Finally sharing all the pictures of this gorgeous ensemble, worn recently to theatrical performance of Nathaniel Hawthorne's 1851 novel, "The House of Seven Gables," which chronicles the lives of a New England family & their ancestral home in Salem, Massachusetts. Dealing with themes such as witchcraft, retribution, justice & atonement, it certainly stands the "test of time" & holds resonance with audiences of today. For the occasion, I wore a black & silver floral jacquard midi dress with mesh bateau neckline that I discovered at Elly-Rae Fashions of Rosewood a few years ago, a pair of black leather lace-up heels from Jo Mercer for a modicum of height with the dress' refined silhouette & a black vinyl 90s inspired shoulder bag from Sussan to carry all the essentials. When it came to jewellery, I added a pop of colour with a green semi-precious stone chip necklace from bohemian wonderland Harmony Homewares, a jade bangle from the Shanghai Markets, a jade beaded bracelet from Wanfu Jade that my brother brought home from a trip to China & a deep green resin cocktail ring that a dear friend's little girl sent to me in the post.
