shift to bright

Cobalt // Dion Lee silk form shift

Tangerine // 3.1 Phillip Lim silk dress

Cherry // Bec & Bridge lace backless dress

Rose // Acne satin shift

Four delightfully simple bright shift dresses to get me out of my early winter blues. Cobalt is always going to be my first choice though, and the incredible Dion Lee dress is on sale at Green With Envy.. So tempting!!

So here's my latest purchases; the best winter jacket and some serious boots. It mightn't look snuggly, but this jacket is super insulating and comfy. I figure the best way to beat the elements this winter is to wear the fashion equivalent of a wetsuit. I wish neoprene was sold non-commercially, if I could buy that stuff by the metre I would be making my entire wardrobe from it!

Very excited about these Therapy boots, so much height and still comfortable, perfect for winter nights out.

The best thing about small towns? The op shops! On my recent trip up to Jervis Bay in NSW I found this outrageously bright Gloster shirt dress, thinking it would be an excellent addition to my 'brights' wardrobe. It had pretty horrible sleeves and came down below my knees so I simply snipped off the bad bits to turn it into the perfect lazy summer dress... And would you believe this set me back a whopping $3?! It had a $6 price tag on it, but the lovely ladies running the op shop couldn't justify letting me pay that much for it so they cut the price. I almost burst out laughing!
