30 Days of Accessories Challenge Day 4 – Beaver v. Comic Con

Queuing for 2 hours requires comfy clothing and these shoes barely made the grade. Luckily in between our Comic Con mission we went and had a long lazy lunch at The Merrywell.

Here’s what I wore:

And here’s what we ate @ The Merrywell:

And for the record… I did not fit in at Comic Con at all …. Purely there for research purposes!

Day 3

In which I wear an outfit suited for brisk Melbourne days and the sweat it out during an unseasonably warm Sydney day whilst commuting to the airport.

I had all this on, plus a long sleeved black skivvy and a black jacket, and I trudged all over town in the heat, lugging my suitcase up hills and running for check in counters (us late? never…)

Packing for Melbourne

A six day trip in Melbourne, where the forecast is for a maximum of 11 degrees (positively balmy) requires some stealth packing. This is not one of those ‘I’m just taking carry on’ packing related posts.

I probably packed more than I needed, but I wasn’t taking any chances with the weather as often I pack too little and are not prepared for the cold! Plus I foresee layering, layering, layering… which means you wear the fashion equivalent of two outfits.

So here’s the packing haul…

And the details:

2 boots, 1 pair of flats (I may regret taking 2 boots, but it is the 30 days of accessories challenge!)

black jeans, blue jeans, 3 pairs of leggings

2 scarves, 1 beanie, 1 pair of gloves

3 singlets, 1 short sleeved blouse (horse print!), 1 purple fancy top

3 jumpers (maroon, purple, fuchsia)

1 black ribbed and 1 blue knitted cardigan

I black padded jacket, 1 black and fuchsia patterned coat

3 patterned dresses (with hues of blues, maroons, purples)

2 black long sleeved tops, one with a white star print

That seems like a lot for six days. But I never know whether I’ll need one outfit a day that carries from day to night, or a separate outfit for night time.That dude Murphy will always throw the opposite at you too.

I wanted to have room in my bag for shopping!

Hmmm… May need to borrow some of The Artist’s bag space for purchases…
