Before the "Big Wet" we endured here in Queensland (& in Northern NSW) and this slightly "Smaller Wet" that we are currently right in the middle of, there were the usual pockets of beautiful, warm sunshine that made everything look very verdant & green going into the cooler months of the year here in Oz. On one of those days, I donned an utterly divine white cotton asymmetrical puff-sleeve midi smock dress with Greco-Roman-inspired braiding details from Aussie label Aje & took this beautiful pictures in my neighbourhood in the early afternoon after attending an event in my beloved River City. The rest of the ensemble took even further inspiration from the ancient Greeks & Romans with a pair of gladiatorial black leather heels with elastic ankle straps from Jo Mercer to add a modicum of height, a boxy black vinyl & suede handbag with oversized silver handles from French Connection to carry all the essentials & a plethora of silver jewellery adornments - a tribal cuff from Najo & a "wave" shaped chunky hinged bangle from the delightful ladies at Precious Stones Jewellers as well as an armful of vintage bangles in different styles that a dear friend gifted me as part of a "care package" while we were separated during the earliest part of the pandemic.
