One dress three ways!

Today it was finally cool enough to wear this dress without worrying about sweating! I have a low heat tolerance.  I bought this dress a few weeks ago from the EGL sales community and have been dying to play around with outfits since.  It’s by Juliette et Justine, and is called Fleur et Rose.
It is quite a long dress with an A-line shape, so it’s not the puffy “lolita” silhouette but a much more demure, elegant shape.  I curled my hair 🙂
First, a simple co-ordinate.  This dress is so pretty you only need shoes and pearls to make it work!
Shoes: Vintage, from a cute shop in Perth.  I love them, they’re my sparkly ruby slippers.
This one is a bit teacher-ish.  Offbrand blazer and brooch, shoes from MaruiOne in Shinjuku (can’t remember the brand).

I think this works quite well but is a little harsh with the black x florals.
Shoes: Betts
Gloves: Vintage
Bolero: ValleyGirl
Choker: Diva (I think)
The room is actually about to get new carpet in, and has just been painted!  So it’s a good place to take outfit photos.

SS shoes and an outfit

I ordered these Secret Shop shoes from Qutieland back in June.  It was a pre-order, so it was always going to take a while for them to come.  They ended up arriving on the 11th of December, ONE DAY after I left the country.  So I only got to see them when I got home 2 weeks ago!
They fit super well!  And they’re very comfortable.  I wore them at uni all day yesterday, and did a lot of walking and standing up and playing marimba.

The heel is big but it’s nice and thick too.

Sorry this photo is so bad.  Bad camera I guess, or bad lighting.

I curled my hair but you wouldn’t know it.
Look!  I have a new present hanging on my bookcase!
I’ve been wanting to do more outfit posts but it’s been hot!  I don’t like wearing my really nice dresses when it’s hot.

So a bunch of stuff has happened recently. Here are some photos that I just took off my camera.

July 30th: I went to see Bill Bailey at the National Convention Centre. This is what I wore:

Beret: some shop in Japan. It has a bow!
Cardigan: SES
Scarf: A lady knitted it for me
Brooch: My nana’s.
Skirt: Handmade
Tights: Target

Then at the end of August we went to a Percussion gathering in Brisbane. It was nice and warm, and the concerts and masterclasses were fun. Charles and I went for a walk along this cool bridge:

Here’s the Brisbane Gallery where we saw the Valentino exhibition. Seen from the cool bridge. We had macaroons there.

Then it was my mum’s birthday. I made a cake:
It is hard to decorate cakes. Hard hard hard. But I made an effort.
It’s been raining a lot here. While I was driving to work I noticed that Scrivener Dam was overflowing. It must be like a billion litres per second. That’s a bridge where cars go.
My pa is sick, so dad and I flew to Melbourne yesterday to visit him. I brought my book of Irving Berlin music to show him. He liked looking through it. I don’t want to talk about it.
To get to the nursing home, Dad and I took the shuttle bus to the city, and then a train, and then walked. Here’s Spencer Street Station:
Curvy!
