Weather in Sydney is proving to be as schizophrenic as ever. After the glorious 35c weekend we now have a succession of wet 20c days which is forecasted to last all week. My lunch hour has been reduced to eating at my desk, which is hardly ideal considering how much time I already spend sitting in front of a computer when I really want to be out in the sun catching up on my reading.. grr.

This what I like to call my sack dress and so far it has proven to be one of the most versatile things in my closet. The asymmetrical shape and the ruching detail that runs through the length lends itself quite well to being worn unbelted. It actually has a round neckline but due to the slightly awkward way that it falls, it looks like it is intentionally angled and when it is belted up the shape then looks quite Grecian especially with a pair of strappy leather sandals. Also, I once attempted to roll myself into a ball and double this dress up over myself to test out the super-stretchy quality of the jersey fabric.. and the dress won. Possibly the best $20 I’ve ever spent :) What are some of your most versatile clothing items? x
