I enjoyed the weird colour combination in today's outfit.
I don't think I would do orange and mustard together if it weren't for this skirt.

I paired it with my sparkly disco sweater.
"And a black kitty!"
The best accessory of all!
I woke up with a sore hip, so needed ultra-comfortable shoes.
Incognito.
Spring is coming! It was slightly warmer and we had beautiful blue skies.
The stuff:
These pieces all make me feel happy.
I adore these boots - I need to wear them more.

The kittens were up to mischief on the weekend. and there was much galloping about.
Play nice!
From the floor, they bounded to the top of the scratching post.
Don't worry, ten minutes later, they were snuggled up together!
A tantalizing tail for chasing.
Leading to some wrestling.
From the floor, they bounded to the top of the scratching post.
Barnabas is not surrendering the top. He looks very fearsome!
Whateley's left is a blur!
My friends, I'll be back on Wednesday with a Two-Fer, as L and I have a show to go to tomorrow. Stay chill!
The power of a good print - those colours do look fab together.
ReplyDeleteI once heard it said that 'the best toy for a kitten is another kitten', and your two certainly prove that.
The overall look reminds me of my favourite bird the Northern Flicker. They’re gorgeous birds, so definitely intended as a compliment.
ReplyDelete- Goody
Yay for light-weight pleats. Coupled with the colors the skirt makes me think equally of spring or fall. I especially like your necklace, both cuffs and your earrings!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the front row seat to 'kitty opera' courtesy Barnabas and Whateley productions. ;-) As this is being typed on Tuesday, enjoy the show tonight! Looking forward to hearing about it tomorrow. :-)
Cheers, Laurie
Just a thought, you could be off mustard because of your hair colour. When my hair is a cool toned silver I dislike mustard items yet when I colour with a temporary warmer shade I like it again.
ReplyDeleteA good thought, Lise, but I've had purple hair off and on for close to a decade. Brighter, more saturated colours are appealing to me more. I usually don't factor in my hair when I make outfits or buy clothes.
DeleteI like the blazer so I'm sorry this is goodbye to it! The outfit is a really nice combination. I like the patterned skirt and boots contrasted with the black.
ReplyDeleteOh the kitties are such fun!
That outfit works fabulously because of the necklace, which just ties it all together!
ReplyDeleteNow that you mention its impending absence, I looked critically at the outfit, and decided that I actually like it better without the mustard jacket (even though I still love the color).
ReplyDeleteThe jacket seemed to give the look a weighty pull downward, making the outfit seem slouchily exhausted. Without the jacket, you exude Wonder Woman, ready to take on anything and come out on top! ReaderRita
Plus, all mustards are not equal. Perhaps a more zingy one may still be to your liking! RR
DeleteSo fab colour combo, that skirt is so beautiful and I love how you styled it!, particularly fabulous boots and magnificent bijouterie!. That jacket is a lovely piece, but not so lovely if you don't feel anymore 'muted' mustard. I'm also gravitating towards brighter colours, which I feel more vitaminic!
ReplyDeleteI have a weakness for that skirt&boots combo!. And kitties!
