Hanging around in what I consider to be one of the most beautiful places in downtown historical Ipswich - the war memorial & park area beside the old Tafe building that backs onto cafes & restaurants & is always thoughtfully & lovingly landscaped & manicured to be lush & green & inviting... even on some of the hottest, sunniest summer days. I'm wearing a stunning navy, silver & burnished gold checked silk/taffeta camisole midi dress with a plethora of grosgrain & satin ribbons (ever-so-slightly altered) from whimsical British label Sister Jane's premium diffusion line, Dream Sister Jane, the bulk of which is readily available for Australians to easily purchase at online emporium Asos, a pair of tan leather & elastic sandals from Wittner to dress the whole look "down" for the daytime, a pattern-mixed floral canvas shoulder bag with tan leather strap from a little boutique called Ember & Twine, a thick & twisted brass bangle that I picked up many years ago now (at least 8) from The Way We Wore Vintage Fair & finally, a thin brass bangle from my local Tree of Life store to complete the look.

Keep scrolling for some final pictures among the beautiful greenery of the manicured garden...

& for those who wanted more... a few cheeky little snaps of the ride home, where I picked up some raisin toast with butter & a freezing cold chai fusion from my local Zarraffas Drive Thru for a quick & easy lunch...
