Still feeling the late summertime vibes in this gorgeous red & white gingham cotton seersucker fit-to-flare midi dress with (faux) button-down bodice & sweet little belt from Kitten D'Amour, styled up for an afternoon amidst the greenery with a pair of lipstick red vegan leather t-bar heels with buttons & bows for a modicum of height (also Kitten), a white painted cane handbag from Renee Loves Frances to carry all the essentials, a silver Najo tribal-style cuff & art deco inspired wave hinged bangle from the delightful ladies at Precious Stones Jewellers for that touch of daytime shine.

As the rain continues to pour outside my window, I'm thinking back to much warmer, much sunnier days in South East Queensland... a mere couple of weeks ago! On that occasion, I was endeavouring to "beat the heat" as I headed out to the shops in a gorgeous pink, red & white Indian block cotton maxi dress with tie straps from Pink City Prints that I picked up secondhand (at a third of the original sale price!) from Restyld Co in Paddington, a pair of lipstick red vegan leather wedge heels with t-bar straps & white stitching from Kitten D'Amour for a modicum of height & a matching upcycled polyester quilted crossbody bag from my local Cotton On store to carry all the essentials while keeping my hands free.

Finally sharing all the gorgeous pictures of this darling brown & blush pink polka dotted cotton poplin midi dress with shirred bodice from my local Portmans store, worn with a pink satin bow clip from Lovisa for that added touch of flair for a morning spent browsing around the boutiques at the "top of town" in historical Ipswich. I've styled it up with a pair of blush & metallic leather chunky heels from Django & Juliette that I picked up for under $50 in the recent Styletread sale, a musk pink woven paper slouch bag from Cotton On to carry all the essentials & my usual silver accessories - a stack of vintage Mexican silver bangles, a single vintage silver bangle from 20th Century Antiques & Collectibles (formerly of Coolangatta, now Tweed Heads) & a brushed silver cuff from Wallace Bishop - for that touch of daytime shine.
