Oaks Day Styling + Watershed #2

The Brisbane Winter Racing Carnival is here.

I am taking the liberty to fashion a little frippery based on the guidelines

of the calendar's dress code.

Queensland Oaks Day is the 31st May.

Be guided by femininity.

Pale colours, lace and flowers.

Not quite as below, but you get my point.

Here's a flora in-the-making.

And the resultant styling with a few sartorial elements.

 With a silver jacquard jacket.

Lace frock.

Lady-like length.
Not too tight.
Not too loose.

Statement necklace, de rigueur.

A fur wrap that's in the making.
I'll trim, sew and line with satin later.

 Lace You-You Louboutins.
Peep-toe pumps.

Frankly, my favourite shoes.

Gloves.
Lace, leather or satin.

Are you wondering about Watershed  #2.

Well, dear Followers of Frippery, I will tell you.

For a long time I have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of my 50th Follower.
I was 49 for a very long time.

And, the week before last, I got them.

From none other than the erudite and well-travelled Hattatts.

To say I was chuffed would be an understatement.

Then, in a puff their little lettered avatar had disappeared from my right-hand side margin.

I searched for days.

They have never come back.

Perhaps they are reading?



Dear Hattatts, if you are reading, I will keep burning my flame.
In anticipation.

See you for a Stradbroke Day fashion guide soon, it's red, black and white.

In case you are wondering.

Oh, and feel free to become my 50th Follower!
