For my recent travel through Australia, I wanted to pack light but also look stylish, and to create cute summery outfits that were totally comfortable yet chic. That’s why I love this outfit. So light-weight, and yet very trendy. It combines the season’s two trends – fringe with cropped culottes (my bestie calls them skorts!). Plus, the color I chose was mustard, something I don’t usually wear, but it certainly brightened up my day! (And my pics !)
Advert:
I wore it on a day hiking through the tropical rainforests of Queensland – here’s one from Mossman Gorge. Innit so lush and so beautiful?
And here are a few from the loveliest river I’ve ever seen. Technically, it’s back-waters, but check out those olive green waters and rocks and the trees and vines and all!
I paired my outfit with fuchsia nailpolish, comfortable running shoes with a fuchsia highlights and leopard-print socks, with messy undone wavy half-up hair to match the fringes, and literally no jewelry. I just wanted to keep it fuss-free for my day of walking. Here’s one from Cape Tribulation.

I was wearing:

Black high-waisted knee-length shorts/ cropped culottes: Zara
Sunglasses: Ralph Lauren
Sneakers: Nike
Leopard-print socks: Aldo
Fuchsia nail polish: Maybelline
