The Model and Me: Surafina

I’ll tell you something for nothing … there was a lot of perspiring happening this past weekend.

It was more than a small shock after five days in Tasmania where I even got to wear jeans and a cardi.

The week before we spent at the beach in NSW. It may have been hot but the humidity had nothing on what Queensland dishes up as a back-to-school special offer.

So as I re-acclimatise and brace myself for the final week of school holidays, my wardrobe thoughts are very much in the lightweight basket.

Frocks I can pop on easily and step out the door with a minimum of fuss or fear of sticking to me are my go-to pieces.

Today’s featured frock from Brisbane-based independent online retailer, Surafina, definitely fits this category.

Surafina is label that embraces effortless style with pieces you can dress up or dress down to take you to pretty much any occasion.

Here’s a look at the Surafina Malibu dress on the model.

I’m a big fan of the print of this dress. I don’t do a lot of busy prints but this one works for me because of the balance of light colours with the dark. Dark pink and navy are also colours that work with my hair and skin tone.

As you can see from the model images, this dress can be worn whichever way suits you best. Love to show your waist? Tie it there. Prefer a hip tie? Shift it down a little. No tie at all? Go for it.

The cotton fabric is so cool and comfortable to wear. The length is just right for me – hitting just at the top of the knee – and it’s also a style I could wear with wedges or heels for a lunch out.

This print is also available in a maxi dress and a kimono.

So tell me, did you swelter or freeze over the weekend? Love an effortless frock?
