80s Colour-a-Rama

This is a lot of colour!

I'd like to point out that my neighbour's bike collection (my usual background here) is now gone! Woo!

Yeah, I had to wear a bunch of my new-to-me things from this weekend (here): the purple leather skirt, the Bruno Magli shoes, the lovely silk scarf. And look how nice they are all playing together!

The skirt was awesome to wear, although the slit at the back is not very high, so I can't take very big steps.

The brown sweater is a Banana Republic one, last seen way way back in the February 2012 capsule (recap here), where I wore it 3 times (last time here). I bought it back in late 2009 and wore it first here in January 2010 - I thrifted it for only $12.00 - sweet!

The stuff:

The shoes felt weird at first. They built them differently in the 80s - there is less cushioning, but the construction is better. Maybe all the cushioning they put in shoes now is actually covering poorer construction? I don't know - but these were made in Italy, and they felt gorgeous and I have not a smidge of foot pain.

Red bling:

But the scarf was the piece that really tied it all together. Who knew you could mix violet, cobalt blue, brown and red together?
