| Red and pink inspiration |
That was until yesterday! I've had the skirt for a long time, the jacket too (you've seen it a few times on the blog lately), but the top is new - and it does it's job very well!
 |
| Finally! |
The red colour isn't my best but with this jacket, or maybe a scarf, I think I can carry it off. The boots are my very old Footprints, by Birkenstock.
 |
| The jacket connects the top and skirt very nicely |
In the zig-zag pattern of the jacket there's a lot of burgundy so I'm now looking for a burgundy top to wear with the skirt - which I think would look great too.
Of course the outfit would be nothing without my ring!

| Currently favorite ring |
Today I dropped all colours and went for an all beige outfit, well except for the boots! Although this beige outfit is neutral, and in theory should be quite discrete, I did cause a stir - again!

| Beige skirt and top, new boots |
The silver boots was today's eye magnet! The silk scarf is a gift from my daughter, and I love it, but it didn't get much attention.
 |
| Not your usual silver boot |
The boots are from Irregular Choice, and I bought them on the spring sale. They're very warm, lined with fur, and loose fitting and comfortable.

This morning I actually got applause from the school canteen staff. Apparently they're waiting every morning to see what I'm wearing - I have an audience! I guess I've established my reputation as an eccentric dresser once and for all!
Imagine what I'll be like at 70 and 80!
Love the clash of pink ans red so much.

Thank you so much Ariane! I just thought red was a bit overwhelming on me - maybe I have to get used to it...
DeleteI think they still have the boots on sale, at least in UK. Maybe the US (online) store have some too?
All the colour in the first outfit is glorious - red and pink are a fabulous mix, and the jacket pulls it all together.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to have a reputation for dressing in an interesting way! Of course you deserve a round of applause! xxx
Thank you very much Curtise! I've decided to visit the canteen kitchen first thing in the morning when I arrive at school!
DeleteLove those bright, contrasting colors together! I'll bet your co-workers really look forward to seeing you in the AM. I like your neutrals look, too, and those new boots - awesome!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Patti! I guess it's hard to avoid seeing me in those bright colours!
DeleteOh, what fun boots! And I'm glad you chose that scarf; it really is perfect with the monochromatic silvery gray.
ReplyDeleteI'm a huge fan of red and pink together too, but, like you, haven't found the right piece(s) yet to wear it. I'm glad you finally did; I hope that means I will too!
Thank you very much Gracey! It's taken me a year to find the right top - is that patience or what? It is frustrating though, having to search everywhere for a whole year! So of course you will too, provided you don't give up!
DeleteI love your style! I really love the pink outfit because pink is my favorite color. Salivating over the ring, and the scarf in the second outfit!

I'm giving away a gorgeous Soft Surroundings top!
Thank you so much Cindy! I do wear that ring a lot - the cheapest of all my treasures!
DeleteReally bold colorblocking. Red and pink look great on you.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Glee! It won't be the last time I wear it!
Deleteah! i love it, i've been wanting to recreate sjp's look for awhile.

Thank you so much Megan! I can't wait to see your version!
DeleteWow, both the bolds and the neutrals look great on you - I especially like the scarf and how you picked up the same colours in your bracelets.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Narda! I was afraid I was over-coordinating!
DeleteWow, both the bolds and the neutrals look great on you - I especially like the scarf and how you picked up the same colours in your bracelets.
ReplyDeletethat ring is the icing on the cake
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Elle!
DeleteRed and pink is a match made from heaven! I am so happy that you finally found a great top to wear with your lovely skirt! I love your Birkenstock boots too!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Anna! Guess where I bought the top! Isn't it funny that the jacket is vintage - probably 80's, the boots are from a decade ago, the skirt last year and the top from last week - and they still suit each other! In other words - age doesn't matter!
DeletePink and red tick every bit of my style heart, instant love! :) But I must say you look amazing in beige as well, one of the few Id say. :) OMG those boots are from outer space!! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Monica! The beige top was rather disappointing though. After a few hours of wear the fabric lost the stretch, and the top became bigger and bigger, ending up looking quite ridiculous. It's been washed (gently) a couple of times, but this hasn't happened before - strange!
DeleteI've been wanting to do space-age-fashion for a long time, but it's hard to find clothes in that category that also fit my size and shape. The boots are just what I was looking for (and very warm with fur lining).
Oh, how wonderful for your actual applause in real life in addition to all of ours here!!! Your ring is spectacular, and I love your neutral with orange. Excellent boots! (clapclapclapclapclap) :D
ReplyDeleteThank you - Thank you - Thank you! Of course you're audience too, although I tend think of you (You, Amber + everyone else following my blog) as readers. Anyway, all positive feedback is always much appreciated! I do love the boots myself, not just because of how they look, but because they're fur lined! The warmest boots ever!
