It's no secret that I absolutely adore all things retro & vintage & when I can't find the original article, I'm happy to wear well-made, considered reproductions such as this absolutely stunning rose print viscose wiggle dress with boning from British label The Pretty Dress Company via the delightful ladies at That Shop in Paddington. I've styled it up for an event in my beloved River City with a pair of 1930s inspired, black vegan leather dual buckle heels from Kitten D'Amour for a modicum of height, a black vinyl shoulder bag from Sussan to carry all the essentials including the obligatory face mask & hand sanitizer, a funky vintage resin bracelet depicting Toulouse Lautrec's famous painting "At the Moulin Rouge, the Dance" (1899) that a friend brought back from Paris that picks up on the same colour palette as the dress & finally, a pair of bright green resin sunglasses from Cotton On that were a last-minute, impulse buy & that just adds the little something "extra" as a finishing touch.
