Loving Navy with White

Had to see the accountant today, so we met up with the hubster at the accountant.

I couldn't go there looking like a dag. I always wear trousers and jeans, so I thought I will wear a skirt today. So I ended up looking lady-like... i.e. sorta classy casual, if there is such a thing? :) I also thought, if I'm going to wear some decent clothing, I should be taken out to dinner. LOL So I conned him into taking me to Maccas for dinner. :))

Anyways, when I reached the accountant's office and got out of the car and walked up to my husband, he exclaimed, "Whoa! Do you always have to dress this nice!" He wasn't too happy. I found out later this evening that he wasn't too happy, because he noticed a few people on the street stare at me. I didn't notice, so I couldn't care less. This, coming from a man who says he ain't jealous. Yeah right! He is jealous alright, but he just ain't aware of it. LOL I know this, because he doesn't even like it when women look at me. He told me that when I dress the way I do, I attract attention and that I should tone it down. Tone it down? I thought I was toned down already. I wouldn't know how to do what he wants from me? He doesn't want me to wear an abaya/pardesu. So that's not the case at all...

However, I have noticed that I do probably look a little different to other hijabi women (Turks in particular) in Sydney. I think we Melbourne girls are a little more into colour, and we probably do dress a little more formal even on an everyday basis. So, in my opinion, something which is very basic and 'casual' may look a little too formal here. :/

Hey! On the brighter side, he complimented me hahah And on an outfit that I wasn't too happy with cos I would have preferred to wear a plain coloured scarf instead. I think the print on my scarf clashed a little with my blouse, but I don't have a full length mirror here just yet. I can only see my head to my mouth in the bathroom mirror. So yeah, in my defence, I didn't even really know what I was wearing. LOL

Here is my outfit of the day:

Footnote (pun intended!): I wore my tan wedges and tan handbag - not the red flats in the photo :)
