Josh Goot vest, Gary Bigeni dress, Tony Bianco heels
 

This Gary Bigeni dress is one of the more fancy pieces I own. I have plenty of dresses (all black) which translate pretty easily from day to night with a quick change of footwear. But this draped beauty always makes me feel dressed up; like I’m headed somewhere extra special (even when I’m not). And the bold red only amplifies the situation. Not even my well-worn ankle boots can tone down the fancy. But I have to admit, it is fun to put down the leather cap and feel like a lady every now and then.

It couldn’t be further from my weekend attire, which consisted of chucks and thermals for long walks in the Blue Mountains with incredible views and plenty of fresh air. We stayed at the sweetest little cabin which was surrounded by nothing but trees and endless quiet. Hands down best weekend in a long time.
