I haven’t met anyone who doesn’t like the spring season. The flowers start to bloom, withered trees start to grow, and birds together with many insects are much happier.
Despite all this beauty that surrounds us, still, here I am at home lounging with my laptop and telling you how spring is awesome even though I have to face the fact that I can’t enjoy spring just like how we enjoy it pre-pandemic.
But we try our best to stay sane and stay as normal as possible.
And in my case, that includes keeping busy at home, continuously educating online, learning new crafts, enjoying dressing-up with my recent gifts from Femme Luxe Finery, enjoying the household chores, and basically trying to take every opportunity to see the brighter side of all of these happenings recently.
Remember this STAY HOME shirt? I like it a lot that I picked another one in the pink shade for this spring!
I love wearing a comfortable T-shirt even though most of the time I am in my dresses. But whenever we go for our regular walks, a T-shirt is always a good idea! But sometimes I must wear a jumper on top of it especially when the Victorian weather suddenly goes nuts.
What else I have been doing recently?
By the time I was wearing this comfy Grey Loungewear Tracksuit Set, I just finished sorting things at home including my walk-in closet. When we moved into this big house, I initially thought about the amount of time I will spend cleaning them, but guess what – it wasn’t that hard and I managed to devise my plan and time on how to do all these chores.
I may look like channeling Baby Spice (or maybe Ginger Spice but I’m not red-headed!) but in reality, I was having these quick OOTD photos before we head to Bunnings and search for new fruit-bearing trees to add in my yard.
This Rust Ribbed Pocket Detail Loungewear Set looks amazingly comfortable and surprisingly well fitted on my torso despite its featured cropped-top. The pants have this illusion of pockets on both sides, but that was it… just an illusion, lol. The fabric used is nice and but you need to wear additional leggings underneath in case the warmth isn’t enough.
Okay back to my plantita mode…
I’m thinking of growing them in a huge pot (in case we moved to a new house again, hence I can easily bring them with me), and here are my options:
Pome fruit – attractive and utterly delicious, apples and pears deserve a place in the garden. Most will need a pollinating partner though, so maybe I’ll look for grafted forms or smaller growing trees since my space is limited.
Citrus – Apparently, every Aussie backyard needs at least one citrus tree (we have it here which needs cultivating). They will grow in most areas, although some can be frost-sensitive.
Peach – The perfect summer snack, or the smooth-skinned variety called nectarine (they are basically the same, except peach has fuzz). Grows in cool-to-cold climates.
Pomegranate – I might need a little patience with this small-growing tree as it can take up to five or six years to produce fruits, but the wait will be worth it! Grows in moist warm areas.
Cherry – A Christmas icon, with its glossy dark-red fruit and sweet flesh. They need cold winters for the fruit to form, so it’s best suited to warm and cool areas.
Olive – it is a gorgeous, long-living tree that’s loved for its decorative qualities as much as its fruit. Ideal for warm temperate and cool to cold areas, although severe frosts can damage fruits.
Banana – well who hates bananas?! Although not a tree, this tall-growing herb produces masses of delicious fruit in warm, subtropical, and tropical climates.
Mango – the quintessential summer fruit, which grows into a large branching tree. I’ll look for a dwarf version.
Papaya – I don’t need to wait long for the fruit of papaya trees! They usually bear fruit within the first 12months and grows in warm, frost-free climates. Best for my Dada’s chicken tinola!
And yes, we are still required to wear a mask, enough reason why I made heaps of it.
So many choices, so limited space I have. But it would be awesome to have them all!
Who says you cannot wear all black in spring?
Apparently, you can but choose the right fabric.
This Black Ribbed Crop Top Straight Leg Loungewear Set is one of the nice loungewear set that I enjoyed recently, especially the black cropped top because of its massive sleeve. I like the drama it gives me just like those drama women from RHOMelbourne.
I just finished watching the first season of Real Housewives of Melbourne (circa 2014) just for educational purposes only and see what does the Melbournian women do (apparently I heard so much bitching in most of its episodes but surprisingly entertaining). I learned about other suburban places in Melbourne I haven’t heard of before, and now I am interested to have a drive around the area, like in Toorak (of course with my driver Dada!).
Even I am at home, I tend to dress up a bit and add a little fanciness just to light up the mood. I can’t remember the last occasion I wore my high-heeled boots because you can’t wear them in the streets of Warragul. For the sake of this fancy OOT photo, I wore these boots, and I tell you that my legs and thighs are shaking!
Flat shoes and low-heels platforms are my newest comfort, after all, I am a Tita in the countryside.
I’m having a few days of break from my DIY-shenanigans, and I can’t wait to share with you my creations soon.
Which of these loungewear sets do you like? Do you have fruit-bearing trees at home?
When was the last time you wear your high heels?
I love all these outfits. The grey tracksuit looks especially cosey.

DeleteI don't have a fruit tree at home but I hope to plant some peaches one of these days. I really don't remember the last time i wore heels. I find it hard to come across any comfortable ones so I have given up on the whole heels thing altogether. All your outfits in this post look so comfortable. Happy Spring!
ReplyDeleteMy heeled shoes in my Manila apartment probably won't recognize my feet anymore!
DeleteI love your sense of style as well as how well you are coping during this awful pandemic. To me the most important thing about clothing is that it is comfortable and these outfits all look good on you. Best wishes during these restrictions that apply to so many of us and hopefully life will get back to some sort of normal soon.
ReplyDeleteI'm tired of whining about pandemic inside, so I decide to enjoy what I have. But still deciding which plant I should get! lol
Deleteyou look so comfortable and definitely suitable for home stay. SO comfortable. I love it

DeleteSpring is the most wonderful time of the year! Too bad we still need to wait a few months for such an amazing weather. Great outfits! :)
ReplyDeleteThe wait will be worth it :)
DeleteSo glad that you are getting to experience spring as I head into winter. The lounging looks are definitely great to keep you comfortable. You inspire me with all the gardening that you are planning to get done.
ReplyDeleteGetting busy and enjoy the spring season. The summer is approaching and Australia's summer is too hot for me.
DeleteThe outfits looks comfortable. I love the boots.
ReplyDeleteThanks Yudith!
DeleteI love Spring where the flowers are blooming and the weather is warm but cool at the same time. But, I have allergic rhinitis and the pollens floating on the air makes me sneeze that's why I have to take some meds to control my allergy. But still I love Spring!
ReplyDeleteHahaha no one can't stop us for loving spring - even with allergies :)

ReplyDeleteSalamat, Karla!
DeleteWow, pretty impressed by the lineup of fruit trees that you are growing! I can't have that in our mini-balcony, sadly. Love the outfits on you, too. That garden definitely is a beaute for a stage!
ReplyDeleteThank you May! Hope I could get all of them :)
DeleteI want that Stay Home T-shirt mahilig kasi ako sa mga statement shirt. Bet ko din yung grey tracksuit. Wala kami fruit-bearing trees ngayon, kaya naman nakakamiss ang buhay probinsya dun madami kami dati mga fruit-bearing tree.
ReplyDeleteI agree, when I live in the province (Mom's place) marami kaming tanim. Here in Warragul, it seems like your house looks BONGGA if you have fruit-bearing trees!
DeleteI would love to try the Rust Ribbed Pocket Detail Loungewear Set. Super bagay! I just don't think if it would fit me kasi super petite ako. May smaller sizes kaya?
ReplyDeleteI think their smallest size is 6.
DeleteAll of your outfits look stunning!!!! You put then together and pull them off so effortlessly. Did you have your photoshoot just around your house? Such a big space and lot of greenery. Super perfect for more planting nga!!! Hahaha
ReplyDeleteAww thank you! Yeah just doing my own photoshoot around the house (thanks to my assistant tripod!), but it is a challenge too, like doing my self photoshoot, while trying to avoid the confused staring eyes of my neighbors, and cars passing by, lol.
DeleteWow that looks comfy but i don't think it will be forgiving on my body type.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting Janessa!
