Neutrals with a simple sundress

First off, my apologies for the last two posts of pictures-sans-text. I was locked out of my account for a couple of days. Thanks for the warm welcome to Blogger, Google! (I kid, I kid – don’t blacklist me). But, despite the technical problems, starting this blog has been a genuinely rewarding experience. I absolutely love reading your comments and am so happy that people are taking an interest in my humble little blog. I’m acutely aware that it’s not nearly as sophisticated as some of the others out there, but seeing a gorgeous layout, a stunning set of photos, or an exquisitely-written post gives me something to admire and aspire to. Yes, this blog is a work-in-progress and I’d love to hear your feedback. If you have any suggestions for me, whether it’s how you’d remix an outfit or improve upon a recipe I show on the site, or a feature you’d like to see, speak up and start the discussion! And don’t forget to follow me J

OK, now that I’m done with the sentimental stuff and being a stereotypical Canadian…on to the clothes we go! I found this sundress at a thrift shop in Sydney. The print reminds me of the sort of blue-and-white printed wallpaper you’d see in older homes in France. I liked how the extra lining in the bottom half gives it a poufy effect. This style is good for defining your waist and giving an illusion of curves if you have a boyish figure like me or for concealing a larger bottom half if you’re pear-shaped, but with a small waist. I added neutral colours in the form of the jacket, wedges and earrings, but a remix option is a pair of kitten heels and cat’s-eye sunglasses. I’ve been styling my hair the same way for the past little while because I’m overdue for highlights and this conceals my roots best. Please don’t recommend I see my colourist (see ‘suggestions’, above).
