Weekend What I Wore: French Connection Maxi Dress, Singlet and Shorts

Another two days in one post. :)

Here's what I wore to go shopping and attend the Christmas Carols night at Beenleigh Baptist Church on Saturday:

Sunnies: Dior oversized sunglasses in black
Necklace: gifted frangipani necklace, made by a talented friend
Bracelets: the usual plus Oscar's Law bracelet and Hermes Kelly Double tour bracelet in rubis
Dress: French Connection Meadow Jersey Maxi Dress in black
Shoes: Cotton On thin strap thongs in black
Bag: Mulberry Lily in maroon metallic suede leopard

It was a warm weekend so wanted to wear a maxi skirt to keep my legs covered for the carols in the evening and yet stay cool during the day. The dress worked well, didn't get any bug bites on my legs as we sat and watched the carol service.


The sunnies were last worn here, shoes here and bag here. This is the first time I've worn this dress on the blog.

And here's what I wore for a relaxing Sunday and attending Church Online in the evening:

Sunnies: Pink leopard print sunglasses from Paddy's Markets in Sydney
Bracelets: the usual trio
Top: Just Jeans ribbed button detail singlet
Shorts: Jeanswest denim cuff shorts
Shoes: Cotton On thin strap thongs in black
Bag: Chloe paddington cross body clutch

Today was so warm! Simple singlet and shorts combination again to keep cool, and casual outfit as we didn't have many places to go.

Here's what I wore on Friday night to go to DH's Christmas party:

Dress: Jeanswest grey snake print maxi dress

Not the best outfit shot but I had to share with you the amazing view the venue had! We got to watch the sunset and there was even fireworks over the river. Just beautiful.

I wasn't sure what to expect for DH's work Christmas part as the dress code was "smart casual" which can have incredibly varied interpretations. I was happy with the maxi dress though, it was a very formal venue and I was comfortable all night. Some of the other ladies I met and chatted too had the same thoughts that I did - a dress always fits in! :)
