My New Job and Op Shop Styling

 My New Job and Op Shop Styling

I have a new job!!!!

So I apologise for my lack of posts as I transition into my new role as the Manger of The Salvos Store in Drysdale. 

I'm super sad to be leaving Cotton On and all my amazing friends, but I know that this is the right move for me at this point in my life. 

Working for a charity is a dream come true, especially one that I support and shop at regularly like The Salvos. It aligns with my values and interests (op shopping is one of my favourite things) and I'll just happen to see all the best stuff first (hehe). 

Friday night, I went out for a celebratory drink with my friend Kimmy and her family. It was just the most perfect evening and we caught a couple of snaps at sunset of the outfit I threw on (I literally got showered, dressed, make-up done and out the door in 15 minutes).

What I wore was a light purple sheer slip dress that has really cute buttons on the back. I purchased this last week from the Geelong City Salvos Store where I have been doing my training.   

This dress is completely see through, but I popped on a white K-Mart tee and white body cocoon skirt  underneath which was $5 from Valley girl (also totally see through aha), and finished it off with black shoes and a clear quartz necklace. 

This was such a cheap look and I had so many compliments on it. You just need to really look hard to find the hidden gems (I didn't notice this dress for 4 days). 

I have loved op shopping for as long as I can remember and there is so much quality gear at the op shops these days, clothes are so cheap that it is making people turn over their stuff more quickly. So keep going back and checking your favourite oppys as you'll be sure to find an affordable fashion bargain. 

I hope to see you in store soon.

Lots of Love, Meg

Saturday Style at Terindah Estate 

A few weekends ago, I was lucky enough to win the Millinery Award at the Geelong St Patricks Day Cup. I was so excited and honoured to win and then to receive some amazing prizes on top of that, really was just icing on the cake. 

One of the prizes was a voucher to Terindah Estate on the Bellarine Peninsula.

On Saturday Aden and I took some time out and caught an Uber out to Terindah which is located between Clifton Springs and Portarlington. I was super excited to just have a beautiful meal with my love and relax. Boy did Terindah Estate live up to my expectations. 

The view was so gorgeous and even though it was a tiny bit windy and a little bit cold when the sun went behind the clouds, Aden and I chose to sit outside. 

We ordered a bottle of Terindah Estate Rose, our meals and sat back and enjoyed the view. 

It was beautiful wine, beautiful service and beautiful food. They even have 'Estate Dogs' (the owners dogs roamed around while he ate his lunch outside) which I LOVED! They were so flipping cute. 


We got a little tipsy, took some happy snaps, had a laugh and it truely was an amazing afternoon. Terindah would be perfect for a wedding or event, as you can see from the photos, I crashed someones wedding, lol not really, it wasn't starting for another hour.

Now I am no food or wine critic, everything was delicious is all I need to say. I can talk about what I wore though.

Classic Black and White

What I am wearing, a white Factorie knit. I am obsessed with this jumper right now. It has long bell sleeves with little strands of silver through the knit so it can be dressed up or down and is just a super fun piece. 


On Saturday I wore it with black leather look pants, black Rubi slides, some long black and gold earirngs, my cute Typo back pack and a Dotti hat (although I took the hat off because it was windy and my hair was annoying me).

This look was great because I was in a bit of a, 'can't be bothered getting ready' mood and this look was so easy to throw on. Furthermore actually sit down and eat a big meal (the pants are super stretchy) in without getting tight or uncomfortable from my food baby. 

Easy and classic for a relaxing Saturday afternoon.

Thanks to the Geelong St Pats Day cup for the prize, we had an amazing time.

Lots of love, Meg
