It's no secret that I've always loved retro/pin-up style with a bohemian twist & this gorgeous Monet-waterlily-inspired cotton wiggle dress from Australian label Retrospec'd from the delightful Oh Jo Jo Boutique at the "top of town" in Ipswich is definitely my new favourite! There's nothing better than that moment when a new dress just fits like a glove right off the hanger (no alterations required) & that's what happened here - instant perfection! I've styled it up for lunch with friends by adding a pair of funky, modern blush pink matte & metallic leather chunky slingback heels from Django & Juliette that I found at online emporium Styletread for an absolutely post-Christmas bargain, a boxy blush vinyl handbag from Olga Berg (the one I wore to my younger brother's wedding) to carry all the essentials as it's surprisingly roomy - the TARDIS of formal bags, if you will - & finally, a colourful bohemian beaded necklace (made from vintage glass, clay & bakelite beads from the late 1960s) that a friend brought back for me from the Topanga Vintage Market in the USA last year.
