OUTFIT POST: What I’ve Been Wearing In October 2019

Years before it was called “Shopping Your Wardrobe”, it was just known as “wearing your own clothes”. I read yesterday Duchess Meghan Markle was praised for wearing coats more than once, and a wit online saying, “We can wear clothes more than ONCE? This is going to save me so much money!” 

Here’s what I wore in October 2019. You can see my outfits on ThreadNZ Instagram and follow at www.instagram.com/threadnz to see what’s new.

OUTFIT POST: What I’ve Been Wearing In October 2019

Trousers by Yohji Yamamoto, secondhand sequin silk top, vintage silk scarf on ponytail by Pucci, eyewear Le Specs.


I didn’t actually add any of this to a cart, as I sewed my own dress haha. At the beautiful Morningside Glasshouse for The Warehouse media day where they spoke of a new commitment to sustainability in their products. They’re already making great moves towards this, nice work @thewarehousenz.

Dress I sewed myself, secondhand jacket by Cachet New Zealand, sunglasses and belt Karen Walker. Bag by Deadly Ponies.

Beautiful sunny evening, down at Wynyard Quarter. Secondhand floral wrap dress and boots by Number one shoes. Eyewear by Marc Jacobs and necklace by Saben.

My second pic by a mural this week. I guess you could say I’m doing a lot of extramural activities.

Learning how to create gin cocktails using Graham Norton x Invivo Pink Gin and @invivowines Irish Gin with a mixologist at Hoppers Garden Bar hosted by @colinmathurajeffree. Try the gin it’s amazing! Photo credit @carolyn.enting

Brisk out there today! I’m in a dress I made, and necklace by New Zealand jewellery designer @shhbysadie. I headed into Ray White Verrans Corner to see the art exhibition by local artist Neil Coleman featuring Birkenhead suburbs.

Leopard IS a neutral. I think it’s because my name is Mrs Robinson, like in The Graduate ha ha if you’re old you’ll get this.

Easy breezy beautiful dress by Trelise Cooper, at my Airbnb in Snells Beach at Algies Bay complete with this outdoor bathtub, called Ferndale Retreat. I have a $50 Airbnb voucher code if useful to you https://airbnb.co.nz/c/meganr14770

Today’s opshop find in Matakana. Who else loves a good opshop find?

Excited to see Green Day’s AMERICAN IDIOT musical, on now at the Civic Theatre Auckland. Photo by @michikohylands. FUNNY STORY about this jacket: I showed up to pick up Michiko and she says “WHERE DID YOU GET THAT JACKET, I DONATED IT” and it turns out I had bought it secondhand and unknown to both of us worn it out with her!! What are the odds!?

At Mangere community clean up today with Essano. Look at all the rubbish we collected!
