While it's true that I absolutely adore colour, sometimes it's nice to style up a look that's a little more classic & a lot more muted. Case in point: this absolutely stunning ensemble that I wore to enjoy a recent ballet performance in my beloved River City. I'm wearing a divine black floral embroidered mesh empire-line maxi dress with sweet sheer straps & soft satin lining from City Chic, a monochrome ikat woven cotton cropped jacket from Tree of Life to ward off the chill in the air, a pair of black vegan suede & off-white vegan patent t-bar heels with buttons & bows & matching woven straw handbag with black resin beaded handle from retro-inspired Australian label Kitten D'Amour, a silver hinged bangle from Oxfam that I've had since my year 12 formal (& still love just as much as the day I proudly carried it home) & finally, matching silver & onyx charm bangle & ring from Pandora to complete the look.
