Darkhorse Thursday

Lot's of people asked me where I was going today because they thought I looked particularly dressed up. I think it must be because I was dressed so dark that it may have looked like there was some kind of special occasion. I'm not usually into wearing this much black but every now and then I'll bust it out. When I do it is usually met with this same kind of confusion.


The top is a light mesh with an awesome ruffle feature on the front of the shoulder. I acquired it from the Aotea Markets a LONG time ago. I was wearing it at the Kings Arms one night (maybe 3 years back) and met the lady who had made it. She was pretty stoked to see her top still being worn so we briefly bonded over it in the ladies toilets...


The skirt is a grey cotton with an asymmetric hemline and a black mesh ruffle. It's an odd shape but I think that's what I like most about it.


I have teamed it with rose patterned fishnets and patent black mary jane's.

I don't mind looking a little more like a grown up from time to time- but I'm not sure I'd wanna live there!
