Aussie Curves - Double Take



I was eagerly awaiting this week's theme because I had the perfect 'double take' in mind. Anyone on the Aussie Curves Facebook page will recall my excitement at finding a great bodycon dress at Supre. I have already worn the dress with a Kaftan in the last Aussie Curves challenge. However the dress had so much more potential, so I decided to show how I plan in making the most out of a simple, black bodycon.

In fact, this is more than a double take, Six - take!

Dress - Supre




My excitement in finding the body con was that I knew I had several tops that I wear in limited ways because It didn't always look good with other items. I knew I was going to be able to extend the wearability of items in my wardrobe with this one item. On it's own? This one is not really wearable. It is too thin and clingy, but worn as a base for other wearable pieces? Perfect!




Top - Moda (Target)
Shoes - Target
Necklace - Millers


Peplum - City Chic
Necklace - Lovisa

Kaftan - Virtu
Belt - Kmart
Tunic - Belle Chemise


Skirt - Autograph
Jacket - Crossroads

Maxi - Millers

So how is that for one versatile dress? This id definately a wardrobe staple, so go hunting for a great body con black dress and start experimenting!

  1. I freaking LOOOOOVE this entry! I love how you've used the body con dress the same way you would with leggings (to give some length on some too short tops and dresses). I am TOTALLY going to steal this idea with a jersey pencil skirt I have. You look SO good! #gushing
