Today I’m not really in the mood for talking, physically I can’t force out more than a bark. Thank you Melbourne for getting me sick. That wasn’t going to stop me from playing along this week on Aussie Curves even though the lack of smile and sparkle in my eyes speaks volumes. Sometimes even a pretty outfit can’t shake up your mood.
I was given this cute little teddy bolero sample from the lovely ladies at 17 Sundays. It’s made out of the softest furry fabric and is so comfy to wear. I love the added texture it brings to the outfit plus my arms are saved from rubbing up against the beads.
The beaded shift dress is a sale item I purchased from ASOS Curve almost two years ago. It was my first ASOS buy, $250 down to $35 and was the last one in my size. To some it might be a little short but I’m confident enough to rock it with tights from We Love Colors.
It wouldn’t be a sparkle outfit without a little Glomesh. I picked up this evening bag at an op shop in Brisbane and it’s one of my favourites. I seem to come across gold, white and burgundy glomesh bags all the time but silver ones are rare for me.
I kept the shoes simple, suede wedges for comfort and to add a little height. I think that by having matte black legs and shoes it elongates my legs and lets the beaded shift dress be the focus of attention. On another note I straightened my hair for the first time in forever. I’m not sure if I like the straight or curly look more… maybe I’m lucky and I can pull off both?
Next week’s theme is TRIBAL and I’m so excited to see everyone’s looks. Don’t forget you can join in the conversation behind the scenes on the Aussie Curves facebook group.

Hey sweets. Sorry you were feeling so yucky! You look amazing! Gorgeous dress and I love the matt legs and shoes and contrasting texture!
Thanks Amanda, wasn’t sure I was going to pull it together in time but I’m pretty proud I created an outfit without the need to use my beloved killer sequin jacket from City Chic… I’ve worn that way too many times lol
This is a beautiful outfit. You’re gorgeous. And when I read the bit about saving your arms from the beading, I was like, heck yes! That.
Sorry to hear you’re so not well. Something about travel opens me up to sickness to! Weird. New germs I suppose.
Aww thanks for the love Suger, I need to today. The mixture of working, hotel beds, plane aircon, no sleep, melbourne winds… bound to happen.
Awwww feel better soon Dani! You don’t look sick anyway! And you know I love that glomesh!! I have one really similar! X
YAY for Glomesh!!!

Sick or not, you look totally amazing.. that dress is making me make grabby hands at the screen.. and I love the furry bolero too.

I’m sorry to hear you’re unwell! I hope you’re feeling better soon.
You look lovely nonetheless. That dress is just beautiful, as is the fluffy jacket. Rocking the sparkle challenge Dani.
Thanks I loved your colourful style, we should SO do the races together :)
Even when you’re not well you look amazing. The teddy bolero is all kinds of cute. The beaded dress and Glomesh are a perfect combination. The dress was an absolute bargain! The ring you’re wearing is stunning too. Hope you’re feeling better soon.
Aww thank you Jeanie, yeah I still can’t quite get over the price.
This outfit is simply stunning; why didn’t you bring this dress to New York!?!
Because it’s SUPER heavy :)
major packing dilemma :/ when you can’t take it all the lovely things in your wardrobe
You look gorgeous Danielle… loving you with straight hair :-)
Thanks, I wore it straight all last year but this year i’ve embraced my curls. Fun to change up my look.
That dress is so beautiful. Perfectly matched with that comfy but stylish jacket (that is the bugger about beading and arm rub pain). And it is nice to see your hair straight again as a change. I hope you pep up soon……..especially with another trip on the horizon.
you look hot, even though you’re not feeling well. xxx
Tickly teddy is cool but big ted is amazeballs :P Sucks that we both got sick, go to drs immediately and chase the germies away.
Love love love that dress.
For someone feeling so average in health, you’re looking rather smashing in the photos! I’m loving that little black top over the dress. You’ve inspired me again. I think it’s my next craft project! xox
You look gorgeous, that dress is amazing. ASOS certainly know how to put on a good sale! I hope you feel better soon.
WOW Dani you’re divine. The bolero is mega cute, that dress is TDF. You sparkle even when you’re not feeling good, hope you get well soon Lovely ;) Thank YOU so very very much for your lovely comment. Hope it’s a great week for you too.
