Knowing full well that my best friend MasterCard would definitely say "no" to another dress purchase, I searched through my wardrobe and found this Zimmermann from their Spring/Summer 2011/2012 collection. I fell in love with this dress the minute I saw it float down the runway, three years later and my love affair with this piece is still going strong. The intricate lace cutout bib, the delicate insets of Hessisan and the crisp white and neutral colour palate ensures this dress is a standout where ever I wear it. This dress truly is a testament to the saying "you get what you pay for" and proof that it pays to investment shop.
Once I'd decided this dress was the one that would be making an appearance on ANZAC day, my next task was accessorising. I wanted to stick with the neutral colour palate and I definitely wanted to wear a hat (as most of you know, I'm currently obsessed with hats). After searching high and low for a fedora that would be shipped in time, I settled on this Ace of Something fedora in Camel- I would highly recommend their fedoras it was warm, comfortable and had the perfect brim size- not to big, not to small. I then snapped up this Oroton envelope clutch on sale and completed my look with stacked Mimco heels (also from a few seasons ago). As the dress speaks for itself I kept my jewellery to a minimum.
I must admit I was very worried about the weather during the week (even though I was going to be inside- I hate being cold). I was panicked that I would have to do an outfit change right up to the 11th hour, although Melbourne came through and we had perfect weather all day, with a slick of red lipstick I was all set.
Hope you all had a fabulous day too and enjoyed celebrating and reflecting upon the scarifies others made for us.

A Stylish Affair
I have chosen dresses for you to shop along the same colour palate, these will all be great investment pieces which I promise 3 years later you'll definitely still be loving.
