This is the face of a very happy but very tired mama. The Teenager got operated on first thing this morning and is now sans appendix. Finally! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Super excited about actual food for lunch (teriyaki fish for the record), and can come home tomorrow! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m using the power of fashion, as per usual, to get me through. Couldn’t go past a snuggly sweater dress and velvet reversible jacket combo from @gormanclothing Winter 16. I wore the matching leopard scarf too. Always down for #EmbraceTheMatchyMatchy (at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQVwMuUHyKf/?utm_medium=tumblr

Saturday #embracethematchymatchy ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m wearing Best Buds scarf and skirt from the @monika_forsberg x @gormanclothing collaboration, with the new Alexa tee by @stylingyouthelabel and @planetshoesaus sneaks ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The Welshman and I went for an afternoon walk in Pyrmont. Great views, lots of open space, and no crowds! It’s so simple to stay safe, and social and physical distance, and still leave the house to get some sunshine and fresh air. I wish more people would get it! (at Pyrmont, New South Wales, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-RIH81Hyl8/?igshid=13pnhxc2mtvh1

Not gonna lie, I love a spot of #embracethematchymatchy especially this peachy little combo 🍑 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As I’ve shared, I don’t celebrate Australia Day because #alwayswasalwayswillbe but I do love my adopted country. So this week, I’m wearing outfits that celebrate the Australia I love. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm peachy keen on my @jerichoroadclothing Little Llama linen top with @sirmano cute as a button artwork ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Jericho Road Clothing is Chloe and Kate, a gorgeous inside-and-out Queensland sister duo who grew up in rural Queensland cattle country on Jericho Road. They’re sustainable and ethical and have designed some of the most fun pieces in my wardrobe! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My sunnies are from Australian @gormanclothing, one of my faves! My shorts are from @countryroad, an Australian-founded company, now offshore owned. A brand I've been buying and wearing since high school, more than - gulp - 30 years ago! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ PS - did you spot my sexy new accessory? Turns out it wasn't just my existing joint pain, but tendonitis. What's one more ish? 😂😬🤪 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #SummerStyleFile #kimbalikesStyleFile #TeamStyleFile #TripleCstyle #realmumstyle #40plusstyle #stylefile40plus #CurvyAU #size16style #spotmystyle #realstreetstyle #daremorecareless #sydneystyleblogger #wearedonthestreet #womenwithstyle #australianfashionblogger #everydaystyle #stylefileantipodean #stylefilesustainable #stylefileshorts #stylefilegirlboss #stylefilewearableart #jerichoroadclothing X https://www.instagram.com/p/B77-ryPnJ2l/?igshid=1jo9v14sind9g

I have always had a thing for gingham. It’s just so retrocute! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve layered two @boomshankarclothing pieces together for #stylefileLAYERS and #DAREcember with @foxinflats ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #layerplayer #embracethematchymatchy #SummerStyleFile #kimbalikesStyleFile #TeamStyleFile #CurvyAU #realmumstyle #40plusstyle #inbetweenie #spotmystyle #realstreetstyle #makeyousmilestyle #loveyourelectricbody #colourmakesmehappy #fashionover40 #stylefileGINGHAM #moxshoes X ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ https://www.instagram.com/p/BrRv3ZbhheT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=f2vq6fz3w1ja

I’m kicking Monday’s butt in my gorgeous @megangrant_artist x @gormanclothing Green Jungle swing and hairbow ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Oh, I do love matchy matchy! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ PS if you’re feeling a bit chilly this winter, here’s a style tip for you. I’m wearing @cottonon skinny trackies layered under my dress. Same look as skinny jeans but with the added bonus of being comfier and warmer than skinny jeans! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #WinterStyleFile #kimbalikesStyleFile #TeamStyleFile #CurvyAU #realmumstyle #40plusstyle #inbetweenie #spotmystyle #realstreetstyle #makeyousmilestyle #colourmakesmehappy #everydaystyle #embracethematchymatchy #GormieGirlGang #gormanOOTD #showusyourgorman #kimbalikeshairbows #megangrantxgorman
