Australia was doing so well combating the COVID but unfortunately two weeks ago the situation changed and some parts of the country have been put back in lock-down, which of course affects all of us 😔.
Once again, my husband and I made a decision to stop going out except for grocery shopping where both of us put on masks and taking walks in the less popular parts of Sydney.
And we do that, I try to make an effort to dress up in more stylish clothes than athleisure like the majority of people around us. No matter how comfortable it feels and how fashionable and widely acceptable it has become lately, I don't like wearing it outside the scope of physical exercising. My mind likes to differentiate between activities and find an outfit that matches it appropriately.
Case in point, this simple dress from Cos that I bought few years ago to wear primarily to the office but ended up wearing it to dinner and a theatre performance by dressing it up with court shoes, sparkly necklace and an evening handbag.
Luckily, due to its simple style and solid colour, it could easily be transformed into a comfortable casual dress which you wear to a weekend lunch and a leisurely walk along the beachfront.
I just swap my heels for a pair of sneakers, ditch the fancy handbag and accessories, put on a biker jacket and voila. Transformation is complete.
Outfit details: dress - COS (worn here), sneakers - Converse Chuck Taylor, biker jacket - Sandro (worn previously here), ring - Bondi Markets, sunglasses - Valley "A Dead Coffin Club".
Was your weekend good? What did you do?
Stay safe
Anna

What a versatile dress! I love the color and this is such a fun way to wear it! In the US it is finally required to wear a mask in grocery stores and indoors. We are on vacation and are choosing activities away from people when possible and wearing our masks when around others.

DeleteThis dress is so pretty. I really like it dressed up. I'm sorry to hear you're having more restrictions added again. This virus is beyond frustrating as it seems there's no end in sight!
ReplyDeleteSadly, I think you are right, it's coming back with double strength.
DeleteVery pretty dress, but the jacket is so cool! Love it!

I LOVE tee dresses for their "1 and done" ease and versatility. You've found some great styling options for this one. Thanks so much for joining the Thursday Moda link-up!
ReplyDeleteYou have to love the classic leather jacket since it's so versatile!

That's a cute little red dress and I like the Converse with it! :) I have been wearing my dresses like this over winter, although with leggings too! And it's a fun way to get more wear from a summer piece :)
ReplyDeleteWe had started getting out more before the changes in Victoria, and now with it being in Queensland we are going out even less, just in case. Although we have to go out for the school run, we have been doing grocery shopping online mostly!
Hope that you are having a great weekend :)

Love your little red dress Anna! That jacket is pretty special too. I am like that with athleisure wear. I wear it to work out and sit at home, but not much out. Sorry to hear things are not going as well for parts of Australia.

Such a great, versatile dress! I love the heels and bag. Just when we think we've turned a corner it all flares up again. I've come to dread doing the grocery shopping all over again! Thanks for linking up!

Love your little red dress from Cos! Looks fabulous styled with the leather jacket. I am wearing a lot of athleisure wear too - it's so comfortable. I think this virus is going to stick around for a while. Things are changing daily.
