You know what? Sometimes, you just need to rock an all black outfit.  My trick to making this look more fun and less funeral, is mixing different fabric textures and a pop of colour on the nails.  My inspiration? This Nicole Bridger  dress.  It’s soooo comfortable, it almost feels like wearing pyjamas out in public.  My only complaint was that the length looked great in the fitting rooms, but when I got home, I felt like it was just a touch too long.  The hemline ended up hitting my calves at their largest point, something I definitely don’t want to make appear any larger than they are!  I quickly scanned my bedroom for a quick solution and there sat a pile of hair elastics.  I’d remember seeing some knot details recently and tried tying the black hair elastic around like a mini fabric bun – and it totally worked!  I now wear this dress all the time, knotted of course, because it’s incredibly versatile.  Gives everything a bit of a throwback, I remember tying hair elastics on my shirts back in the 90’s.  All trends come back around, I tell ya!

Also, I’ll be at the Digital Darlings Photoshop Course this weekend and I’m thinking that you should too!  There’s only a few spots left, as Bria (you might recognize her as the editor of Framework Magazine) is amazingly talented and I just know this weekend’s tutorial will be completely game changing.  Today is the final day to register, so don’t miss out.  All the details and how to sign up can be found here!
