Camilla with love or Kaftans with Chain Mail . . .

I am absolutely in love, again, with Kaftans!!  I just cannot get enough of them!!  My Kaftan passion has to be Camilla - those Kaftans are to die for but I may have to sell my soul to be able to afford them (ok slight exaggeration, but I do need to be able to pay rent from time to time).

Camilla Kaftans

So some months back (before it was summer and Kaftans were not quite my new, but old obsession) I was in Subiaco with The Shep and I went into a little Boutique I had not ventured into before (sadly, I cannot remember the name and the lovely little shop has since shut down - grrr Subi and your high rents)and there in all it's glory was this amazing orange tribal print kaftan and she was in the sale too.  I just had to buy her.  Since then she has been cooped up in my wardrobe waiting for her moment to shine.  She found it, New Years Eve - perfect!

I teamed her with some killer black and gold heels from Zara, a beaded tribal bracelet from H&M  and finished off with an ear cuff sent from heaven (ok maybe not heaven, actually Colette).

Colette Ear Cuff $8.95

This lovely Kaftan of mine, I feel screams Camilla but at a fraction of the price.

With this Camilla orange beauty in mind I thought I would camilla-fy  my Kaftan.  Camilla loves beaded detail a lot of time in gold.  There really is no need for a necklace with a Camilla Kaftan (so really I would be saving money as I would not need to buy a necklace to go with it . . . nope still need to pay rent) so I decided what about a bit of Chain Mail (acceptable in a Necklace, not so much in a tops - I hope I never eat these words) and that is really all you need.

The lovely orange Camilla-fied Kaftan with a Chain Mail necklace from the Hello Parry Bloggers Sale ($2 bargain) and a fab pair of vintage sunglasses with earrings built in from Beleza Vintage in Perth.  

All this has taught me that I will still continue to constantly stalk Camilla Kaftans and maybe pin way too many on my Pinterest, but I think I found an alternative that works.
