Frocks & Frou Frou

Top: City Chic

Jeans: Sussan

Shoes: Ben Sherman @ Solestruck

Said a reluctant good bye to Mum yesterday afternoon before hitting the Nancybird warehouse sale in Northcote to finally realise my dream of owning a Nancybird handbag of my own. It was madness at the sale, but I managed to snap up a handbag, and a wide belt for a song.

Meanwhile check out the amazing necklace that my little sister gave me for Christmas:

Dress: Pure Collection

Belt: Cynch

Shoes: Ben Sherman via Solestruck

Sunglasses: Versus

Owl Brooch: From the Camberwell Markets

Horse Brooch: Gifted

CatRabbit Brooch: Catrabbit

This dress is one of my favourites simply because it's so snuggly and cuddly with its cashmere and cowl neck.

It's a bit drab with the self-belt that came with it, so I usually team it with one of the belts that I have in my collection.

I also like to wear it with a little clutch of brooches which I hear are making a comeback at the moment.

I love brooches, and they're fabulously collectible, but I always feel a little old-fashioned when I'm wearing just one so I often try to put together a little set that complement one another.

Sometimes this is easer said than done.
