think we can all safely say that thin cotton dresses aren’t exactly spring appropriate but then heavier wool and knit dresses don’t really work either. It’s time to warm up those summer dresses and make them trans-seasonal – also I have a whole bunch of new floaty summer dresses and I just can’t be arsed waiting until it’s 35 degrees to wear them. I live in Melbourne… it’s unlikely I’ll see 35 degrees until 2015.

Wearing
Dress from Boom Shankar (gifted)
Tights from Big W
Swedish Hasbeens
Wrap cardigan from Supre tied with a waist tie from Metalicus
Rings and earrings from India, Singapore, Thailand and Bali
Necklace from Poppy Smaggle
OCC Lip Tar in Pretty Boy (the second the weather warms up even a little bit, I go hard core on the bright pink lip tar)
Worn For
A day in my office working purely on Smaggle (I rarely get a full day to work on my own stuff and it was bloody pleasant!), a walk to my favourite cafe, lugging shelves up the stairs and scraping 90% of the skin off the back of my hand and a freak out that Jakey The Three Legged Office Cat was having a fit. It turns out he just meowing weirdly out the window and shaking for no apparent reason. He’s fine. The weirdo.
Style Notes On How To Wear A Summer Dress On A Chilly Day
* Add a crop, wrap cardigan. You can take it off when you’re hot and pop it back on when you get chilly.
* Wear lighter denier tights – thick wool tights will look too heavy and are most likely a bit too serious for spring.
* Wear something a bit snuggly underneath – I’m wearing a cotton fit Nancy Ganz slip and I was the perfect temperature all day.
