Melbourne Cup at the Office

Just like Halloween, the Melbourne Cup is another excellent excuse to get dolled up. I normally take the day off and attend some kind of fancy event, but this year I couldn’t rationalise the leave, so I went to work dressed to the nines instead and entered the office sweeps stake.

I was VERY excited to wear this dress. It wasn’t originally part of my Shop What You Got wardrobe, but I’ve allowed myself 4 wild card items and this beauty is one of them. It’s David Meister and I bought it the other day for $10! It fits like a glove and the colour is just perfect, I was dying to wear it and couldn’t possibly wait until the end of my challenge.

Also pay close attention to my gorgeous shoes, I accidentally won them on eBay. It was an accident I promise! My bid was so low I honestly didn’t expect to win them, so when I got an email a week later telling me to ‘enjoy your new Miu Miu pumps’ I was surprised to say the least! They are perfection though and I’m so happy with them, eBay is seriously awesome sometimes!
