Given how much I’ve been banging on about my spring wardrobe, it’s probably little surprise that I’ve been keeping a very close eye on the weather in Sydney to consistently hit the mid-twenties. I’ve made some headway on my seasonal wishlist, while also keeping my eye on some fresh new wardrobe staples – classic styles mostly in black and white, which I see myself wearing for years to come. This linen ruffle dress from Portmans falls into the latter category, and honestly, was something I didn’t know I needed.

My motto is all about easy dressing; for me, I want looking effortless to actually be effortless. Especially as most mornings I’ll usually throw something on and not even take a glance at the final outfit before leaving the house for the day. I love that I can throw this dress on and it’s a total outfit – it can be dressed down like I’ve worn it above with some simple sandals and a netted bag, or you could team it with some strappy sandals (like these) and a small structured bag, and you’d be all set for an evening out.
