I love a great designer collaboration, so I was so excited to hear that designer Kym Ellery was teaming up with Witchery to create a capsule collection. The results are nothing less than ultra wearable — as soon as I saw the entire range I wanted everything! The vibe is very Ellery, and having been a fan of the brand over the years, it’s definitely great to see new pieces with the label’s signature modern and sleek aesthetic. I really liked the play on volume, with voluminous sleeves, cinched waists and flared hems all making an appearance, plus the hues of soft lilac and a thoroughly electric cobalt blue added some vibrancy.
While there were definitely plenty of pieces in the range that I bookmarked for various occasions, I did fall in love with the below LBD. Shift dresses have always been a key aspect of my wardrobe, I’ve worn them to work, while I was pregnant, to events…but this particular style felt fresh, with just the right amount of drama. The clean lines of the dress evoke a classic feel, but what I loved most were the feature sleeves. It’s always great when a simplicity is injected with a little playfulness and the frill sleeves certainly did just that. The waterfall effect was the final clincher – so much fun, and a definite statement.
Working with black, I had a blank palette to work with and I like being able to take an outfit in myriad directions. I wanted to break up the black a little so I thought a little colour was in order. These forest green heels with tie feature worked well against the dark hue of the dress, and helped inject a little zing of energy.
