Pink, Red, a Skull and the Galaxy

Thank you all for your kind comments and sympathy over my crappy day yesterday - it was sort of better today (although I did spill my coffee all over the floor in the grocery store on the way to work, but I'm not going to dwell). 

So, let's just fake it.

Look, bright colours! Pay no attention to the cranky lady wearing them!

I have been wanting to wear my Smoking Lily pink skull skirt for a while, especially now that we are in bare-legs season again. I wore it three times in the December 2012 capsule (recap here), but because it's not lined, I had "tight-creep" issues (or slip riding-up issues). I am happy to report that it was much better today!

The top is that really stretchy plastic material (I think it's called ponte) that I generally loathe - I prefer natural fibres whenever possible. Thank goodness I thrifted this for only $8.00. I wore it twice in the June 2012 all-neutral capsule (recap here).

I liked the mix of hot pink and red in this outfit (my camisole is red). The shoes are showstoppers!

The stuff:

The shoes are also quite comfortable. I wore them four times in the September 2012 capsule (recap here).

The sparkly bits (I forgot to take off my earrings, but I'm wearing bigass pearl studs):

Getting lots of wear out of my awesome Fulvia ring by Wendy Brandes. It was the first time for the "galaxy" brooch, which I wore pinned just above the wrap tie on my top. I also wore the vaguely spidery ring. Perhaps it represents the Flying Spaghetti Monster?
