OOTD | White Night

I love summer. I love to become a hippie for three months and wear flowing dresses, orthopaedic sandals and put flowers in my hair. Jess and I like to camp for a week at Woodford Folk Festival and this style is embraced even more over the New Years break. We leave in a few days and I wanted to get this outfit up here because I probably won't wear it at Woodford to save it from the more-than-likely muddy environment. I found it a few years ago to use as a costume and really fell in love with the intricate detailing.

I love how simple touches can make a super simple t-shirt and shorts outfit dressy enough for a night out. Layering my lace top over a dark crop-top or bra can instantly make it look like I put more effort in than I really did. The sheen of the fabric and cut of the shorts also adds a little bit of flair that really makes this outfit. I've been wearing this and variations upon it out a bit recently and thought I'd get some photos of it during the day. 

I used to layer the lace top on top of a singlet and as the temperature has been increasing the desire to do so has massively decreased. I think that with semi see-through garments such as this dark lacy bras and crop tops can be super cute and not revealing at all. 

The sunglasses are a recent spontaneous purchase from ASOS and I am currently sharing them with my gal pal Tara. They are much more her style than they are mine but I have difficultly resisting sparkles and cat-eye lenses. 

There is also evidence of what happens to white shoes when they are much loved. They do not stay white for long but I've currently got my eyes out for other shoes in this style. However, I'm sure that by the time I do something else will be around and catching my eye. 

Hope you've all had a smashing weekend!

Hi lovelies! Erin and I had a great day hiding from the heat in air conditioning on Sunday. We took some time to brave the heat and take some photos on the way home. I'm hoping you don't get sick of my simple summer dressing. It just gets way too hot in Brisbane to even contemplate layering.

Hi lovelies! In today's outfit I have used just about every spring fashion cliche... Pastels, white lace and sandals. The end result is something quite different for me, but I like it all the same.

Welcome to Brisbane, where the summer sandal hauling starts in September and never seems to end. About a week ago Jess walked into my work wearing these beauties in white. We then proceeded to walk back to where she bought them (earlier that day) where I purchased both of these on the spot.
