What I Actually Wore #0066

Weather: a very warm 27°
Time Allowed: 15 minutes

It was a lovely Sunday, and I was visiting my mum and dad, along with my eldest sister Blossom and her husband. It was very easy to pick out a dress to wear, what with the sunshine and the fact that my new Maeve dress was hanging temptingly in my closet. The stripes on the dress are actually fine red peppermint pinstripes, rather than the candy pink and white it looks from a distance.

Time, however, was wasted searching out the right jacket. I had originally intended to wear the 80s puff-sleeve jacket but with it there was far too much cream in the entire outfit. I chose instead a red and white tweed jacket. It certainly looked very cute, but it transpired to be far too hot for it at all!

Both the tiered dress and the vanilla cream puff jacket were bought on eBay.

Even my mum was moved to approve of [the shoes], and she often snorts at the more outlandish of my vintage garments.

My wedges were also new, and I absolutely adored them. By Melbourne label Habbot, they were a splurge even on sale, but for once, expense did go hand-in-hand with quality (butter-soft Italian glove leather) and comfort. The shoes fit like an, ahem, glove.

Every time I wear them females around me exclaim in delight. Even my mum was moved to approve of them, and she often snorts at the more outlandish of my vintage garments. But then mum was wont – back in the old days in Yugoslavia – to take my older sisters (my not yet being born) on trips to Italy to purchase new shoes and winter coats, so of course she’d approve.
