One of the conference receptions was held at Government House, a beautiful example of colonial gothic in golden sandstone, high up in the Domain, overlooking the city. We had to pre-register for this in order to receive our gold-embossed invitations; and had to dress up a little; and practice saying "Your Excellency" in case we got introduced.
It was a beautiful afternoon.

The Dress is excellent. I particularly like the way they've used the black trim, especially at the bottom. Top lippy match, too!
