Colourful Monday

I like to rotate through my new stuff once it's been a month or so - put together another outfit, trying to pull out the potential. I first wore this skirt here (aw...the day we said goodbye to Othello). I love purple and yellow together, so played that up again today:
I left the side uncropped because Inigo's being cute.

The stuff:
I haven't worn these shoes in ages (yup, it's been a year). I put my sparkly barrette on the yellow scarf, since barrettes never stay in my hair (it's too fine). I feel so kooky when I wear a scarf in my hair for work.

A close-up:
The shiny rhinestone belt I also never wear.

Blouse (Esprit), skirt (Vivienne Tam, consignment), shoes (Jessica Simpson), scarf (thrifted), barrette (Club Monaco), belt (The Bay).

    Looking fabulous~ I love how you've worn the skirt here much better than the first time. So many awesome details going on in this one. The print of the skirt is just gorgeous~

    Oh, I LOVE the colors in this! What's nice is that the yellow is integral to the outfit, but it's downplayed as bits of accessories instead of a shirt. That's a clever twist!

    Love this outfit. I'm so into that magenta colour plus your fabulous yellow and silver accessories.

    Finally, thanks for leaving your ever so cute cat in the shot. (and he wasn't in front of your shoes!)

    Awesome outfit. Purple and yellow are a beautiful combination. And the ruffles in your top add a punch of pizzazz.
