Spin me Round

Dress: Basque Woman @ Myer
Shoes: Wittner

I saw this dress had been discounted down from $160 to $100 a few weeks ago when I was out shopping with Himself's Mum - I nearly bought it then, but wasn't entirely 100% sold. I like the deco styling and the contrast between the black and the white, but my shopping has been a bit off lately (I know! Inconceivable!) and I wasn't sure that I was willing to trust my judgement on such a statement piece, especially since the last thing I needed was another dress.

When I went back over the weekend it had been discounted down again to a paltry $50, and for a 100% merino wool dress that's pretty good in anyone's book so I bought it.

My inner Lillipilli (the one that's still four years old and likes pretty things and pink) approves because it twirls delightfully!

(see, I told you I'd find that smile somewhere)

Brilliant buy! I think the twirlability factor is worth more than $50!

Great dress, though think it would look better with black tights.

The dress looks gorgeous on you. I think that black tights will be too much maybe because I like the bare leg look :)
