Although it doesn't seem like it right now, sitting here shivering at the computer screen while drinking a cup of hot Milo with marshmallows, the final few days of Autumn - a mere 2 days ago - were actually unseasonably warm. How things change in South East Queensland!
Below are the casual, almost "beachy" outfits I wore on Saturday & Sunday, relegated to the "next Spring" pile for as long as this cold snap lasts...

LOOK #1
Dress: Ruby Yaya cotton & mirrored beads
Slip: TS elastane
Sandals: Airflex by Betts for Her patent & sequins
Bag: Adorne vinyl & studs
Necklace: Prouds silver

This gorgeous, crushed cotton Ruby Yaya shift with three-quarter sleeves & multi-coloured, mirrored embellishment was the ideal choice for a lazy Saturday afternoon spent traipsing around antique shops in my hometown, particularly when mixed with a pair of flat, silver sequinned sandals & matching boxy silver handbag. The sheer nature of the fabric meant that more coverage was required & my trusty white slip from TS fit the bill, the thicker elastane fabric creating a nice line. Finishing the look was a thin silver chain with a "peace sign" pendant to mirror the circular details on the dress.

Dress: Ankoa cotton
Sandals: Piping Hot @ Target leather
Beaded Bracelets: Emmala wood & silver

Natural & make-up free for a casual Sunday spent soaking up the sun in my own backyard, trying out my newest Ankoa acquisition, the "Martha" dress in a vibrant blue & green print dubbed "Bluebell." I loved my first pink print maxi so much - the soft cotton fabric, the floaty style with shaped yoke & tie details - that I bought another... & may yet purchase a third in sweet shades of purple...

Finishing the bohemian look was a pair of flat, brown leather lace-up sandals & neutral wooden beaded Emmala bracelets with silver charms that I picked up at the Coolangatta Markets earlier in the year.
