Fresh from yesterday's wham-a-lama colour combo of orange and blue, here's another favourite combination of mine.
My new-to-me blouse is being worn without the knot at the hip done up. I kind of liked the asymmetrical vibe of that piece hanging down. Well, truth be told, I had tried tucking it in and then putting the magenta obi at my waist, but it refused to play nice with the top of the skirt, high-waisted or not. I hate when my clothes won't play nice.
The skirt is one I've had for a few years, going back to March 2011 (here), when I thrifted it for $7.00.
Outerwear:
The stuff:
Big blue (and yellow) bling:
Blouse (Hale Bob, thrifted), skirt (Cabri, thrifted), obi belt (thrifted), shoes (Ralph Lauren, thrifted), cuff (thrifted), earrings (Oscar & Libby's), Fulvia Ring and lapis lazuli ring (Wendy Brandes), coat (I.N. Studio).
I'm all about the Secondhand First (hola to you readers coming over from Bella's Shoe Shine!), as y'all know. Here's our new-to-us second-hand blue couch.
It was custom-built and is a gorgeous rich deep blue microsuede. It's all wrinkly because L, me and the Vizzini-monster were all checking it out. It will be good for TV watching (it's "my" couch) and for having friends over for games and parties. 
Great new couch - ours is from a second hand shop also, and we really love it (as do the kitties). Also - fabulous colors on your own self today, with a wow! coat.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colors in your outfit, and I love that coat!
ReplyDeleteI love the new couch!
ReplyDeleteWhoa, that coat, 14.50, that's some mighty professional shopping there. But the whole outfit is gorgeous. And the blue couch is great, especially that it's all yours.
ReplyDeleteI love that blouse and the asymmetrical styling. Fuchsia and aqua are such a flashback to the eighties! That coat is so stylish too! My couch is second hand too. Actually most of my furniture is as it's either a hand me down from my parents or it's bought second hand. I would like to get my couch reupholstered but I'm not sure when that's going to happen. The blue of yours is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOh love the blue sofa! :D Great buy! :)
ReplyDeleteRealy like the cheerful colours in your outfit today too - the asymmetrical top works really well with the pencil skirt :)
I ♥ the colors in that blouse--AND all the orange in the previous post!
ReplyDeleteOh, that coat!! Amazing!!
ReplyDeleteI just love these colours on you! I have been reading your blog for quite a while now and I am so impressed by your creativity with your outfits, as well as by the sheer volume of your wardrobe... Seriously, where do you store all those clothes???? I always feel my closets are bursting at the seams, and I have closet space in two countries! Of course, I have nowhere near as many clothes as you. So, what's your secret to storing such a huge wardrobe?
ReplyDeleteThe skirt and blouse are a wonderful combination; loving the sofa too! xxx
ReplyDeleteThe new couch is awesome! What a great shade of blue!
ReplyDeleteI love that couch so much!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh that asymmetrical top is great and reminds me of the Zara one you gave me :)
ReplyDeleteThe blouse is even more fabulous on you!!! I love it with the aqua!!
ReplyDeleteI'll bet Vizzini looks fabulous against that gorgeous blue of the sofa!!!
Oooo! Excellent couch! Our neighbors got rid of the coolest bxw striped couch a few weeks ago. I was so sad that I didn't have anywhere to put it.
ReplyDeleteHigh five for secondhand (or thirdhand) couches! The coat looks like it's printed from the holodeck. :D
