Good evening! If you’ve been following along, you may remember how I went out to DFO Jindalee* last week to rediscover the centre and to see what I could put together for $100 or less. You can read all about the first part, where I found a Christmas party outfit for $72.95, here. Tonight, I bring you the second part of this challenge (you didn’t think I’d let that $27.05 go to waste did you?!) – an outfit with shoes for $25! Yes, that’s right, this outfit, minus the jewellery (the necklace was $5 though) was $25, and all from DFO Jindalee.
This outfit features a playsuit and mule boots, on trend yet easy to wear. Don’t be afraid of playsuits. They’re as easy to wear as a dress – with the added benefit of no floaty, underwear-exposing hemlines! This one has a button-front and blousy sleeves, and a print featuring peach, beige and grey designs. It was a whole $5 from Whyte Valentine, a seconds outlet in the DFO Jindalee centre. The mule or peep-toe boots, well, I’ve had my eye on them for a while, and when I saw them for just $20 at the Cotton On outlet, I had to buy. They’re super comfortable and I love tan shoes, they work so well with neutrals for summer.
I’d wear this outfit to a casual Christmas party, a work party if your workplace has a ‘fun’ vibe or a BBQ-type outdoor party. I’ll also wear this playsuit in the cooler months with ankle boots and a faux fur vest to run with the hippie vibe!
Wearing:
DFO Jindalee Whyte Valentine outlet playsuit, AUD$5 | DFO Jindalee Cotton On outlet mule boots AUD$25 | my own MNologie clutch, here | DFO Jindalee Just Jeans necklace AUD$5 | my own Lovisa cuff.

What do you think about my cheap and cheerful Christmas party outfit? Do you wear playsuits?
