Finally sharing all the pictures of this gorgeous ensemble I wore to attend a recent performance of Agatha Christie's "The Mousetrap," otherwise known as the world's longest running play! The murder-mystery or whodunnit as it's known began in London's West End in 1952 & ran continuously until 2020 when it had to be paused due to the pandemic - before reopening to grateful audiences again in 2021. I was lucky enough to see it in Brisbane (no pesky 23 hour plane flight) with a brilliant cast, who really did the subject matter justice. As with many Agatha Christie novels & television adaptations, the play begins with reports of a murder in London & a group of seven strangers finding themselves completely snowed in at a remote country guesthouse... only to find, when a police sergeant arrives, that the murderer is in their midst... One by one, the characters - all suddenly suspicious of one another - begin to reveal all manner of sordid secrets from the past... 

But I digress. This blog is mostly about the fashion, so I probably should get around to talking about that again. The stunning, vintage-inspired twill dress in a sumptuous shade of purple/light aubergine is from celebrated Australian designer Anthea Crawford & I utterly adore it's late 1950s/early 1960s silhouette with cap sleeves, princess seams & matching belt. I've styled it up with a pair of black vegan leather dual buckle heels from Kitten D'Amour, a black vinyl shoulder bag from Sussan to carry all the essentials including the ever-present hand sanitizer & facemask & finally, a chunky silver hinged bangle in the shape of an art deco wave & Najo tribal influenced silver cuff, both from the delightful Precious Stones Jewellers in the Myer Centre.
