Forget the LBD, it’s time for the LDD - the little denim dress. This one, which I modelled for today is so cute (and comfortable) that I had to show it to you! And it’s under $90 (plus use code BROOKE10 for an extra discount).
It’s called the Clara Denim Dress.
Happy birthday to , who will always be my best friend, mostly because she knows too much. Plus, I really f**king love her. ❤️
New style level unlocked: Matching my jumper to my morning tea ✨
Jumper:

I’m putting this one on the feed because multiple people said I look just like my mum — even more so than usual — in it, and I love that, especially because in attitude I’m all Dad.
Ahh genetics - such a crazy thing.
Phenomenal. Incredible. Mesmerising. Iconic. Powerful.
I don’t know what else to say to convey how brilliant is - but if you are thinking about going, DO IT!
and I went into it with no expectations, and were blown away. The storytelling, sets, the costuming, voices were all fantastic.
was mesmerising as Tina - and at one point, the entire Lyric Theatre was on their feet singing, dancing and cheering and I honestly felt like I was at a Tina Turner concert.
I loved it so much, I’m now trying to get tickets to go again.

Just a girl standing in the sunshine asking it to solve all her problems ☀️
Things that made my day better:
1. A sunshine-filled walk along the river
2. A poppin’ playlist
3. Seeing pelicans in the Brisbane River (seriously though, where did they come from?)
4. An unplanned afternoon nap
5. The smell of a roast in the oven
6. Freshly washed hair
How was your day?
A little happy snap from yesterday’s shoot 📸
Hey Siri, play ‘Lady in Red’ ❤️
I skipped off work and ran away to the beach this afternoon. No regrets. ☀️
Please use this as your reminder that the drive to the beach (and even the afternoon traffic on the way home) is worth it - even if you can’t find anywhere to buy a potato scallop to properly complete the adventure.
Also, how good is the shade of blue of this jumper? Let me know if you want a link. 💙
The dress. The cake. The moment. ✨
Yesterday was a brilliant day from start to finish. I felt so loved and lucky in so many ways.
Thank you again. ❤️
No words. 🤩
Okay, I do have some words. I gave a sneak peek of this dress when I did my April wrap up, so some of you knew this was coming soon - and I can now tell you it’s coming THIS FRIDAY.

A little snap by from a recent shoot with .
A girl & her puffer: A true love story. 🥰
When I wore this puffer in Adelaide before Easter, I had so many requests for the details, but it’s an old one - however I spotted a similar cut and colour at today for $39!
It’s called the Active Womens Bonded Crop Puffer Jacket in Sedona. I’ll pop a link in my stories. I didn’t have time to try it but it looks good.
Are you a proud outfit repeater? 🙋🏼♀️
I still haven’t returned to work (tomorrow, I swear), but I thought this outfit which I wore to last week’s opening night of at deserved a moment on the grid (as well as it’s previous appearances in 2019 and 2017).
The dress was from and I loved hearing from others who either had this one, or the long sleeved version. It’s such a classic (and also why you shouldn’t ALWAYS get rid of things just because you haven’t worn them in six months).
Love ❤️ I could say something about apples and trees and you being one of the kindest and most caring people I know, but right now I’m just really grateful you turned up and took my sick a**e to the doctor on Mother’s Day.
I sure got lucky with you, .
What’s made you happy this weekend? 🥰
Three things that made me happy: it being cool enough to wear a sweatshirt; a breakfast of hash browns and my skin looking ridiculously glowy after a night on the dancefloor.
Hey Siri, play The Choirboys.
This was the perfect tee for an afternoon in the beer garden at Falvey’s Hotel Yamanto for Anzac Day - including a game of two-up and belting out some Aussie pub classics and hitting the dance floor to Tuffy.
This is a super old tee (sorry) paired back with my favourite sunnies and jeans. ❤️

I popped some new stuff up on my online store. I have plenty more to add but maybe not for a few weeks. ❤️
The online store of pre-owed pieces from Australian fashion blogger and stylist Brooke Falvey of What Brooke Wore.
The autumn/winter equivalent of ‘jeans and a nice top’.
I loved this striped knit when I spotted it at on Thursday night and thought some of you might too.
It’s the Abisko Knit in Emerald (there’s also a pink/peach/navy colourway) and the code BROOKE10 will snag you a little discount.
The only thing better than a day at the beach listening to the waves and the sound of families enjoying a day in the sunshine - is the afternoon nap that follows it. ☀️😍👌🏻
Although I could have done without my beach umbrella taking off and blowing halfway down the beach with me chasing it in my not-running friendly bikini. I definitely didn’t look like I was on Baywatch, that’s for sure 🙈
These are all old pieces but I’ve linked similar on my .australia page so I can send you a link if you want it.
Felt cute, will probably hold off on washing my face until the last minute tonight 🩷
It’s been a while since worked her magic on my face so it was lovely to be back in her chair for today’s shoot.
Forget mob wife, this is the mob girlfriend aesthetic 😆
I’m ready to audition for The Sopranos reboot when it happens.

Midi or Mini? (Swipe) 🤷🏼♀️ It was love at first sight when I saw these dresses in person - the blue is so vibrant and yet both styles have such a different vibe from each other.
Drop me a comment below to let me know your favourite - or if you want a link to either dress 💙
I feel like the mini would be amazing with my knee high boots for a very 70s vibe - while the midi would be perfect for a wedding guest outfit, or swanning around Europe in summer.
Her holiness (inspired by Moira Rose) was on hand to bless the riders as they make their final descent into the city of churches on Saturday afternoon.
It’s become a tradition that I dress up at some stage on a Smiddy challenge - always in a costume that relates to the location. I don’t tell anyone what the costume is, or when I’ll wear it. I just appear.
On my first trip, Alice to Darwin in 2017, the peloton found a little green alien dancing on the side of the Stuart Highway in Wycliffe Well (the UFO capital of Aus).
Later that year, I appeared in Biloela (in the shire of Banana) dress as a Banana (a ladyfinger to be specific).
In 2019, I was the big pineapple at an Australian-themed farewell party at The Pineapple Hotel, and I’ve also been a Christmas Tree at the Smiddy end of year celebration.
And yes, I carried this costume - heels and all - around all week waiting for the right moment, which turned out to be in the middle of a pub full of confused strangers enjoying a lovely sunny Saturday 🤣
I’ll pop pictures of my other costumes up on my stories.

“This wine is awful. Get me another glass.” - Moira Rose🍷
After a chilly start with a morning ride through the vineyards (and hills) of Barossa, we knocked off early to exercise our arms at cellar doors around the area.
Once again, I’ve popped some of today’s shots up on my stories.
I’m also $85 away from hitting $2500 in fundraising so if you’re willing to skip your morning coffee and kick in a couple of bucks, I’d really appreciate as this is a cause very close to my heart.
Also, shoutout to the man himself, Prof Brian Gabrielli, who is not only trying to cure cancer and improve treatments, but also takes a great outfit photo 🤣
The beaming smile that comes from being back in the bubble chasing the riders through Adelaide Hills on the South Australia Challenge.
Today was the first day of the five-day challenge and our riders are now 139km down (a VERY hilly 139km) and we’re now kicking back with dinner and drinks at in Maclaren Vale.
So far we’ve raised more than $468,000 for cancer research at Mater. I’ve popped my link in my bio if you’d like to kick in a couple of bucks.
And for a little look at today’s ride and some of our riders, check out my stories.

One for my pink ladies - I just spotted that this Jessie Twist A-Line Dress is now down to $101 (from $179.95) 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It’s a great option if you’re looking for a bold hit of colour for any upcoming parties or Christmas Day but without being low cut or short - and while it does have a cut out, it’s very small - I bet you had to go back to the photo to see it.

Take a blue and white striped shirt and elevate it with a little ruffle detail 💙 This outfit is another take on my unofficial style uniform of stripes and denim. Of all the pretty linen pieces I checked out at @ljcdesigns’ Windsor boutique last week, I couldn’t resist this cornflower blue shade (although I do already have another top on its way to me which I’ll show you when it arrives!). Plus Lucy gave me a discount code - BROOKE20 - for 20% off tops. @ljcdesigns Olive Ruffle Shirt - Stripe (it also comes in plain blue and a classic longline collared shirt style). @levis_anz Wedgies Straight @_mimco clutch @zara heels #GRWM #GetReadyWithMe #everydaystyle #ootd #aussiestylist #whatiwore #whatbrookewore #howtowearit #outfitideas #whattowear #40plusstyle #30plusstyle #styleuniform #weekendvibes
Last year’s $40 linen shirt from @targetaus sent everyone into a frenzy so I’m getting in quick with their newest release (mostly so I don’t end up driving s over town again). What do you think of the print? While their designer counterparts sell for about $600+ per set, this linen-viscose set is just $90. Shirt: @targetaus Linen Blend Short Sleeve Resort Shirt and Linen Blend Print Wide Leg Pants (both available in size 8-20). Also, the first shirt was from earlier this year (anyone else feel like January was a year ago? 🤣) #everydaystyle #ootd #weekendstyle #aussiestylist #whatiwore #whatbrookewore #howtowearit #outfitideas #whattowear #40plusstyle #30plusstyle #dopaminedressing

Hello. My name is Brooke and I am addicted to sweatshirts and trackpants (aka sweatpants). This is how I’m dressed 95% of the time at home, until summer rolls around again, and it becomes pants-off Friday every day.

This set is AMAZING! It’s the Millie Knit Top & Millie Knit Pant (sold separately) from @castellaboutique and I think they’ll fly out the door. It’s a beautiful soft woven knit fabric, the pants have a wide elastic waistband and it’s just a really easy throw on and go - with flats or heels (I did both!). It was a bestseller in black and now it’s back in this navy with cream trim, or pink with red trim. Be quick - these won’t last! Discount code - BROOKE10. #matchingset #GRWM #everydaystyle #ootd #aussiestylist #whatiwore #whatbrookewore #howtowearit #outfitideas #whattowear #40plusstyle #30plusstyle #coordinatingset #affordablestyle
Keep or return? I’ve been on the hunt for a couple of dresses I could wear to dinner, and this one caught my eye. It’s a bit different for me - I don’t wear a lot of wrap dresses but something about the print appealed to me (it’s very Slim Aarons/Palm Beachy) so I thought I’d give it a try. Would you keep or return? I’ve linked this dress over on my @ltk.australia page. Let me know if you’d like me to send you a link. ❤️ #everydaystyle #ootd #aussiestylist #whatiwore #whatbrookewore #howtowearit #outfitideas #whattowear #40plusstyle #30plusstyle #wrapdress #significantother #keeporreturn
You loved the pink and now it’s back … in black!

Nailed it 📸 The first time I modelled for @ricrac_road, I sat on a cactus (in this exact spot). This time, I dodged the cactus, only to be almost taken out by a garbage truck - and he went back and forth so many times, we’re still not convinced he wasn’t doing it for the laughs.

Lady in red ❤️ It was love at first sight when I spotted this red cocoon coat at @mottofashions - it’s oversized, oh-so-cosy and such a punchy shade of red.
