You guys are the best - thank you for your empathetic responses to yesterday's "mojo-less" post! I am still feeling "meh" but I faked it better today. Helps when I wear one of my power colours (or Power Colours, to emphasize their importance to me).
- Blouse - Michael Kors, thrifted; purchased here for $16.95
- Skirt - no label, handmade, thrifted; last seen here (2nd outfit) in June with a cheonsam top
- Shoes - Big Presence Desmond, Fluevog; last worn here in May with fucshia and copper leather
First wearing of this blouse and it is very slippy and slidey! I couldn't tuck it into my nylons (one of my usual tricks) due to the waistband of the skirt being low, so I was tucking it back in constantly. The sleeves also wanted to unroll very badly. However, overall I really liked it.
The stuff:
Copper bling:
Most of my copper collection is packed away for fall/winter - these bracelets have both been purchased recently.- Cuff - Renoir, vintage 60s, consignment; purchased here for $12.00
- Bracelet - Renoir, vintage 60s, thrifted; purchased here for $4.00
Do you have Power Colours? What effect do they have on you?
I love this combo. Don't think I've seen the shoes before but they are awesome.
ReplyDeleteThe shoes are a half-size too small so I don't wear them as much - however, I still love them. Thanks, Sandy!
DeleteI've just had a lovely catch up. Those glorious copper shoes!
ReplyDeleteMy Power Colours...hmmm...anything strong. Red, blue, black, white, turquoise as long as the shape fits well. But I think actually the shape, fabric and fit are more power giving than the colour, surprisingly. Hmmm :-) xo Jazzy Jack
Thank you so much for catching up/reading, Jazzy Jack! Yup, same, but brighter colours lend themselves more to Power than darker colours. You're right, the shape, fit and fabric are key. Colour alone won't cut it!
DeleteI love red!!!! Great shiny shoes!! I think we all can relate to having some mojo-less days :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, hon!
DeleteDefinitely red has power. Good choice. I saw a recent fashion photo where the model had her pantyhose sticking up above her low-slung skirt. Uhhh, I don't think we want to copy that look. Or who knows? If you do it, I will. Hahaha! I have power colours and patterns - anything bold that makes me feel good. I know I'm on the road to wellness when I reach for them.
ReplyDeleteOh, lordy, that's a "thing" now?? Wow, I could've been doing that for years! Like I would - it's like the bra-straps-showing thing. I just don't think I want to go there. Yes, bold is good - it's cream and cerulean today, very toned down for me.
DeleteI think my power colour must be orange as I started to like it and buy it in the last year!
ReplyDeleteI like this outfit; it's very smart and red is such an uplifting colour. The skirt is lovely with those bands of ribbon at the hemline.
I also loved your 'sick' pants yesterday; I thought the outfit was fabulous. I'm sorry it didn't lift you, but clearly today is a better day - thank goodness!
Hope the rest of the week goes well for you.

Power colours can definitely change over time. Yellow has been good to me, as has orange, but I keep circling back to red. Thank you so much for your kind compliments, Veronica! This week shall pass...
DeleteI'd say blue is my power colour, or pink! Whenever I'm run diwn or struggling I always reach for blue more. I have some bright pink pieces that make me smile and boost my mood, but blue is my go to for comfort to help me feel a little better.
ReplyDeleteI like the combination of skirt and shirt together, it's a shame the shirt was a little annoying to wear.
And yet, you're "Away from Blue" (hee, I know you mean blue jeans). Isn't it amazing how colour can enhance our moods?
DeleteThe shirt will be fine, it's just getting used to its peculiarities.
Jewelery and matching shoes ?!?! Oh wow you never cease to surprise us. I just read Ally's interview of you and LOVED it. We are so much more alike than I thought :)
ReplyDeleteHa, you know it! I love the matchy stuff! Aw, thank you, sweetie!
DeleteGlad to hear that you're back on the up! I love a classy look like this too when I need a bit of support. And the addition of those copper shoes just lifts the outfit out of the ordinary: they're divine.

I'm getting there. I should wear the copper shoes more, really. Thank you!
