So excited to be sharing all the pictures of an outfit I styled up to attend a recent performance of Shakespeare's 1599 pastoral comedy "As You Like It" with someone dear who was visiting from overseas. Avid readers of the blog will already know how much I adore polka dots, so when I was gifted this gorgeous white & black spotted textured pique "wiggle" dress with cold shoulder detailing from Anthea Crawford, I mixed it with all manner of monochromatic accessories including a wide black patent cinch belt from That Shop in Coolangatta to provide shape at the waistline, matte leather pointy-toed mid heels with laces from Wittner, speckled vinyl shoulder bag with silver hardware from Nine West to carry all the essentials & of course, the jaunty little black straw cloche hat with black & white spotted grosgrain ribbon band for that little something "extra." When it came to jewellery, I chose a chunky silver hinged bangle from Wallace Bishop for some daytime sparkle & matching clear quartz necklace & bracelets (purported to promote harmony, energy, calmness & clarity) from Aussie Gemstones for those bohemian vibes.
