Garden Stripes

Hello!I have been so busy recently that  have been struggling to keep the blog up to date with all the new piccies I have to share. This is an outfit that I put together for a shoot with my friend/photographer/blogger Lyndal Doran. All the pieces were bought in Thailand at the marketplace, except for my shoes which are from Vulgari - a small boutique store located in Stones Corner, QLD.

I love the fullness of this beautiful skirt - it actually has 2 separate pieces, an opaque petti-coat underneath and the stunning shiny, sheer layer over the top giving it that beautiful shape. Although this outfit features a cropped top, the high waisted style & longer length of the skirt keeps it modest enough for my tastes. These Vulgari heels are my go-to's to dress up anything. They are so comfy & suit many, many different outfits making them a really practical staple for any wardrobe. I'm a really big fan of stripes as I am sure you will come to find in later style posts. Especially coming into the older months, stripes can add the extra strike of drama to any outfit. I really love the way this crop toughens up this otherwise rather feminine outfit. Although these items were purchased overseas, something very similar to the striped crop & sunglasses would be easily available within Australia. If you are in QLD, you can check out Vulgari Boutique on the main street of Stone's Corner opposite Coffee Club - I really recommend this boutique for one off pieces & gorgeous classic style shoes too. xx
