It’s important to me that my clothes are versatile. While I am a serial outfit repeater and will gladly wear the same clothes over and over (because going with what you love is important, right?), I want to be able to change them up for different occasions, different seasons, different moods. Take the Isla-Maree Miracle Dress for example: it has a reversible neckline (so you can wear it either way depending on your mood) and can be styled for almost any weather in a number of ways. Make sure you’re paying attention, because (spoiler alert!) you could win one of your own…
I’m a brunch kind of gal, it’s just who I am. Whether it’s hitting up one of our favourite local spots with my family or exploring new places with my blogger friends, brunch is by far my favourite meal. This dress is perfect for a brunch date, paired with sneakers, luxe sunnies, a classic tote and hair in a messy bun. It’s easy, it’s comfy and you don’t have to think – just change your shoes up depending on the place you’re going. To be honest, this could also double as a chic mum outfit as well!
I know we’re talking about the dress right now, but I just want to take a second to mention this tote. If you follow me on Instagram, you might have seen my Insta Stories last week about going to the Cotton On press day (here’s a sneak peek in case you missed it) – this was one of the pieces they had there and oh my gosh. It feels like it’s made from the softest, butteriest leather but it’s not real leather! It’s so lovely to hold and it’s got the added bonus of having plenty of room for my fat arms to fit through the strap so I can carry it over my shoulder – champion!
A quick change of accessories and I’m ready for cooler weather: add some stockings, ankle boots and a scarf, trade out my sunglasses for my specs and I am sorted. This dress is really nice to wear with stockings and I don’t find that it starts shimmying up my legs as some dresses do when I’m wearing tights. Seriously though, does anyone else have that problem?
When I picked out this dress, I was wary of two things. First of all, it’s free sized – “one size fits most” 22-26. I am very much on the bigger end of that and I’ve almost never had any luck with free sizing because I’ve got big boobs, big tummy and big hips/bum. You know what though? I think this is a bloody great fit! The other thing I was wary of was that apparently this dress is on the long side and I was warned I might need to hem it (fat chance, I am way too bloody lazy for that). Luckily for me, it actually turned out not to be too long at all – that extra length provided ample room for my boobs/tummy/hips/bum and it’s just the right length for me! I think that extra length would be great for my tall babes as well, but if you’re on the short side or you’re on the smaller end of the fit then you might need to tailor it, depending on your preference.

I’m pretty basic so pretty much as is. I have been looking at the white converses as I think that would look pretty awesome. If it got a bit chilly, I have a gorgeous city chic frill back Cardy I’d team it up with.
I’m loving a good pattern clash at the moment so i think I would go for a bright floral or animal print scarf with ankle boots and a leather jacket for when it gets cooler ☺
Red, red, red. I would go the bright red accessories. I have a bright red handbag that would go amazingly along with my chunky red resin bangles and simple red button earrings.
Gorgeous! I would wear it with white chucks,denim jacket and a pair of silver earrings and some silver bangles.
Love this dress – tights, ankle boots and big earrings for the win!!

She would be over the moon if she was lucky enough to win and what it would do to her confidence. Fingers crossed
I would wear it with tights, boots, and a cardy in this lovely autumn weather. Looks so damn comfy that I’m definitely going to have to get me one 🙂
This is so versatile! I think I would make it my own by chucking some tan stockings and tan cowboy boots with it, adding a nice long silver and brown toned pendant with it (maybe a disc). I would curl my hair so it’s wavey adding a flower crown headband in the mix. Denim jacket on hand for the breeze! Glam casual for this blustery winter! I love this!
Denim Jacket! So many choices for footwear, I really love tights too…so boots? Or a more casual look with Chucks! Thanks Meagan, it looks great ❤

To really mix it up I’d wear it as a top by pulling it up and rolling it over – double wear!!

Oh Meagan what a beautiful dress. I’d be wearing this with my black leggings, ankle boots and my luxurious red silk scarf.
I love her dresses I would wear it with tightsome, ankle boots and a cool crop jacket.
This dress looks great and so easy to wear! I’d wear my black flats and chunky black necklace, with my hair in a high bun. I could do the school drop off and go straight to work in this, I’m all about dresses and versatility.
I would wear it with a white denim jacket and converse sneakers. I love the casual (but not too casual) look for weekend brunch or even casual Friday at work. I think stripes look really smart too.
This dress looks both stunning and so so comfy!!!! I would wear my black and grey tights with my grey ankle boots, a chunky necklace piece and jacket for work or my white 3/4 pants, white converse shoes for everyday shopping or to go out and have a coffee with my besties. I so love your page, it inspires me to try different styles!!!!!
I’d simply love this dress.
Usually not a dress wearer as, as an apple shape ‘huggie’ dresses catch in the wrong places. But I feel with the stripes on this I could rock it with leggings or jeans and dress up or down with either a black jacket or woolly wrap depending on the event or weather.
I’d pretend we still have some sun and go bare legged with my fave white chucks and my gorgeous pink bead necklace for a pop of colour!
Such a fabulous dress I would love to win this! I’d style it with a long cardigan, tights and a pair of knee high boots.

Love this dress!!! Because I have a 16 month old to run around after, I’d want something easy. I would style it with tan sandals or white canvas lace ups and a tan bag (Love my Kmart Tan Backpack). Messy Mum bun, fresh face and H & M $14.95 sunnys. If it’s s by cold I’d chuck on some 3/4 length tights
What a versatile dress. I’d team it with my little crop denim jacket, black stockings, my cool little teal coloured ‘super hero’ warehouse chuck wanabees (for that pop) and a matching teal scarf..I’m 48 this year but have the quirky look of an art teacher going on 25…well I think so anyway…hahaha..I’d love it in a size 20, it would end up being a go to piece in my wardrobe.😀
