What I actually wore #0024

I was making the trek out to the eastern suburbs to spend the afternoon with my family to celebrate my birthday. The special occasion warranted a new outfit, which meant my new summer dress. I was in love with its ethnic embroidery and black tassels, (and cream or white with black is always a favourite combination), but it was an unseasonably cool day for the cotton voile. I decided to wear the loose pants I’d bought in Dubai. Going for a Cossack look, I wore my hair in one long plait.

The black wedges have a dramatic cut, and feature red piping on the edges, a colour picked up by the red jade in my earrings.

I was quite gratified when one of my sisters actually exclaimed on the day that I looked like a Russian peasant coming in from the fields, in my smock and baggy trousers. Close enough!
