Ornate
May 11th 2008 00:53
Wonder of wonders, David Jones actually impressed me on Thursday night. They were the ones who had the most ornate styles of clothing, with the SARA brand standing out.
I classify ornate styling as velvets, silks, jewels, taffetas, embellishments, metallic threads, brocade and suedes. Anything that looks a little 'richer' and heavier in fabric. Just some small examples of what's on offer in the SARA brand - there was a cropped light gold jacket with a metalic gold thread running through it, a charcoal grey metallic t-shirt, a shift dress with heavy black jewels around the neckline, a coat in the light gold with metallic thread running through it
a sparkle cropped jacket
a crushed tunic
and a tie front three quarter sleeved burnout jacket.
Another place that managed to impress me was Autograph. They have some lovely shirts in jewel colours with the metallic thread running through it. Very nice, soft and luxurious.
The last place that caught my eye was, of course, the old faithful - Myer. Plenty of sumptious looking fabrics there. The main brands were Estelle and Basque Woman, but that newish brand, Dossier had some nice aubergine coloured ruffly shirts in a taffeta-esque material. There was also shift shouldered shirts in various colours, with again, a metallic, shimmery thread running through it in the Jane Lamerton brand. In particular, the cream and the berry coloured tops that I will totally have to purchase.

No More Mumus
I'm usually more of a skirt person than a pants person, but I still really like the ones I have and they usually are the best (for me) to go with a more 'out there' top.
