a new outfit

I love these cotton trousers from Mix. I think I might just have to buy them, along with a new vest and possibly new shoes... it has been a while (since my last shoe purchase and Uggs don't count!). I'm really of liking this outfit... Comfy for round the house, geat with thongs for popping out for a coffee, and casual- cool with a nice pair of stilettos.  Yep, that'd do.

Mix seam-free tank $8

Siren 'Jessica' heels $149

time for a new pair

Thank you Rachel at Redcliffe Style for posting a pic of your lovely birthday heels!

I fell in love with them and got into quite a fluster, rambling to anyone who'd listen about needing to get to Myer quick quick, to grab a pair of these cool retro Pink Inc sandals for myself! Phew! I made it! It was meant to be. Fate. My size. $189 down to $29!

It's a rainy weekend, so I'm wearing them round the house. Happy me!

Lovely black satin and pink soles with a cute little diamante buckle

today I am wearing...

This is an old Supre dress that I've had for years (and hardly worn). Black broderie anglaise  cotton with low v-neck and a-line skirt. Has to be worn with lots of beads or a low necklace, to distract from the bra-less boobs.But I like it.

The occasion?  Gossip and a catch up with a very good friend.

My newbies. Black suede and patent Witchery slingbacks. Marked down from $169.95 to $49.95. Bargain! Head into David Jones or Wichery now and get yourself a pair of these wear-with-anything heels!

racing luncheon dress ups

So what did I decide to wear to the Melbourne Cup lunch?

I went with the black and gold option of course, because I wanted to wear my Tony Bianco Alamo heels!  The are so flipping high (even for me), so I'm glad I didn't have to walk around too much. I love this Review dress (from a couple of years ago). It is such a timeless style, so it was nice to have an excuse to wear it again.  

And, yes, I did end up wearing a fascinator.  Actually it's two headbands, worn together, that I found in an op shop last week.  The spotty feather is kind of retro cool.

There were some very well dressed ladies out yesterday, it was nice to see.  Everyone loves to dress up now and again don't they.  Well, until next year...
