Very Excellent Habits

How To Wear A Weird Dress And Not Give A Toss

P

ersonal style is a bit bizarre. When I was in my early 20s, I wore a lot of lace and pink – very Alannah Hill. Then I went through a very monochrome, almost grungy phase – think Rick Owens. I’m moving in to a new phase of style now that’s more structural and minimalistic – like Yohji Yamamoto. Someone commented the other day that they miss my lacey, girly outfits from the early 2000s but I don’t miss them. I loved that phase and I’ll always have a soft spot for lace but I think the way you dress reflects who you are and where you’re going. I don’t think I’m done with pink and lace but right now I’m all about clean lines and minimalism.

Wearing

Dress from COS

Shoes from TOMS

Coin necklace from my grandfather

Rings and earrings from Thailand, Bali and Byron Bay

This dress is like a weird cocoon and when I tried it on in the store, another customer said it looked terrible. How rude right? I kind of bought it just to show her she wasn’t the boss of me. The first day I wore it, I received three separate compliments on it. I really love the way this dress makes me feel – like I own an art gallery in Manhattan and I have a dog Winifred and I only drink whisky that’s aged 100 years or more.
