One of the things that I love about the change-of-season temperatures in Queensland (nope, not the lugging around of jumpers after 10am...) is the way they always lead to a plethora of "layering" techniques in my outfits that never fail to add interest. Case in point: this absolutely amazing vintage gold velvet capelet with long front panels that a dear (late) friend gifted me as a present just before Covid took hold, that I've managed to incorporate into my sartorial repertoire quite a few times this year. I've styled it up for an archaeological lecture in the River City (featuring the "forgotten women pharoahs") with a stunning blue, black & gold floral brocade puff-sleeve mini smock dress from Scandinavian label Stine Goya - blue being a revered colour in Ancient Egyptian society - as well as a pair of black matte leather ankle boots from Wittner, a black leather & natural woven straw handbag from Witchery to carry all the essentials, a chunky black resin & gold hinged bangle & matching gold & onyx teardrop ring from boho-luxe designer Samantha Wills & of course, the obligatory black woven hemp facemask from Oroton to complete the pandemic-chic look.
