Remember how I said I’m often inspired by high end fashion shoots in making my daily outfit choices? Well today I thought I’d share my inspiration shot with you today. This outfit was in this month’s Vogue Australia. Of course the original is Dolce and Gabbana head to foot and my version is low rent and handmade, but meh.
I don’t wear the black-and-white look very often but love this D&G outfit and was inspired to give it a go. Being from a European fashion shoot it’s a springtime outfit, and I do think of the black-and-white look as being a very spring-y colour choice. Now I’ve got it on though I’m very pleased with how this ensemble looks. I also thrilled at how this skirt, first posted here, is shaping up in my wardrobe. (And no, it’s not actually made from a lace tablecloth, but certainly inspired by them…!) When I made it I thought it would be too summery to wear outside of the summer months, but am feeling very comfortable in it today with socks and boots. It’s actually a tad warm for boots but I’m going on to a fashion parade tonight and the nights now are cool enough that my toes cry out for sock coverage… so a little overheating during the day is necessary here.
Speaking of fashion parades, I’m pretty excited about going tonight. There will be some very swish-o labels on parade, so I’ll be doing lots of mental note-taking. A sample of the labels promised are Isabel Marant, Alexander McQueen, Maison Martin Margiela, Comme des Garcons and Junya Watanabe. Yes, (air fist punch) Perth is finally getting some of the avant garde designs in stores! Of course we love our boring basics, like Country Road etc but we love us some international wow-stuff too…
Details:
Skirt; own design, stretch lace
Camisole; Country Road
Cardigan; Picnic
Boots; Sunday, Andrea and Joen, from Uggy’s in Dunsborough
Market basket; can’t remember where I got it from
Cute look, nice and fresh!

oooh, a fashion parade sounds lovely …! And you know I am a fan of boots … sad that it's almost too warm to wear them again until November. Well, maybe October.
Oooooh, plantar fasciitis -yuck. I coached for 8 years so even though I didn't have that particular injury, had some deal with it … But have had my share (through 22 years of running) of stress fractures, bursitis … long illness … Will see what happens with this one!
You look great! Have fun.
Your interpretation looks great, and such a great idea! Hope you had a great time at the show, I'd love to see something like that… we do get high end brands in stores here, but all fashion shows are open to the industry only (gotta become a part of the industyry, eh!).
