Off-The-Shoulder Fun …

December 13, 2019

Black Top and Skirt…

Earlier this week we attended a bit of a Christmas Party with the Beekeepers Association so I made some tasty chicken wingies and my date and apricot slice and headed off in something easy, although quite different for me.

Christmas Casual Cuteness!

It was a pretty casual thing so I wanted to keep things simple, although cute.

At first I had thought of wearing one of my fifties-style floral dresses but it wouldn’t have been appropriate and then I remembered I had the black denim skirt and thought it would combine nicely with this new, pretty cotton off-the-shoulder top.

As I’ve said before, I like to shop locally and purchased this fresh and fabby top from a lovely boutique in Merimbula that has things that make a bit of a statement, are ethically produced and are affordable.
The top is fairly voluminous and would definitely swamp me if I didn’t try to control it somewhat, but I wanted to show off the beautiful embroidered scallop feature along the hem, so I did the French-tuck thing and pushed the front of the top into my skirt waist but left the back down to expose the details.

Pretty Details In The Top!

The sleeves are a sweet delight and they too are edged in scalloped embroidery of contrasting off-white and feature elastic stitching which gives the sleeve a feminine look and keep them comfortably in place.

This contrasts with the neckline which slid up all night and fortunately I’ve been given some hints on how to actually keep it off my shoulder so will try them next time I wear it and report back!

Some Pretty Additions!

Although I kept my outfit simple, I added a bit of bling here and there with a little bag bought from a local op-shop for only $7, my strappy sandals, big floral bracelet, my dragonfly necklace, silver hoop earrings, detailed belt and tortoiseshell sunnies.
