FANCY PANTS [FLOATY DRESSES]


Is it just me, or are you embracing the last days of summer like a crazy person?

Okay, it's just me (and I'm okay with that... really). And even though I know Perth and Sydney have had a hot, hot summer, I'm feeling slightly ripped off by the lack of warm weather here in Melbourne. And there's only two days left of summer. So that means that's it, right?

So, I'm wearing all my summer dresses and making the most of their feminine prettiness.

Even if I'm a bit chilly.


Bargains worth mentioning: these bird earrings for $4 and they're just so cute! The bird's eye is a little diamante.


And this necklace was just $5.

Have you  noticed I have a thing for specials? I'm not big on expensive jewellery, but more a love for costume jewellery (so it doesn't matter if the lads rip it off my neck). There's not real loss. But if I really can't live without it, I have a few jewellery tools to fix things.


And finally, these thongs. How cute is this flower? (Apologies for the sloppy nail polish. I'll be tidying it up right after I post this...)


I really do love this dress, although I've hardly worn it this summer. It can be dressed up, or worn to the beach. I bought it in a little Chinese clothing shop a year ago. And it really didn't cost me very much either (just the way I like it). 

Are you like me and wearing all your summer gear before you have to put them away for another year? Whatever you're wearing, I look forward to seeing what you've worn this week.

Remember, all you have to do is follow this blog, and link up below. Of course, you are more than welcome to add the lovely button below to your post too and visit other Fancy Pants wearers! Share the love, I say.

  1. You look stunning Kimmy! Love the ear rings and the dress. I'm so with you - we're up in Ballarat and I just feel like we've had a really long spring - summers over before it began!!

  2. Caz, I confess I'm finding it hard not to be bitter. I'm grateful we haven't been inundated with earthquakes or floods, but still just upset about minimal warm weather...

  6. Not so much me, but my girls have a stash of summer dresses that really need to be worn. They are going to creche at the moment in things I got for 'good' because I cant bear to see them looking so new and about to be grown out of.

  8. If we'd had any summer to speak of I might be trying to enjoy the end of it lol. I was just thinking yesterday that, honestly, we haven't been to the beach all summer & it's nearly over! Boo!

  9. You're looking great!

    I'm grateful we aren't experiencing Perth's oppressive heat but I wouldn't mind a few extra degrees so I too can wear my summer stuff for a little longer.

  22. The thing with living this end of the world...is it feels like summer for longer. Right now I am Sweltering (and yes, Sweltering with a capital S...it's a tad hot). I have been wearing the summer dresses - i've actually bought a few after never really having owned any.

    Meanwhile, gorgeous dress you are wearing!!!!! And if you want more summer, fly up to northern NSW. Plenty here to share!
