I’ve always been a purple girl.  Perhaps I grew to like wearing a purple school uniform for 6 years but either way the colour has stuck with me.

This purple is more of a soft lilac purple which goes adorably with my pastel pink accessories including my favourite pointed stiletto pumps. 

I purchased this dress from Boohoo.com in October for $32.   Skater dresses are always a great fit on my body shape and I love square necklines.

The material is quite thick so whilst I haven’t been able to wear it too much in the warmth of Queensland Spring, I’m heading to the UK for Christmas so I will wear it with stockings for a Winter look.

Now because I’m a little top heavy {okay a lot top heavy} with not much of a waist I accessorised with a pink belt and long neckline to break up the bulk of the dress.

The belt gave me some shape to my bust and waist.

I looked everywhere {maybe three stores} for a pink belt.  In the end I purchased a belt from Kmart for $7 and a pink nail polish for $3 and created my own pink belt.  Not the right shade of pink but oh well….you can’t win them all.

 It’s a simple matchy matchy kind of look that I love to recreate again and again.  I felt feminine, elegant and beautiful.
