The Social Studio dress

This week, I'm trying to wear a few things I haven't worn for a while. This hand dyed dress is by the Social Studio, a fabulous collaboration between fashion and community; you can read some more about them over here. (I love the red outfit on their homepage!) The colour is so vibrant and it is such a great fit for me. Statement, bold, unique; ticks all the boxes. I must wear it more often.

Carlton Gardens and colour

My weekend was a bit of non event, caught the cold and spent most of it on the couch or in bed, felt robbed when Monday morning came round and it was back to work, ppfff. Thankfully, my cold has buggered off and yesterday I took a very pleasant stroll through Carlton Gardens, in the heart of the CBD and just a stones throw from my work. It's such a pretty, peaceful place and with no one around, the perfect back drop for a shoot.

In my previous post, I discussed my love for a pop of colour in Winter. I love black too, but when I wear it, it has to be with a wee bit of colour; however there are some ladies in the blogesphere who rock a head to toe black look, enter Sea of Ghosts. 

Adding a statement pair of tights or accessories can really bring a dark palette to life. With this outfit, I've gone for mustard and gold to give this outfit some presence, I like it, hope you like it too.
