Finally posting some pictures from Saturday night a few weeks ago, when we headed out for a family dinner at iThai, followed by (my personal favourite) Tea Fusion Milk Tea. Despite its position in suburban Sunnybank, the nighttime "hive of activity" that is Market Square meant that a smart casual ensemble with a bit of "buzz" was required.
Enter this eclectic combination of cobalt blue, matte black & leopard print...
The vibrant crepe dress from Anthea Crawford - with its slight asymmetrical neckline & paneled waist detail - was the ideal base, particularly when mirrored by the bright, blue suede short boots that I picked up from my local Big W store for the bargain price of $5.
Although the dress has a below-the-knee hemline & is being matched with short boots - regarded by some as a leg-shortening fashion "no no" due to my 5 foot stature - it actually works due to the addition of black matte 40 denier tights in-between as a colour "break." The black of the tights is then repeated in the oversized Miss Sixty leather jacket used as an overcoat to ward off the rapidly falling temperature, creating a sense of cohesion.
Adding interest to the shades of black & blue were touches of leopard print - a Peter Morrissey for Big W long-sleeved, long-line crepe blazer & a large Anthea Crawford suede & vinyl handbag. Without the black leather outer-layer, the interplay of the cobalt & leopard could truly be seen... scroll down to do so...
