The English Garden

One fine afternoon I went just as the Nancy Steen garden was in peak bloom and created a very elegant vintage set with my favourite dress which I like to call my "Wallpaper Dress" just because the floral pattern is like a medieval wall and the texture is like a curtain. Although that may sound somewhat unappealing, when mixed with a pair of cute white jelly heels & socks from Rubi Shoes, and little flecks of gold accessories I think it's a nice complimentary understatement of sorts. If you could ever call my style understated...

Outfit #1 - Pencil skirts & Knits

So for Outfit Week #1 - July, I wanted to showcase a particular couple of trends at the moment and a few of the stores that you can get the products from. I decided to keep it really simple to start and it's more about the product anyway. So this month it's all about pencil skirts and knits, kinda 50's and 60's influence. I love pencil skirts but it's important to get the right fit, and the ones from Sussan are such good quality. 

The best knits have got to be from Glassons, and they have a huge variety of colours. I personally love the red and the v-neck. Great selection of coloured wedges from Rubi Shoes, where they have blue, yellow, black, beige, red, and others. Really simple and timeless. 

The Wardrobe - Outfit Week #1 July

So I love cute things as you have probably noticed! My obsession goes right down to the last detail. I have a slightly eclectic sense of what I like, and for this outfit I liked the idea of the white stockings with the glitter socks over the top. I love heels and socks and in Winter it's an especially great combination. If you would like to know where to find awesomely opaque white tights (they are one of my staples) Farmers is the best place. For only $11.99 last I checked. This outfit is pretty standard day wear, but replace your knit with a tuxedo jacket, and you're good to go for a meeting or after work drinks.

The scarf, skirt, blouse, and socks are all from Sussan.
