Dress: Thrifted via The Red Cross
Belt: Free with Bettie Page Clothing dress
Shoes: Hush Puppies
We’re having a real Indian Summer in Melbourne at the moment, which means I’ve been able to wear my summery dresses for a few precious more days before packing them away in lieu of boots, opaque stockings, and cardigans, cardigans, cardigans.
This was one of the most successful el-cheapo thrift purchases of the year. Twenty bucks from the Red Cross thrift store on Brunswick St. It came with its own self-belt, but I wanted to mix it up a bit today and thought I’d try a bit more colour with a bold monochrome belt instead.
I’ve been looking for a bright yellow belt, or a dark navy blue belt to wear with this dress, but I haven’t had much luck on either front, so instead I’ve opted to for the *pop* of a bright red belt instead.
Looking at the photo I feel like I probably should have tied the look together with red shoes, too… next time, next time.
I too have been having one last fling with my summer frocks. It has been delightful. Dear heart, am I right in thinking you are living somewhere in, on, around the Man U building? You lovely backdrop seems so familiar
I think the pop of red belt without the matching shoes is great-not too matchy matchy but still color! I wish I could deal with op shops but…I cant. I can only do second hand when its from people I know, who I know shower and stuff!!!!
And now its pouring rain-ah, Melbourne!!!!
Georgous dress and i love the colour of your hair 🙂
I adore you in yellow. This dress is so cheerful and sweet! Well done!
Have you thought about making your own fabric belts? That way you could make whatever colour you wanted.
