Aussie Curves - Feminine

Considering this is my first post for Aussie Curves, the theme of 'Feminine' could not be more perfect! I am a life long girly girl (as my blog name would rightly suggest!) so pretty much anything I have in my wardrobe would fit the bill. However the outfit I chose is one I adore but do not wear very much. The overall effect is very 1950's!

 

The photo is not the best quality as my husband borrowed my camera but didn't charge it, so a phone camera had to suffice this week!  My dress is the Lovebirds Dress from City Chic, I love it so much but the ivory base colour is not easy to style!  Also, in true CC fashion, the bow belt pops open at random so is not the most practical option.  My cardigan is also City Chic, this gets quite a lot of wear in spring and summer.  The ballet flats are another favourite, I wore them on my wedding day once the matching heels got too ouchy!  They're from Forever New.

The back of my cardi is the cutest!  Polka dots and lace are the ultimate in girly goodness.

I'm just wearing my usual daytime makeup here, a mixture of MAC and Revlon.  The necklace was borrowed from a friend years ago and never returned...oops!
