cons but I think that might be too hard for me to keep it in a semi-white state!

    Hey Stephanie! I love the sleeves on your top and your sneakers. That bridge is absolutely gorgeous. I had a hectic week too, so I know how you feel. Wishing you a better week!

    Yay for beat up sneaks! I can’t seem to stop wearing mine recently, I would usually turn to my black boots for casual days but I seem to be reaching for my Converse more & more, not really sure why, and I have a wishlist of new sneakers as long as my arm too! In love with those leather joggers & the colour blocked arms on the tee too!

    • http://absolutely-fuzzy.com Stephanie Goh

      Steph I think you should share that sneaker wishlist soon so I can steal some of your ideas, haha. I’m after another pair, just casually looking..

    I so agree with you, super clean converse almost creep me out. They just aren’t supposed to be like that, it’s unnatural. I love your pants! If I weren’t a midget, I would totally want a pair.

    And I’m DYING over the Lucille article! She’s what every woman should aspire to be <3 Thanks for sharing ;)

      Thought you might enjoy the Lucille article, so funny! And you are so NOT a midget!!! Extra exclamation points just to make that clear :) x

    Such a lovely location for photos! :) Really nice casual outfit - I like your converse and I agree, brand new converse look a little odd! Much more natural when they are broken in :)

    I love your leather joggers. They look great on you!
    hahaha I must be the only one who likes her Converse clean. Well, I don’t wear mine that much so they’re quite white, but I’ve noticed that everyone wants them to look more “dirty” :)

    I love this, so effortless and cool. You make sweats look utterly chic.

    I don’t know how you pull of a casual street look like this without looking frumpy. Haha! I try but I almost always look like I just rolled out of bed.

    Amazing look! I love how you’ve turned leather joggers into a you can wear anywhere kind of pant. I can see the absolute value of having a great pair. Yours are gorgeous! Killer converse too

      I think the leather makes it OK to wear sweatpants in public without actually having to pretend to buy milk or jog around a park. Might even attempt to wear these to a proper grown-up dinner with a lace top and blazer and heels!

    Love the pants! Great look!

    I think converse look best when a bit beaten up and worn in anyway - the leather joggers are really cool too, I’m finally jumping onto that trend with a vengeance hah

    • http://absolutely-fuzzy.com Stephanie Goh

      And you’d style it perfectly as always :)
