Colour Bomber

Brrr! It's cold outside! I walk to work in the dark, and I walk home in the dark. I am sick of all this dark.

This is what my camera interprets as "auto-correct" for lighting. Neon!

How about a colour? How about ALL the colour?

• Jacket - Vero Moda in Blue, thrifted; purchased here last week for $19.99
• Blouse - Cleo, thrifted; last worn here in November 2015 with bigass shoulders
• Skirt - Precis Petite, thrifted; last seen here in August 2015 walking a mile in men's shoes
• Shoes - Big Presence Desmond, Fluevog; last worn here in November 2015 with more colours

I haven't owned a bomber jacket in...wow, probably close to 35 years. I used to have a puffy cream one with brown cuffs/hem when I was in junior high (grade 8-10 back in the late 70s/early 80s). I thought I was "da bomb" in it, even before that was a phrase.

The pattern on this jacket caught my eye, and I really loved wearing it today. It was soft, light and just the right amount of warmth for someone flashing hot periodically throughout the day (yeah, that would be me - yay, hot flashes). Also, pockets!

I'm not sure that this skirt will last in my closet. I hung it up, then took it off the hanger, folded it, then hung it up again. I can't keep everything!

But it is really nice to wear, a lovely length and has some serious walking appeal (aka makes my butt look good). And it's raspberry pink.

The stuff:

I had to wear orange shoes to match the orange piping along the zipper of the jacket.

Big ol' bling:

My coworker Simar gave me these pink acrylic earrings. I needed these!

I'm linking you to my earring twin, Ms. Melanie over in Vancouver, who is also having a large earring style inspiration. Bigass earrings for bigass personalities, eh, Mel?
