The Dark Side Darling Ranges

The cold of winter has suddenly made me want to wear dark things, so here is my ‘dark side’ Darling Ranges. This is confusing my poor little brain because right now it’s the heat of summer in Perth, so I’m going to have to suddenly get into summer dressing. Oh heck, what am I saying, who’s gonna complain about wearing sundresses and sandals all day? Not me.

Does anyone recognise this dress? Yes, it’s the Darling Ranges dress – but in navy blue! This was the fabric I originally planned to release the dress in until my supplier couldn’t get me any more stock – funny how things turn out though because I feel like the brown version fits the collection much better. And now I get to wear this one all the time and fulfil my never-ending desire to have dresses no one else has. That’s fate.

I gave myself pin-up hair for a change – and there’s a slight possibility I might be a little bit obsessed now… I may or may not have worn my hair like these for 3 days straight.

There also may be a possibility that I’m obsessed with my new boots… and refuse to take them off. Whatever. I don’t think I want to live in a world where that kind of obsession is bad!

Okay that’s enough darkness for me, I’m off to pack for my trip – because I leave on Saturday!! yippeeeeeee

1. LOVE the dress in navy! I would like 2 please.

2. If only Steve Madden shoes fit my wide feet, those boots are the perfect tall black boots. sigh.

Oh I love this for the Winter season. The brown one is definitely much much better for the Fall and it matches the rest of your collection. Good thing they ran out of this fabric, huh? =P

have fun packing!
