I finally had a day off that was sunny! Maybe Spring really has decided to come this year. So I put the top down on the cha-cha diva and drove down to Geelong to hangout with the band.
By the Sea – Geelong
You should be able to tell from the view behind me why I drove to Geelong…
…The SEA! I love being near the ocean. It doesn’t matter what the weather is I am happiest by the sea.
But being able to hang out with the band made it fun.
Me and the Boys in the Band
Don’t you just love a man in uniform?!
Me and the Band
Me and the Band by the Sea
Hanging Out With The Band
What I’m Wearing: Old Navy Jeans (from my last trip to the US in February). Blue and white striped tank top (Free from Harper’s Bazaar magazine last summer). White jacket from Noni B (kind known for it’s “older lady” clothes but I loved this jacket!). Wittner high-heeled runners in white (you may recall these from MSFW). My big red Guess handbag (about 7 years old now), with my Chanel scarf (it’s perfect for driving with the top down on the diva). White watch from Hong Kong. Sapphire and silver bracelets and a silver and gold rope necklace. D&G sunnies.
Not a bad look for being down by the sea and hanging out with the band!

Thanks Larkin,
It was a great day. Very relaxing.
When we decided to head to Geelong I knew I had to dress nautical!

Seriously, reading your blog makes me excited to wake up everyday and put together an outfit. You are a true inspiration!
Also, I’m totally digging your necklace. I was in H&M yesterday and I noticed that chunky statement necklaces are all the rage – I don’t wear very much jewelery (other than my wedding rings and studs) so I’m trying to ramp myself up to purchase one.

You are such a sweetheart!
I’m glad that I can inspire you in some way. 🙂
Especially since I don’t have a huge and endless wardrobe that is all designer stuff.
It’s nice to know that you can work with a “normal” wardrobe and still look good. 🙂
I used to rarely wear much jewelry and most of what I had was vintage, my wedding rings a pair of diamond studs and a pair of gold hoops plus a few sentimental pieces from over the years.
Now I have lots of costume jewelry and a few fantastic statement pieces because I realised if you work with a classic wardrobe, accessories and jewelry are the easiest and least expensive way to change up you look.
Give the statement necklace a go…you’ll like it! 🙂

I think the jacket looks very sophisticated and elevates all the “younger” pieces to make the overall look more polished. 🙂

The jacket definitely ties it all together.
Even though I bought it from a “mature age” shop, I got the medium so it fits well and it has kind of a safari look to it up close.
I really like the overall look because it just seems “fresh”!

You know how much the boys in the band like to party! 😀
It was a great day out and the shoes are crazy comfortable.
We walked all over and my feet felt great.

Oooooo – those shoes!! I love them – and how you rolled your jeans to show them off. Fabulous!

They are the newest addition to my shoe collection.
Not only do they look great but they are crazy comfortable to wear!
