Alternative title: How to wear a cocktail dress during the day!

Navy blue sunglasses
Kenzo paisley vintage silk scarf (new!)
Blue merino wool singlet from Glassons (I bought this to wear at Burning Man at night)
Dress by Grace Sun, from Beloved Boutique
Black wool cardigan from Ricochet
Black/blue polka-dot wool leggings
Dizingof rose-print cowboy boots
Tarina Tarantino blue ring

Like my manicure? I got it done at French Pink (best nail salon in Melbourne, hands down) & the polish is Stephanie by Christina Fitzgerald.

It’s cold out there today! Sheesh!

As you can probably see from these pictures, the dress I’m wearing is super-elegant & definitely designed for evening. The fabric is silk georgette & very slinky. The thing is, if you put a bit of thought into it, you can easily dress this kind of thing down for different occasions. To wear at night I would probably accessorise it with high heels & a simple necklace, but with a splash of colour underneath, a scarf & some fun matching accessories, an evening dress can easily transition to corporate or even supermarket wear!

P.S. I took all these photos with an audience of construction workers & one lunch-eating corporate dude. I think they enjoyed the show!
