G H O S T L Y


Just thought I'd post the picture below to point out 'Oh em gee I'm so white I look like a corpse.' Summer couldn't come sooner

I got this amazing maxi dress from Market HQ while I was interning there a few weeks back, it's taken me this long to post about it and its beyond wonderful qualities. I have been honestly searching for the perfect black maxi for so long, and couldn't believe my eyes when it was sitting there plain as day in a box whispering 'Take me home, you know that I'm worth it'. Since I bought it home to live with me for all eternity I have been wearing it constantly, it's just so easy to go from day to night! Wore it around town during the day with flats and a cardigan, then slipped into some platforms for the IDU Fashion Parade at night. So easy! I love, love, love the little lacy detail on the bust, and need I say anything about the flowy skirt, you all know I love them! The only thing that is even remotely wrong with this dress is the colour, as you can see black dress+already incredibly pale girl= Photos that resemble bride of Chucky. But hey, I dig my skin colour, I've never liked being tan anyway.

If you've got any questions that you're burning to ask our Q&A post is still running and I'll be answering all your questions in the next day or two.

    I love this dress. I would dress it down with either sandals or flats. I'd probably even add some sort of scarf for a little color.

    Lovely dress! A black maxi is a style staple and the rad lace detailing really adds a punch. I'm feeling pretty white and ghostly myself! Bring on summer!! :)
