At least two people today asked me where my colour was. People! Cream is a colour.

Also, see this cardigan? Aqua. Yes, it's true.

I took great delight in the fact that this entire outfit, including shoes cost $27.10. The shoes were thrifted for $10.00 last year, and the skirt was on the clearance rack at My Sister's Closet last year for $11.50 (for a skirt by
that Chloe, gettouttatown). Crazy! I think my ring cost more than that.

I wasn't hugely pleased with how all the elements of this outfit worked and played together, even thought all the colours worked. The skirt needs a slimmer top half, and the beaded top was mostly covered by the cardi. The cardi was good - good colour - but I like it better buttoned or partially buttoned. I'd give a C+ for effort.
The stuff:
The shoes are back for spring/summer. I do love the mod look of them. I liked them with the skirt, but not with the overall vibe.
Super bling:
Shiny! Shiny!
- Bracelet - Coro, vintage 60s, Mom's
- Ring - Stone Roses
- Earrings - Jacob
I actually wore my crystal ring with the Uffizi Gallery as well, but forgot to take it off. It's been a long day, and now I'm off to make dinner. Burritos!
Oh yum now I want burritos for dinner, haha! Shouldn't have read that while I was hungry ;)
ReplyDeleteI like that bright cardi with the cream pieces - like you said it's a lovely colour combination, even if you didn't like how the other elements of the outfit played together.
I was thrifting today and didn't see any cute cardis - I guess I have to wait until we hit the end of winter to get things like that donated, ha! I did buy some very cute and colourful tops though, as I need more plain colours in my wardrobe.
We people have a tendency to get used to a certain way, don't we? I'm glad that you shake things up from time to time - for yourself and others. Cream and aqua look fresh together. I too like to mix quiet colors with brighter ones. :)
ReplyDeleteMmmm burritos. And I am eating breakfast right now. Love this subtle look and the gorgeous jewelry. See you at Vis Mon, xox.
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit, Shelia. You look great in it!
ReplyDeleteI like it ! and there is colour !
ReplyDeleteTotal fan of that great top.
Is 90's already vintage? OMG!
Well, your colleagues (like you blog readers) have come to expect strong colour combinations from you, Sheila, so I guess cream seems a little low-key/ neutral! Even if you aren't thrilled with this outfit, I'm quite sure you'll rework each piece until it finds a more fitting partner - it's what you do so well! xxx
