Foggy view of the Castle.
The fog lifted quickly. There was frost on the ground.Some people can't handle wearing bold colours like this.
But I have zero issues with brights - this is Colour Therapy for me. My wonderful 100% wool cobalt blue 80s cardigan has been a favourite in my closet since 2018.
Pockets! It's such a deep blue - my eyes just eat it up.

The moths have never gotten to it.
Shhh...mustn't curse it.
This lime green dress is so fun - I like how twisty it is.
It looks atrocious when not belted - it has all kinds of odd folds and drapes. Big hat!
The stuff:
These shoes LOOK high, but they are actually fine for walking around the office.
As I walked home, I looked down on the lime green peeking out from under the blue...with that bright pink? Such a soothing bunch of brights.
Accoutrements:
I buried my face in the fur scarf on the way home. Brr!

No Mom-Day tomorrow, my friends, as I have to prep my Limbo pile for the closet sale this weekend. I'll be back on Sunday with tales of adventure, so please do stop by! Thanks so much for visiting and reading - I so appreciate it.
Fabulous colour combination! Lise
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Lise!

ReplyDeleteAh, the truth is out, Vizzini dictates and you type. ;-)
Oh wow, the cat house is a great idea and somebody both loves and trusts their cat to provide such a cozy outdoor abode. I enjoyed tagging along on your walk.. :-)
Here's to prepping the Limbo pile for the closet sale. Whenever you do that I have vicarious thoughts of hopping on a plane just to peruse the sale!!!!
Hi Helen, since we won't 'see' you tomorrow!
Cheers, Laurie
I love how searingly bright this was!

Isn't that the sweetest thing? It had its own set of blinking lights too.
I might take a video of everything, just so you can have a look.
Mom will appreciate that, thank you! <3
