As some of you may or may not know, Australia is also known as topsy-turvy town. That's because, while everyone else has a white Christmas, we have a very tanned and orange one. The weather down here, is like I said pretty much "topsy-turvy." You never know if it will be hot and sunny, cold and sunny, hot and rainy or cold and rainy. So here are a few basic outfit ideas that you can pretty much dress up or down depending on the weather :). As this IS my first post, I'm also starting with outfit ideas that are VERY VERY affordable :) So stay tuned.
I see a lot of baseball shirts nowadays, and I think they are ADORABLE. So I got my hands on one, and I LOVE IT. This one, I got for $10 and is real good quality from Kmart. Outfit ideas:
- hot-sunny: the fact that it is very comfortable and it is white, makes it really wearable during these type of days. It is a bit short, so pair it with a black pencil skirt underneath and you're good to go. You can also play around with how you want it. So, personally I like to just tuck half the front in.
- cold-sunny: pair it with some cuffed skinny jeans or leggings and you're warm and fresh. If your arms get cold, layer a parka or an oversize cardigan and its perfect.
- hot-rainy: this type of weather is probably my most hated one. It is is yucky and sticky...EUGH. For these yucky days, cuffed blue skinny jeans would be just right.
- cold-rainy: This is cozy weather so anything cozy would be amaze. So a pair of black velvet leggings, and a knit cardigan plus a hot milo and you're warm and cozy.

This dress-shirt I got from SES for again only $10 and there is so much you can do with it:
- hot-sunny: This one is pretty long and just comes down right below the knees, so leave it as it is and pair it with some cut sandals and you are set. If loose clothing is not your thing, you can tie up one corner so that it becomes a fitted dress.
- cold-sunny: This dress covers most of your legs, so it would be great for this type of weather. Any cardigan or blazer on top would add that warmth onto your day.
- hot-rainy: personally, I hate getting my legs wet so pop on a pair of leggings and some nice kicks, and your bottom half is protected. Otherwise, a parka or any waterproof jackets would be good.
- cold-rainy: any type of leggings, some Doc Marten boots and an oversize knit cardigan will keep you warm and set for the day.
This one I got from PaperScissors a while back, so I don't really remember exactly how much it was, but it was around $20..
- hot-sunny: This one is really thin so make sure you wear a tight fitting white singlet dress underneath. For hot and sunny weather this is great just as it is. You can accessorize with a black statement necklace or a belt, BUT NOT BOTH.
- cold-sunny: I like my oversize clothing, so I have quite a few oversize parkas or blazers, so I think any of the two would go great for this type of weather and this dress.
- hot-rainy: well this is a dress-shirt, so you can tuck it into some high waist boyfriend/vintage jeans and some boots or nice kicks and you're good to go.
- cold-rainy: and pair with some more high waited jeans, a parka and some Doc Martens you are warm and cozy.
