Frocktober: Back on Track
With all the madness that was my 1000th post last week despite the fact that I continued to wear a dress every day you couldn’t share that with me so I’m quite happy to report that things are well and truly back on track.
Today’s dress is courtesy of Velour Vintage, you may remember I’ve mentioned their support of my Frocktober effort in this post. I’ll also be hosting a give away for a dress from their store so make sure you stay tuned….who doesn’t love a free frock?!
This outfit is a combination of some recent purchases, a vintage dress on loan and some online shopping. I haven’t owned leopard print shoes for at least 5 years now, and similarly to my nude heels I’m wondering why I deprived myself for so long. They make every outfit look uh-mazing so I’ve no doubt you can expect to see plenty more. I picked these babies up from Endless.com which is my new favourite online shopping haunt. They offer 25% off selected styles so I even got a discount. I can’t resist a little bargain carrot dangled in front of my nose- I’m hopeless!
The jewellery is from a store called Imagination on Swanstons St right near the Commonwealth bank down the junkie end of town. And I don’t mean junkie as in trash, I mean actual junkies.
I digress I was walking to Flinders St station the other day and spotted this relatively new shop. I popped in(it is my job after all to tell you about new places to shop in Melbourne!) and picked up this diamonte necklace for about $19(they have 10% off selected necklaces at the moment) and this tiger bracelet. I can’t remember how much it was, under $20 from memory. I’m wearing it with my Turkish necklace because as I told one of my students the other day, why wear one statement necklace when you can wear two?
What I’m wearing:
Vintage Diane Freis dress: Velour Vintage
Calf skin leopard heels: Steve Madden from Endless.com
Large coin necklace: Turkey
Diamonte necklace: Imagination on Swanston St
Tiger cuff: Imagination on Swanston St
Belt: Dotti

Hi girl:)
You are looking smashing as always…
It is good to see that the sun is shining were you are from. Here it is getting darker by the minute, and colder by the second!
Lovely dress:)
Have a great day…from Oslo
Love the necklace, I’m a Bit addicted to statement necklaces at the moment..!
It’s sort of sunny but not summer just yet! They’ll be plenty of sunshine on the blog when that happens I can assure you
I’m also addicted to statement necklaces, strangely inspired by Anna Wintour!
I love that necklace but I could never pull it off. It’s so pretty though. Your hair is looking particularly gorgeous too
Anna Wintour does statement necklaces so well! I love the champagne coloured one she’s always sporting.
I love the shoes they are fab. You look great in that dress I love how the red belt reflects the red collar.
That is an awesome outift. The clash of the prints is wonderful. I need me those shoes.
CClarebear- thanks, the hair took ages to create!
Rodarte Rebel- I’ve found a similar one by JCrew in the States but its not exactly the same..although I have a feeling Anna’s is one off so even if I try a knock off will have to suffice.
Donna- thank you stylish lady!
Miss T P- I like a good clash of prints, life’s too short to match!
