Dress: Stop Staring (via Unique Vintage)
Shoes: Wittner
Thanks girls, for indulging me in my "boo-hoo, my clothes are so boring" fit yesterday! I've got over myself today, and dusted off (that is, finally got around to ironing) this wonderful Two-In-One dress that I bought last year, and haven't worn for - oh, months.
I'm seeing this style of skirt&skirt combo dress everywhere in Australian stores and online at the moment, and they're such a great way to rock the secretary chic without having to constantly re-tuck your blouse into the back of your waistband.
Aussie buyers can try Portmans, Kmart, Ezibuy (especially Sara, who are doing a couple of dressy versions)
Internationally, Dorothy Perkins has a nice version with a ruffled bodice. Asos is totally on-season with this divine purple colour block dress. Torrid had at least six at time of writing There's stacks of them on eBay, but it's a bit laborious to search for them because everyone calls them something different. Start here for some cheap n' cheerfuls.
As for my Frou-Frou:
Do you like my earrings? They're made of real flowers and leaves that have been pressed, then preserved in resin.

lovely as always, though this sort of dress would be wonderfully set off with ankle-strap shoes.
b/w colored tights well done

I LOVE the dress, looks gorgeous on you!!!
That dress is the perfect style for you, looks tops :)
Love the dress! So very flattering. But where did you get the gorgeous pressed flower jewellery?
So pretty as always. Those earrings are ace!
I *love* this dress!! You look so great in it
Thanks for the link, Anon - I may have to try it in some muted colours... work my way up to the brights! I've actually worn the dress with ankle-strap shoes - they're flat though.
Thanks, Derya & kylcam!
Michelle, I got the earrings from a market stall at the Night Markets in Melbourne (I think they're called Magical Florals, but the website seems to be down -http://magicalflorals.com.au ), There's a few online sellers who do them. Try:

Hi Lilli !
I look at your blog tone in daytime, I find it magnificent. YOU are magnificent! I have also a blog and dedicated you an article today. I stole you from photos but do not worry you, I have blinded your face.
Excuse my very bad English, I am French and I speak very badly your language.
Have a very good day !
