Pink and Purple Colour-Blocking

I knew this would be a rough morning - all those weekend shenanigans caught up with me - so I deliberately chose soft, cocooning clothes. 
Bright colours to wake me up.

  • "Popcorn" top - Zara, consignment; last worn here (2nd outfit) in December 2025 for an emergency kitten kibble run
  • Thin cotton sweater - Sonia Rykiel, vintage 90s, thrifted; last seen here in June for a Mom-Day in leopard
  • Knit skirt - St. John, thrifted; last worn here in March with an Iggy Pop tee (and these same boots)
  • Boots - Doc Martens, thrifted; last seen here in the same outfit in March
  • Sleeveless coat (below) - Only, thrifted; last worn here in October

The purple "popcorn" textured top is very stretchy, very light and very warm! I have a thin black sweater - layers upon layers. 
The pink skirt is 70% wool, around 15 years old. I layered a half-slip under it. 

Because...I had my arms out! 
It rained on the way home, so I quickly whipped my scarf into the Movie Star Wrap.

No picture, just imagine it. 
I love the two bold colours just hanging out side-by-side. Colour blocks! 

The stuff: 
After all the walking yesterday, my knees were tired. Easy shoes were required. 

  • Silk scarf - vintage 80s, thrifted
  • Velour gloves - Thinsulate, thrifted
  • Brooch - Sarah Coventry, vintage 70s, vintage fair

Bold bling: 
The mixed stone bracelet makes me happy. I love all the different stones, gems and pearls. 

  • Pewter necklace - Robert Larin, thrifted, Sidney
  • Multi-stone/silver bracelet - Salt Spring Island, c. 1997, gift from L 
  • Lucite/silver hinged bracelet - Alexis Bittar, consignment, Vancouver
  • Square ring - thrifted
  • "Volcano" ring - vintage 70s, Mom's
  • Silver earrings - Israeli, consignment

I'll be back on Wednesday!

  1. I love the scarf and the boots tying the whole outfit together! It looks comfortable, too.
