Obviously, my outfit was inspired by Joan.

Dress, Handmade by Julie’s mum! – an absolute oeuvre. When I was little, my mother would slap dresses together in a matter of hours, and I thought it was No Big Deal. So, when I asked J if his mom would be willing to make me a quick frock, I was expecting a one-afternoon deal. Goodness, no. She pre-sews, and measures twice, and hand-sewed the hems! They’re invisible – it’s amazing.

Shoes, Birthday present from Julie
Necklace & Brooch, Trove
Fishnets, Victoria’s Secret
Clutch, thrifted

I was thrilled with how my hair came out – there’s an actual bump! It was SO hard to undo. I did it all myself, very proud. I definitely have to tease my hair more often, the volume it’s capable of achieving is pretty great!
