Dress: Retro Metro Paddington secondhand cotton voile, embellishment

Sandals: Nomadic via Maurie & Eve rope

A few sweet little pictures of my beautiful new-to-me pink floral printed cotton voile maxi dress with pom-pom style embellishment on the ruffled neckline, smattered sequins throughout & a drawstring with tassel at the waistline that I picked up from the amazing Retro Metro Paddington & wore with a pair of handmade gladiator-style rope sandals from a maker called Nomadic via boho-luxe emporium Maurie & Eve for another balmy day in South East Queensland's version of autumn weather. Also featured is my brand new baby, my new wooden, acoustic guitar from Yamaha that was a thoughtful (& treasured!) early birthday present from some dear friends. Despite never having played anything from the strings musical family in my life, I'm starting to pick up some of the notes & chords & pick out a few melodies & am looking forward to starting lessons soon, clearly on the way to being the folk singer that I've always held close to my heart.

If you read this blog regularly, you'll probably already know how much I adore folk music & so-called "protest" songs from the late 1960s & 1970s, so the opportunity to attend an intimate VIP performance featuring one of my best-loved folk-singing heroes was a chance to wear some of my newest acquisitions as well as treasured old favourites... I'm posing beside our new wooden back deck in a gorgeous black floral guipure lace "wiggle" dress with cherry blossom embroidery, navy satin lining & a fluted hemline from Anthea Crawford, funky white leather heeled slingbacks with shiny patent leather pointy toes & striped pink & black grosgrain ribbon straps from Aussie footwear stalwart Wittner, boxy black "hard case" vinyl handbag with white piping & bow detail from "girly" label Review, silver deco-style hinged bangle from Precious Stones Jewellers (a well loved & already well-worn present from Christmas 2018) & amazing silver & dyed-pink heather hinged bangle from Heathergems that I purchased while on holidays in Pitlochry, Scotland a few years ago.
