Enjoyed a complimentary Fashions on the Field: Spring Racing Carnival Fashion Parade at my local TS (Taking Shape) store last night. For the occasion, I decided to dress to the TS aesthetic; a myriad of textured layers that build up to create a cohesive yet eclectic ensemble.
And there really is something to it... Using just 3 pieces - a black elastane camisole with a tiered floral lace hem, a blue tie dye print silk smock & a circular floral lace midriff top - NONE of which I would have bought envisioning wearing them together, I managed to create something full of movement, depth & visual interest. Indeed, I even did my usual stylist trick of creating a pick up on the side of the dress (with a rubber band!) to funk it up & provide even MORE volume... It was a night-time occasion, after all...
The busyness of the outfit meant that only minimal accessories were required - in this case a pair of black patent t-bar platform sandals & black patent handbag to anchor the look, as well as a thick silver hinged bangle to provide shine without taking attention away from the layers.

And keep scrolling down for gratuitous "dancing" shots, so you can get an idea of the way the ensemble floats & swishes when walking:
