In the Navy!!
This simple linen blend dress is doing everything right as we move towards Summer here in Australia.
I Love Me Some Details!
This dress is chock full of detaily goodness with these beautiful big wooden buttons that snake their way down the front of the dress:
I’m also loving the tabbed elbow-length sleeves which gives good coverage to my arms from the harsh Australian sun.
The split is a little high but, with the cut of the dress there is enough movement to ensure modesty.
There’s gathering at the back waist and a nice tie to help emphasise a nice waist line!
I’ve paired it with these lovely platform nude, zip-back leather sandals and my Mum’s little wicker bag. I like to keep Mum close when I can and this is one way I do that!
My old boho jewellery and cool leather cuff fits well with this look too!

December 5, 2018 at 7:08 amOh!! Thank you for visiting my little corner of the web – I feel so excited as Iβve been a fan of yours for years!! The backdrop is our farm in Eden, New South Wales and itβs pretty remote but so peaceful!! The linen dress is great for our hot Australian summers and the wicker bag was Mumβs which makes it special… have a great week, Laurie! π§π»ββοΈπ¦π

February 6, 2019 at 8:27 pmMy sister tells me that navy is the color that matches everyone. I think I agree. Looks classy and goes perfectly with your beige-colored shoes.

February 6, 2019 at 9:22 pmThank you so much, I think it is a classy colour and has a bit more energy than black – and yes I like be these shoes with it too or red or hot pink could look good too!! Clever sister! Donna π§π»ββοΈβ€οΈπ
