Spring may be taking its sweet time to properly arrive (yes, even in Queensland!) but when it does, I am ready. I love the simplicity of popping on a cotton frock when the heat is on.
Lola Australia knows its way around a perfect summer frock. I first discovered this label via the fabulous Offspring costume designers who dressed Nina Proudman in the label. Remember this finale number in 2014?
This season, when I first saw this print in the dress below, it was love at first sight. I think you’ll understand why.

I love the loose and lovely shape of this dress. It’s a style I seek out as the temperature rises. I love a longer sleeve for sun protection (it’s still cool to wear as it’s cotton). I I love the detailing, from the pom-pom hem fringe to the addition of the ladder embroidery feature. And I love the pockets!
The pink, peach, navy and cornflower blue tones of the boho print are something else. You’ll also find this print in a tiered maxi dress; tiered midi dress; in a capped sleeve short dress; a shirt dress; and a waisted cotton dress.
I’ve worn the dress back with the new low heel from FRANKiE4 Footwear, KYRA. Even the smallest heel comes with dress up power. I’d also wear this with wedges. For super casual, I’d pop on slides.
These pieces were gifted to me for editorial consideration. Full disclosure policy here.
The Ultimate Capsule Wardrobe spring-summer 2018
A capsule wardrobe is all about filling your wardrobe with MORE pieces that mix and match with each other. It’s about having MORE pieces that are versatile – that can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.
It’s not about having a full-to-overflowing wardrobe, it’s about consciously and mindfully filling your wardrobe with pieces that work with each other. Get this idea of less is more and you’ll always have something to wear.
Mindfully creating a seasonal wardrobe is something we talk a lot about in my Ultimate Capsule Wardrobe online style program. Registrations for the next round close Sunday, October 21.
