Having a magical moment in monochrome wearing this stunning ensemble to a recent special event in my beloved River City. I'm twirling about in the balmy morning air in a stunning black & white checked linen/silk puff sleeve mini smock dress with ruffled hemline from celebrated Australian designer Aje (worn backwards for a sleeker look at the front), a pair of black vegan leather dual buckle heels from Kitten D'Amour for the perfect fusion of style & comfort while walking about on the city streets & a vintage black silk & beading handbag that some dear friends gave me before the recent Spring Racing Carnival season to carry all the essentials while adding a touch of daytime sparkle. When it came to jewellery, I chose a statement-making silver draped necklace with black twine fastening from my local Tree of Life store, my favourite art deco wave-style hinged bangle from the delightful ladies at Precious Stones Jewellers at Uptown (formerly the Myer Centre) & a heavy antique silver bangle from 20th Century Antiques & Collectibles that my younger brother gave me for my birthday a few years ago.
