So excited to share a few snaps of the stunning electric blue crepe dress with faux wrap detail, visible satin lining & asymmetrical ruffle from Anthea Crawford that I "styled up" recently to attend an archaeology lecture with a dear friend before indulging in a spot of antique shopping at one of my favourite haunts, Empire Revival Antiques... formerly the Paddington Antique Centre... To "tone down" the dress' vivid blue, I added a black faux leather waterfall jacket from Zara (purchased last year but similar styles are currently available), matte & patent leather ankle boots with silver zippers from Wittner, a funky indigo denim & black vinyl handbag with silver hardware from Nine West to carry all the essentials while adding textural interest & finally, a pair of silver hinged bangles - a chunky, art deco inspired piece from Precious Stones Jewellers & a delicate, thin option from (sadly now defunct) Oxfam Shop that was first worn to my high school formal 18 long years ago & has never, ever dated!
