Granite-print dress: Cylk
Grey snakeskin belt: Vintage
Basket weave geometric wedges: Kobe Husk
Gold armour cuff: ASOS
Black bag: Tilkah
Necklace: House of Harlow
Nail colour: Sportsgirl
Aussie label Cylk makes eco-friendly knitwear with a focus on luxury basics made out of super fine bamboo, silk, cashmere, linen and modal. Their collection is the type of thing you'd want to bury your face in and maybe sneeze into because even kleenex doesn't feel as great. Not that I'm recommending everyone to buy quality knitwear and silk pieces to use as handkerchiefs..unless you're rolling in it and that's your thang. The marble print on this dress is somewhere between subtle tie-dye and a stormy sky. Seriously phenomonal. Don't get me started on the Kobe Husk wedges. The traingles and basket weave makes me feel like I'm doing an arts 'n' craft class at school. Nothing better than the smell of DIY glue paste (and I mean this in the most non-illicit manner possible. I was 5. C'mon.)
I haven't had the greatest past couple of weeks. I lost my weekly train ticket last week, accidentally left my new one with my boss, broke a 50mm, got fined $200 for not having my student I.D. on the train after 12 hours of work and I have accumulated more mysterious cuts and bruises than I usually collect during the week (#firstworldproblems).
The $200 fine makes me cringe in a mix of fury and sadness everytime I think about it. I asked how long I have to appeal the fine, and the conversation went something like this:
Small, upset, meek Jess on the verge of tears: How long do I get to appeal it?
Big and burly transit officer representing ~The System~, towering over Jess: 21 days.
Jess: But...I'm on uni holidays and I don't know if the office for student I.D.s are open until February...
Transit Officer: There are no buts.
Sometimes I really wish I had my license.

Oh no! I hope that your next few weeks get better (and that you are able to appeal. Boo transit officer.) Love the way that dress looks on you and the pattern in the wedges is really interesting.
This is an absolutely stunning outfit, those wedges are GORGEOUS ! *u*

The same thing happened to me and the girl said that I could appeal it. I think you can do it on the net and just prove that you go to uni, I don't think you have to get a new card.
I thank my lucky stars that the next words out of the girls mouth were 'fortunately we're only giving out warnings today because we're collecting figures of how many people don't get tickets...' ME: "THANK YOU, THANK YOU I LOVE YOU! NO, NO, I LOVE YOU!"
Don't pay that Jess! You can appeal it for sure!

So sorry about your past few weeks, those little annoyances (not the $200) can really wear someone down. But you look amazing, I'm in love with those wedges!!
Hope something ridiculously spectacular happens soon, babe! ♥♥♥♥♥
wow 200 is ridiculous for not having a student ID. i got fined 100 for apparently parking at where i'm not supposed to, which is like almost the whole campus adjksafja. i feel your pain.
anyway, your dress is amazing. the marble-ish pattern is super pretty
Beauuuutiful dress, and your cuff is amazing! xxx
awww, your rendition of what happened to you in the bus seems so sad!! :( haha, really sucks that you've had a few bad weeks but you'll get through them :) At least you look amazing, and you have amazing weather!!! I'm jealous.

as i was looking at your blog post i found myself muttering to myself "her hair is pretty much the greatest thing to happen to life" creeper status, i know. i was surprised myself as soon as the words came out of my mouth.
you look incredible Jess! I love the Kobe Husk wedges - arty crafty yes indeed - they're phenomenal!

Love that cuff & dress. Plus the House of Harlow necklace... I wear mine all the time! :)
You can write a letter to the office saying it was a first time offense and that you only purchased the ticket because you are infect a student. I've done it before and they are usually pretty understanding, the officer was most likely just a Gaylord.
