Melbourne Winter always has an ethereal quality about it. On the day of shooting the sky was amazingly ominous and the water was a perfect emerald green. I couldn't resist having the model get in the water for a couple of photos!
The model is wearing a black jersey maxi-dress. Maxi-dresses are a great basic for every girl to have in her wardrobe. Some tips to picking the perfect maxi-dress are:
(1) Select a good quality fabric such as cotton jersey or silk.
(2) Make sure that the dress has shape! If you have a larger bust, you should select a dress that has definition around the bust line to make sure that the dress does not look like a sack from the bust down.
(3) Get the length right! The perfect maxi-dress should skim across the ground when you are wearing flat shoes which will give you just enough length when wearing heels. More recently there have been a lot of midi-length dresses. Be careful with this length if you are slightly curvey - the mid-length proportions can cut you off and make you appear shorter and rounder.
Fur vests are also a great trend this Winter. Fur vests are the perfect way to add a sense of luxury to an otherwise simple outfit. If you are going to wear a fur vest, make sure you keep the rest of the outfit simple and don't over-style your outfit. If you are curvey or have a biggger bust, select a vest that does not add too much extra bulk. A number of boutiques are stocking beautiful genuine rabbit fur vests, however, there are also great options available if you prefer faux fur. The model is wearing a black cardigan with a faux fur vest attached. This makes the maxi-dress appear longsleeved and is a versatile option for Winter.
I have finished the outfit with a chunky necklace. The necklace has navy stones which is a great colour for Winter and works perfectly with the raspberry lipstick.
