Today I had a lot of fun playing around with textures and prints.  It’s gotten too chilly to wear this vintage halter dress without tights underneath, and I thought it would be a good opportunity to wear some of the textured tights I bought after Easter.  These ones were $3 from Big W, and I’m really very fond of them.

I am wearing:

-Black beret from Target

– Black bodysuit from Remember Me

– Blue and white checked halter dress (vintage 1970’s) from The Dookie Emporium

– Fishnet tights from Big W

– Dr Martens boots

– Resin ring from Violet Town op shop

– Silver ring

– Gold tone ring

– Amethyst ring

– Butterbeer cork necklace from Etsy

– Assorted bangles (mostly thrifted, some pilfered from my aunt’s gigantic jewellery collection).

This butterbeer cork necklace is part of my Luna Lovegood costume.  I was so excited after Supanova that I decided to take the necklace for another spin.  It’s such a fun accessory, and the light blue beads go so well with many of my clothes.

I kept my makeup pretty natural and simple.  I got a new blush from Bourjois and I’m head over heels for it.  It’s the prettiest pink shade and it blends beautifully.  It’s also delicately scented, but I can’t quite put my finger on what the scent is.  Something pretty and floral in any case.

I was pretty pleased with this outfit.  I think that mixing the sundress with tights, Doc Martens and a beret gave it a slightly 90’s feel.  I’m having a bit of a love affair with the 90’s look at the moment, and I’m always happy when I can find a more modern way to wear some of those trends.
