Attenzione! It’s all about the details. In the case of this outfit it was texture and a touch of military. The dress came first, a wool cable sleeveless number by Anthropologie. Cable knit dresses are always a risk, because they add bulk – I guess that’s the reason the dress is sleeveless – but they are so warm and cosy in the cold weather. I really love the tomato-red colour too. The vintage Mai-Tai lipstick by old Aussie brand Poppy matches perfectly.

I added a little military-inspired slim-fitting cardigan for warmth, a vintage and fringed knitted silk scarf (the kind you see 1920s pilots sporting), a white wool beret that I’ve had for years, and cable textured tights along with my multi-strapped patent Mary-Janes. At ease.
