My love for the Australian label Binny is far from a state fashion secret.
I first discovered the label via your imaginary TV friend and mine – Offspring’s Nina Proudman – and have been a card-carrying fan ever since.
What I love about Binny’s designs is that they always surprise and delight in the details and prints.
It’s these details that lift each piece she designs to the next level.
I’ve already snapped up this maxi skirt BECAUSE leopard print. And on the blog I’m featuring the most amazing tailored shirt I’ve ever worn.
The model
and me
Binny Parade Ring Shirt* (I’m wearing size 16) | NYDJ jeans | FRANKiE4 Footwear boots
I think this is my best effort to pretty much copy the essence of the model outfit, even if I say so myself.
For me this is a fresh take on early autumn dressing. As it cools down, add a knit and/or a jacket.
But let’s talk about the shirt.
As soon as I opened the package, I was captivated. Light blue or chambray will get me every time. Add in stripes, like has been done here on the sleeve, and it’s straight to winner status.
As for the big fold-back French cuffs, grosgrain stripy ribbon trim on the button line and crisp fabric, HOLD ME.
This is a shirt that feels as good to wear as it looks. The sleeves are 100% cotton and the body is a mix of polyester and cotton.
Not a fan of the white jean? This shirt will be equally at home with indigo or blue-wash denim jeans.
Weather permitting, I’d also wear it with navy, denim or white shorts.
So tell me, how much of a fan of details in fashion pieces are you? Hanging out for Nina? (A little bird told me that filming for Season 6 of Offspring is starting in April.)
* These pieces were gifted to me for editorial consideration. Full disclosure policy here.

This month’s theme is: how to add elements of autumn to your wardrobe when it’s still warm outside (this post might help with ideas). Think the addition of a new-season trend via colour, texture and style in one part of your outfit or accessories. At this time of year, it’s super tricky to do an autumn look head to toe so we’re looking for inspiration.

I love this look so classic and stylish. I don’t own white jeans but they look amazing. I have muscley thighs that always feel big to me so I haven’t braved white jeans before. Might need to try some on.
Look for some that are a thicker denim jess – and with stretch. These ones work for me – worth the mission to find.
Love it! A cool twist on the chambray. And that skirt is now on my list! Gah!
I love the skirt and will trot it out soon!
Now THAT is a shirt! Love unexpected details and quality fabrics that come together to form a beautiful, functional and very cool piece of clothing that no doubt would become a firm favourite super fast. x
Yes – such a fave that I can’t wait to wear more regularly once the weather here gets the autumn memo!
