Last week, I made a quick trip to Sydney for a business meeting… and to go to a few shows at Australian Fashion Week.

Because the trip was so short, I decided to travel with *just* a small carry-on bag.

And I have never done that before.

Of course, this meant I could only pack a few outfits.

These are some of the items that I packed, and I put them together to create a few “fashion week friendly” looks for myself. And I took the photos in the hotel room.

Top: Colours like corals, pomegranates, oranges are pretty big this season. I bought this t-shirt from Sportsgirl for $25.

Jacket: I like a good blazer… and this one has a nice mix of drape and structure. This is by Korean label, SOL.

Skirt: Gold sequin skirt that I have written about here and here.

Jeans: Black classic skinny jeans by Vivvienne Westwood, from LuisaViaRoma.

Shoes: These are luxe heels by GlamRockChic. I wore them for 6 hours straight, before my ankles started to hurt!

This is the variation I wore to the business meeting in the morning – a skirt with a longer hemline, and I chose to do a bit of colour blocking (as the fashion peeps call it) and clashed two bright colours together.

Skirt: The blue skirt is by Marnie Skillings from Fashion Artiste.

Unfortunately the weather in Sydney was a little cooler than I expected and I had goosebumps for most of the day!

This is me and my goosebumps eating breakfast (a $12 fruit salad) in a café overlooking the Sydney Opera House.

As much as I enjoyed watching the fashion shows, I had an even better time talking to people and looking at what other people were wearing in the streets, where fashion is REAL!
