Mostly Matching Magenta

Well, after a day when you don't like most of your outfit, it's always good to bounce back by wearing things you DO love. 

Pink/purple and yellow is one of my favourite colour combinations, ever!

• Jacket - Jacob, thrifted; purchased here for $10.00
• Sleeveless sweater - Gap, consignment; last seen here in September 2016 with lavender and dots
• Skirt - Vivienne Tam, consignment; last worn here in July 2016 as a glamourous 80s secretary
• Shoes - Coclico; last seen here in February when I had the plague (and wore stripes)
• Jacket (below) - Lord & Taylor, thrifted; last worn here earlier this month after a day of swapping out my closet

I built this outfit around this sweet chartreuse jacket that I scored for $10 at the Patch a couple of weeks ago. Of course, I went with this gorgeous chrysanthemum skirt. 

I've had the skirt going on six years - it's one of those pieces that always makes the cut. Yellow jackets come and go (I have 3 of them); magenta flowered skirts stay.

Jacket done up.

I ended up rolling the cuffs a couple of times and shoving the sleeves up.

I would wallpaper an entire room in that skirt fabric.

Okay, maybe that's a little much. But look how perfect it goes with the magenta heels!

Outerwear, because that thin jacket was not enough this morning.

I can see myself wearing this jacket for many years.

The stuff:

The afternoon light is messing with the colours. Those shoes really do match the earrings - they aren't purple! My feet are a little sore after wearing two pairs of rather high heels two days in a row. Expect something more comfy tomorrow.

Magenta bling:

My ears are a little tired from wearing those ginormous earrings, but fashion calls, darlings!

Speaking of fashion, check me out, circa 1969, when I'm around two years old.

Fancy barrettes in my hair, a little frilly dress, and I haven't yet learned what to do with my hands, heh heh.
