Today is a little crazy around the Styling You traps.

My entry is sung to the tune of the song “Mandy” by Barry Manilow. Renamed..
“Nikki”
I remember all my life, Raining down as cold as ice, A Shadow of a Mum, A face in the mirror, Crying I’m Emma.
Morning, just another day, happy people the cafe. Looking in their eyes, I see a confidence, I never had. Oh how happy you’ve made me.
Oh Nikki, well you came and you gave without taking. But I’m speeding away, oh Nikki. Inspired me and stopped me from faking. And I need you today oh Nikki.
I’m standing on the edge of Google, I’ve typed away, Styling You! Caught up in a world of fashion and beauty. The tears are in my mind and now I’m dreaming.
Oh Nikki, well you came and you gave me a book, now I’m Unlocking My Style, oh Nikki, well Frankie and BT complete my look. And it’s Everyday Style. Oh Nikki.
Yesterday’s a dream, I face the morning, no crying anymore, Your Blog is calling, oh Nikki, well I live in Mildura, you’ll find me at the Park wearing my jeans. Oh Nikki.
Well the season is here, and I need a capsule, but I need a Waterfall jacket oh Nikki,you came and you give inspiration. And I need you today!

Hi Joni. I’m 6ft tall too, so I understand your skinny jean pain. I buy most of my jeans from au.nextdirect.com (extra long & tall leg lengths – I wear an extra long) and longtallsally.com. They’re both UK based so you have to wait for shipping, but Next is really fast and free as well, but it’s worth it to get jeans and trousers that are long enough.

xx
Ally you need to try the Amaze High Rise jeans from Just Jeans. They are about $90 a pair, so not TOO crazy, but they hold everything in and are so comfy. I had not worn jeans for years and was persuaded to try them on. They are skinny and stretchy, so they felt a bit too tight for a few hours and now they are my go-to casual pant. Can be dressed up with the right shoes/top but are perfect for playing on the floor with my 4 year old and building Lego too. Don’t know what I did without them.

I love them so much and want all of them too, but they’re often a more expensive purchase so really need to work well in multiple situations as the budget might only cater for one or two (have personal added complication this winter of a growing belly not fitting into the more structured coats I’d normally go for).
They are by Zoe Kratzmann Elizabeth and thanks for starting your day with me … what a wonderful, far-reaching community this is.

1. How to get out of a style rut. I always wear blue/black/grey. I have been told I should wear more colour…but where to find? Which colours? How to style? So many questions so I stick to blue & black haha.

First name: Jacquie
Live: Sydney
During the week you’ll find me at home living through major renovations or trying to manoeuvre my way through the mindfield of government bodies, councils not to mention dealing with tradies builders etc. And a lot of the coffee I mean a lot!!
Weekend running between dancing lessons and netball, dinner with friends and birthday parties or dinners for friends (seem to be a lot of those lately!)
Like many of SY readers I’ve discovered great new brands such as Bohemian traders and Birdsnest. Loving Birdsnest bird keepers range particularly their jeans and cargos. Also have a great top from BT that I wear all the time.
As I’ve ditched my “corporate wardrobe” for “renovation wardrobe” I’m living in shorts/tops or jeans/tops. I’d like some new casual skirts and tops to mix things up for winter.
As for blog posts – my top one would be winter fashion pieces, winter makeup and also what to wear casually that isn’t necessarily jeans. Also advice on a good pair of black (or other colour) pants that can be part of capsule wardrobe.

They fit like a glove and have the added bonus of allowing me to bend over without showing any bum cleavage. Winning!
– What’s top of your autumn-winter clothing wish list right now?
Would you believe that I actually have a list?! Yes, I like lists. As it’s a long one, I won’t bore you, but I would say the most-coveted things on my list fall into the “basics” category: a khaki anorak, a killer pair of black ankle boots, new black jeans, a black blazer, a denim shirt, a white shirt, new tees, a striped winter dress (I have a stripe addiction).

Dummy’s Guide to Wearing Belts or How to Conquer Belt Phobia: There’s a few belts lurking at the back of my wardrobe, but I never EVER wear them as I have no idea HOW to wear them. I’m not talking about how to actually put them on (I get that bit), it’s more how to wear them without looking like a knob. So, to belt or not to belt? That is the question. Please help, Nikki! P.S. Big congrats on launching your first capsule collection! Can’t wait to see it.

Well here we get into the weird part, I love fishing and if the weather is fine that is where you will find me with my daughter & husband trying to catch dinner. Though I must admit many a time I end up at the seafood shop.
What’s your most favourite item in your wardrobe right now.
I was so lucky to score the Binny Rosehill dress in the chestnut print, love it ❤️
What’s top of your autumn-winter clothing wish list right now?

What blog post topic would you most like me to write this autumn-winter?
What ever blog you write I will always read and find I always find a great piece of advice. Great job Nicki.
It’s Karen here from country NSW.
You will find me, wrangling lambs, chasing men on large farm equipment or sitting in the office trying to reconcile a whole list of numbers. I have a secret life where a few times a year I get to escape to the city, wear heels and a dress, work with an incredible team of people, drink far too many coffees and by the time I return home, my city fix has been well and truly satisfied until next time.
On the weekend you will find me at hockey or in the garden. Did I say hockey….yes how many games over the weekend can I watch, more oranges, more band aids and more coffee.
My go to look at the moment are my cinnamon skinny Sportscraft jeans, matching top, a piece of funky jewellery and a pair of flats that will take me on all terrains.
I need help with tops, i never seem to find the perfect look, they are either too big, too long, too hippy or too skimpy…help!!! I want to look stylish, not like a teenager coming home from a disco or granny Annie…..
Blogs are good, any topic around winter would be fine, however regional workshops would be better….we will organise the wine and nibbles so what about a road trip. Albury is lovely in the winter…
What’s your first name? Carmel

What’s your most favourite item in your wardrobe right now? Well apart from Fluro running clothes, my Target White jeans and a Burnt Yellow flowing top.
What’s top of your autumn-winter clothing wish list right now? Actually anything new. it has been too long between shopping trips. To pick one – it would be Demin dress/shirt.
What blog post topic would you most like me to write this autumn-winter? Self Esteem and being able to cope and manage it all – We as women don’t give ourselves “ENOUGH” credit for what we do, “ENOUGH” love for ourselves, and “ENOUGH” encouragment to know that we are worthy.

Can I have two? I wear them together…that counts as one, right?! My washed blue linen pants from OSKA and my taupe cut out suede lace ups from Midas. FUNKY!
What’s top of your autumn-winter clothing wish right now?
Winter weight maxis. I have the Boho Bird Dusty Footprints skirt and I love it. I would really like some more long skirts – last time I looked at Dogstar’s website they had some gorgeous ones, but I need to sell a really good story to buy from them!
What blog post topic would you most like me to write this autumn-winter?
Hmmmm….Where to find honest to G-d classic staples like fine wool turtlenecks (NOT with oversized bodies, drop shoulders and skinny arms) and simple long sleeve tees in natural fabrics. I can’t wear much synthetic stuff against my skin, and it’s really hard to find lightweight, warm layers.
Great idea Karen – and loved finding out more about you! Have you tried UNIQLO for fine wool knits?
Not so far… I’m just remembering last year’s fruitless searching and anticipating more of same. Will have a look – thanks Nikki!

My name is Louise.
I live in Hobart. From the UK originally but been here for 20 years.
You’ll find me wrangling my 5 and 9 year old boys and our 1 year old blue heeler. And I work part time in as an R.N. in Intensive Care here in Hobart. In between that I’m sewing and cooking and reading.
I live in my jeans. They’re the “Mavi Gold” label….had to go and look on the label for that!
On my want list is a sleeveless jacket…..not too padded/quilted. Would be good for the school runs. I think Katies do one.
I always like posts on layering…..I’m rubbish at it…..just look like I’ve put everything I own on! Ha ha….
Oops….managed to put it in the wrong place….must’ve pressed ‘Reply’
All good Louise!
Layering is now officially on the list!
My tall friend Kate wrote this post for me a couple of years ago https://www.stylingyou.com.au/2014/01/shop-tall/ … but would be good to tackle again.
