How's the weather where you are?
You're wearing the colours if your web layout! A very happy look!
ReplyDeleteHa, so I am! Thanks, Ismay!
DeleteI adore your yellows and orange today. That skirt is lovely on you. I know what you mean about the length.... I have almost the replica skirt but with huge painterly roses instead of umbrellas. It can be tricky to style. You've nailed it, lady!
ReplyDeleteI'm smiling at your "pop of black" idea. It's like your clothes sometimes call for a little sobriety!
Sorry your sunny weather didn't hold out. We're enjoying bright sunny days in Ireland at the moment but the nights are still frosty. Down to minus 2!
Thanks so much, Juliana! Bright colours really help me lift my mood. This is such a tricky length - it always needs a bit of a heel or I look super-short. Yes, exactly! Sometimes I want to tone it down a bit!
DeleteAnd...spring! Sun is back! I'm glad you are getting some brighter days, at least!
Seriously in love with the cheerful, sunny, flat out gorgeous colour palette of punchy yellows and coral here. It suits these spring-into-early summer weather days as perfectly as sweet treats like lemonade and fresh peaches.

Thank you so much, Autumn - I love how harmonious these orange/yellow shades are.
DeleteI really like the orange and yellow together! i need to try that! :) That's a beautiful skirt too!
ReplyDeleteGo for it, Mica! It's a lovely combo. Thanks!
DeleteAs your previous commenter pointed out, you match your blog background beautifully, Sheila!
ReplyDeleteThe print on your skirt is fantastic and I love black accessories with colourful outfits, too - they add a certian something and stop things looking too girly, if that makes sense.
Sorry your gorgeous weather has reverted back to cold & gloom, after four days of the same we're set for some lovely weather again, it makes such a difference! xxx
It's like I planned it, Vix (I didn't). Thank you - I do like how black can punk-ify an outfit and keep it from being overly frou-frou. Totally makes sense!
DeleteAh, you know, it's spring: it's totally nice again! The brighter weather feels so much more optimistic!
It seems as if our weather can't make up its mind either. It was really mild for most of last week, but temperatures dropped at the beginning of this week. I was even tempted to go in search of one of my Winter coats! Your cheerful, zingy outfits really makes my heart sing, especially as it includes one of my favourite skirts of yours, the one with the sunflower brollies! I'm loving the cashmere top as well, and of course nothing beats a yellow leather jacket to add some instant cheer. As for your necklace: what an amazing piece! xxx
ReplyDeleteWe should know this by now: it's spring! It does this! I know, I've been looking at my boots and coats every other day!
DeleteAw, thank you so much! These bright colours make me feel cheery too.
Love the cheerful mix of colors! What a great umbrella skirt and cool yellow jacket. Hope your weather warms up soon. It's been warm here, but for some reason all the hummingbirds except for one left. He probably likes having all the juice to himself. Awesome necklace!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cheryene! The weather changes so quickly here! Oh dear, where did those hummingbirds go?
DeleteWhat a fab skirt! Loved the yellow jacket with it, too!

Thanks, Vronni!
DeleteOhh such a lovely and positive feeling outfit💚🧡💛 Regards!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteAwww, sorry to hear your lovely sunshine is in hiding - I sure hope it's temporary (although this is a strange year all round so who knows). Your ensemble today is lovely and so whimsical. That yellow jacket is killer!
ReplyDeleteIt is always temporary, Nana, I just like to whine about it, hee hee. Thank you so much! I adore my yellow jacket.
DeleteFabulous outfit, that jacket is perfect with the skirt!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Nancy! I've gotten SO much wear out of this yellow leather jacket in the past 10 years!
DeleteWhat a fabulous styling and a great colour combo. Yellow is such a positive colour. God knows we need a bit of sunshine in our lives. I just love that white and yellow skirt. Such a pretty and unique pattern- a mix of sunflowers and umbrellas?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ivana! I know, yellow just makes me happy. When I'm feeling down, I know I need to get some yellow out!
DeleteThe pattern is sunflower umbrellas, so umbrellas that look like sunflowers - these do exist, I've seen them!
how lovely!
DeleteLove it. And great styling Sheila. Not only does the black raffia on the necklace echoe the black edges of the brollies, the black of the shoes ties everything together as well. AND... the shape of the necklace and the shape of the umbrellas... clever little minx.
ReplyDeleteNever in a million years would I have come up with the colour of that jumper with this skirt and it is fantastic. Gosh you can teach me a thing or two.
Greetje
Thanks, Greetje! I know, aren't I clever?? Ha ha! I love when the details all come together like that. :)
DeleteI just pulled the orangey shades out of the skirt pattern - nothing more than that!
Nice Spring colours in this outfit, although I was surprised to see you wore black shoes with it, given I know you have orange and yellow ones in your closet. Our weather is all over the place - we had snow last weekend, this week has been chilly with rain but it's supposed to warm up tomorrow, fingers crossed.
ReplyDeleteMy orange and yellow Big Presence Fluevogs got very damaged with colour transfer when they were in storage over the winter. :( I need to try repairing them, but as the finish is wax, it has to be CRAYONS. Yikes. I'm a little nervous about it. I also just gave up on another pair of yellow Fluevogs (the Disco Dutch ones) as they are too high, and also had some colour bleeding. AND my other orange Fluevogs were too chunky and neon with this look. So...black!
DeleteI heard about all that crazy weather! I hope it gets nice for you soon!
I love the umbrella print skirt, and the yellow jacket is fabulous!

Thanks so much, Emma!
DeleteOh you make me want to get dressed. The colors make me happy. Seeing that things are picking up elsewhere keeps me going. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteYellow does that to me - it makes me happy. It's such a magic colour that way.
DeleteIt's been cold here in Melbourne, but today was sunny so I went for a lovely walk. Your yellow jacket looks fantastic, perfect for brightening anyone's day. X
ReplyDeleteI know, I've been following your posts, Jess! Thank you!
Deletewoww, such a fabulous outfit, the sunflower brollies print is a favourite of mine and it looks so perfect with the yellow jacket and the cool accessorizing!.
ReplyDeleteTotally fabulous!

Aw, thank you so much, Monica! I love this print too - it's so cheery.
DeleteI love that outfit! It's like sunshine, instantly cheering.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
