Obviously I’m a great advocate of dressing up for fun.
That means colour and comfort, prints and denim, flats and loose silhouettes. So how can I have my cake and eat it too? I feel like this look I wore in Paris for the Balenciaga show (don’t miss my edit HERE) still ticked all my boxes but also repped some really Lady Boss vibes. Here’s why!
-
The H&M booties are mid height, so they were comfortable, but the patent finish takes it up a notch. A girl who means business needs to look the part. In the words of a fellow Aussie bad ass babe we know “I’m so fancy”. -
The skirt is Ellery… need I say more? It’s really the satin finish and the cut that make this piece so elegant. The real take home is that it’s super comfortable - and wearing a longer skirt means there’s no risk of flashing my knickers which is decidedly NOT something a confident girl in control of the situation should be allowing to happen.

This shirt is from Balenciaga (squeee!!) and it’s just a great cut for my body - athletic styles. Means I’m feeling confident because I know I’m doing it right and the stripes give it just enough personality that, in the words of Riri and Bey, I’m feeling myself.
-
This Delvaux handbag is the most elegant and beautifully made piece I own. Damn it’s so lovely I feel like I should be wearing it as a crown and not a bag… maybe for another post.
Seems so easy doesn’t it? You can still dress for comfort but look like you mean business. Get it!
