Dressed Lime and Pink

It's a mini-dress week! Another dress, following another round of not really feeling like planning anything complicated.
I hadn't worn this lime green dress yet this season - so why not now? Dresses give me a bit of a break.

  • Dress - Zara, consignment; last worn here in January with cobalt blue
  • Shoes - Half Truth Tanya, Fluevog; last seen here in July with jungle and eyelash

The sleeves were nice, and I like all this draping. 
Of course it doesn't have pockets, and of course, it's thick polyester. 

But that colour! It's very versatile - I've worn it with white and cobalt so far.
It's not a forever piece, but I'm not finished with it yet. 

Incognito.
It was windy again - but sunny! - and this big YSL scarf kept my hair from looking like a bird's nest during my walk to and from work. 

Accoutrements and stuff: 
Colleague Sarah admired my shoes - they're 11 years old and still going strong. 

  • Silk scarf - Yves Saint Laurent, vintage 80s, thrifted
  • Belt - Desigual, thrifted, Sidney

Bold bling: 
I loved the contrast of the magenta with the lime dress.

  • Green sparkly bracelet - vintage 60s, Mom's
  • Glass bangle - thrifted
  • Sparkly cocktail ring - vintage 70s, Mom's
  • Scarab ring - Heidi Daus, vintage mall, gift from L
  • Metal earrings - thrifted

    Love the colour combo Sheila! You're inspired me to mix my colours in this palate. Wish I had iridescent shoes though.........

    Very good colour on you! Which is surprising as not many women can wear this colour. I'll bet it looks stunning with cobalt indeed.

    Vibrant color! I especially like the belt and the vivid pink/magenta earrings, both so colorful. Also appreciate (what was) your Mom's cocktail ring. :-)
    Am off for a bike ride into town with Fred.
    Cheers, Laurie

      Thanks, Laurie! I got that ring off Mom during the pandemic, but I remember her wearing it in the 70s.
      Nice, hope you have good weather!

    Yes to lime and pink! Sometimes, a jammy dress is all that's needed to lift one's mood xxx

    With that dress, the scarf and sunglasses you could step into a convertible car and drive along the coast of the Cote d'Azur. Very 1950 chic.
