After working in retail for years, I know that green dresses just don't seem to sell as well in stores as other colours, particularly reds & blues... but for some reason, I simply adore green dress in all shades! This lime green cotton number from Bohemian Traders with its exaggerated puff sleeves, shirring across the bustline & tiered midi hemline is a case in point: I've styled it up for a trip to one of my favourite local cafes with a pair of white & tan leather sandals from Easy Steps via Myer, a floral cotton handbag with retro-style metal clasp & leather strap from delightful little boutique Embers & Twine at the "top of town" in Ipswich, a chunky vintage brass bangle that I picked up years ago from The Way We Wore Vintage Fair (apparently it came all the way from America) & finally, those green resin framed sunglasses from Cotton On for that added flourish.
