This week is all about texture and I was a little stumped over what I would wear for this theme. It is a long weekend here in Wellington for Wellington Anniversary so my boyfriend is home and relaxing and I planned a big picnic out at Kaitoke reserve on Sunday. Thankfully the weather was with us and we headed out for lunchtime yums and relaxing in the sun. I scored this picnic basket at an op shop for $7 dollars before Christmas and my mum got me a new flask and all sorts of awesome picnicking utensils. I cannot wait to use all this gear more often and get out in the sun.
My outfit for the picnic was a total no fuss, no makeup, just be comfy in the sun kind of look and I have to say I felt great and confident. I hadn't worn this intending it for Aussie Curves but realized in the car that crocheting would probably meet this weeks criteria just fine. How cute is this little bit of detail on the straps and back.
I have never been a big fan of short shorts just because I didn't think I could rock them, but with my hard work at the gym my legs are defiantly looking better and I feel a lot more comfy in them than I would have a year ago. I love the way in which this top drapes and doesn't cling any wear and how this outfit just echoes my thoughts of summer days. Keep an eye out for the next few weeks as swimwear week is coming up soon and I may have just snapped a few pictures for it on this same picnic trip.

DeleteAm loving your crochet top and you are so right, you are rocking the short shorts. Your legs look fab.
ReplyDeleteI love a good bit of crochet in clothing it just adds something extra. My legs are pasty white btu I'm beginning to accept my shape now they are getting more toned. yey!
DeleteLove it! Red is such a great colour on you. The details on the top are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteAnd I LOVE LOVE picnics.
Picnic are the BEST! Thanks suger! I love red
DeleteAm new here. You look great. I'm jealous. Is your Wellington summer friendlier than a Brisbane summer? It's been stifling here at the moment.
ReplyDeleteThanks for leaving a comment and welcome! So glad you've joined us, as for our summer being kinder I guess it depends how you like your summers! Wellington is all over the place, usually always windy and threatening us with with rain! This was a very lucky day with a temp high of 25 degrees celcius! Hopefully we will get some more although its already started raining a little today.
DeleteOooh that top is GORGEOUS! Love the back especially! And your legs really do look fab in those shorts too.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Sometimes it is annoying having the cool bit of a top in the back I never get to see it haha
Deletelovely detail on your top. Your picnic looks like it was fun xx
ReplyDeleteIt was so much fun, I want to picnic for every meal!
DeleteLove the top. You're rocking those shorts - I cannot do that short yet but never say never right lol and note to self: must go on more picnics!
ReplyDeleteI don't seem to be able to take these shorts off now, they are super comfy! Im sure you could rock the short shorts look!
DeleteLove the crochet details on the top! With the bold red, it's a very edgy top. I have no idea about before, but I can vouch for now - you have great legs!! On the picnic front I think I have a blanket and basket just like those. Been too long between picnics. Maybe a good excuse to eat gooey cheese. Yum. Cheese.
ReplyDeleteOh cheese on picnic yum! Thanks Jeanie, I am defiantly feeling even better about my legs now I have read all these comments hehe. I don't remember where the blanket came from but it was probably super cheap knowing me, the basket I found at a op shop just before christmas. Go on a picnic now, and take photos! xx
DeleteLove the top! I'm also planning a bit of crochet for this week's theme. Cute shorts too!
