Whether you are going to watch Saturday morning sports, dropping by the farmers market or venturing out for the evening, Amy Parsons-King finds there is an outfit for every occasion.
After-work drinks
By 5pm on a Friday many of us are making a desperate dash for the door, eager to leave work behind us. After-work drinks are a ritual in many workplaces offering the perfect opportunity to unwind socially with colleagues. Here's a fabulous outfit from Charmaine Reveley that is certain to have you looking office chic for post-work drinks. Charmaine Reveley silk scarf ($69) worn with a Reveley Merino Tee ($149) cosy, Charmaine Reveley wool skirt ($295) and belt ($89) topped off with an After The Apple bag ($449)
Saturday morning sports
Getting up to attend Saturday morning sports can be a struggle at the best of times, especially in the depths of winter. For those watching the children participate on those brisk Saturday mornings, one of the top priorities is keeping warm. This outfit from Quest is an ideal option, as it will keep you super-snug on the sidelines with a woollen bomber jacket by Lower ($159) worn over an All About Eve ''Masters'' long-sleeve T-shirt ($69) matched with relaxed-fit Lower track-pants ($129.99). Top the look off with a splash of colour, with the All About Eve rib scarf ($49) and Lower beanie (49).
Shopping at the farmers market
For many, traipsing around the farmers market in the search of fresh local produce is a weekend ritual no matter the weather. Next time you decide to manoeuvre your way through the crowds at the market, do it in style with this outfit from White By Design. F>ACTOR cape ($449) worn over a F>ACTOR Essential Merino ($160) teamed with super-comfortable Vassalli cord pants ($129) and finished off with a cosy Moda Immagine scarf ($98).
Saturday night out
Finding the ideal outfit to wear out on Saturday night can be a struggle at this time of year, as you want to look good but need to keep warm. By the time you're settled in a bar, warming yourself by the fire, sipping mulled wine, you'll be fine. It's the getting there without freezing to death that's the challenge. This cute-as-can-be outfit from Belle Bird Boutique has your arms covered and if you team it with opaque tights and a coat, you'll look gorgeous and keep cosy as you brace for the cold and bar-hop. Coop dress ($210), Meadowlark charm necklace ($125), Deadly Ponies Mr Nebular Messenger bag ($719).
Sunday morning sleep-in
Sunday morning sleep-ins: remember them? For those with young children, the sacred Sunday morning sleep-in is no doubt a distant memory. On the rare occasion you do get the luxury of lazing around in your pyjamas until midday (e.g. on your birthday or Mother's Day) why not do it in comfort and style in a pair of satin Gingerlily pyjamas ($89.95) and opulent Pierre Cardin robe ($179) from Arthur Barnett.
