Like many women all over the world, I have long idolised the works of Regency author Jane Austen - particularly the celebrated "Pride & Prejudice" - & have often seen myself in the headstrong, intelligent & articulate Lizzie Bennett, so being able to see the tale unfolded in QPAC's Playhouse theatre was certainly a treat! For the occasion, I decided to dress to the theme with this stunning mint green, blush pink & pale blue embroidered floral mesh wiggle dress with soft polyester bodice & velvet-lined ruffle from "girly" Australian label Kitten D'Amour, styled up with a pair of strappy blush matte & metallic leather heels from Django & Juliette via Styletread's online emporium & a boxy blush vinyl handbag from Olga Berg that I picked up from my local Myer department store years ago to wear to my brother's wedding. When it came to jewellery, I wore some beloved silver pieces - a single, silver hinged bangle from Oxfam (first worn to my high school formal quite some time ago), a chunky Victorian silver belcher bracelet with oversized filigree heart locket & teeny tiny key from Kellie's Antiques that a dear friend gave to me for my 30th birthday & finally, a vintage "peace sign" mood ring made from 1970s silver & enamel (another wonderful birthday gift) for that final pop of pastel colour.
