Shoes: Asos 'five star' leather sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus Balenciaga classic double tour bracelet in pearly grey

Why I wore it:
This was such a pretty dress for such a bad morning! I've mentioned before I try keep this blog a positive, light hearted space, but that doesn't mean all my days go according to plan. The day doesn't always match up with the plans I have when I'm picking out what to wear. We were up early to have our traditional family Christmas card photos done. By the end of the morning, I was covered in pee, the baby bag was covered in pee (turns out Cooper likes to pee on bags when he's nervous!) and we were on our way home with the wrong photos.Of course, the day improved. Things are never as bad as they seem. We were able to go back out and get the photos fixed, the baby bag is machine washable, and I had the chance to try my Louis Vuitton neverfull as a baby bag in the interim. I don't recommend it! I carry so much in the baby bag and the weight in the neverfull meant the straps dug into my shoulder. I guess if you carry less it would work.
Last worn: embellished maxi dress, ASOS leather sandals, metallic silver mini MAC.
Other ways to wear: embellished maxi dress and cardigan, ASOS leather sandals and skinny jeans, mini MAC and a printed tee dress.

Why I wore it:
I'm cheating a little here. This isn't actually what I wore all day, just what I wore out to a birthday dinner in the evening. We spent the morning in the pool cooling off after Brisbane had a little taste of the heatwave that had covered the eastern parts of Australia. It was nice to get a little dressed up in the evening, the best part being that this dress doesn't really need any extra accessorising!Last worn: blue maxi dress, Ikwetta sandals, Rebecca Minkoff metallic mini MAC (above).
Other ways to wear: blue maxi dress for a day on the coast, Ikwetta sandals and skinny jeans, Rebecca Minkoff metallic mini MAC and plaid.
