I wonder if there can ever be a case of too much colour? If so, might this be it? Is there any point in me trying to apologise? I've just trawled through my album of photos from the past few weeks looking to find the right outfit to feature and despite my best efforts at trying to tone things down have opted for this colour fest today. I do have some more sober (well, less punchy) offerings to show you, but not this time. Here on the Isles of Scilly we're about to be hit by a gale and a huge, wet weather front this weekend. In light of this, I thought I'd inject a bit of colour to give myself a lift as we batten down the hatches. Summer lives on - in my little world at least!
Today's post is the first of three that I will be publishing over the next three days. Friday and Sunday are both my regular posting days, but Saturday is also the 20th of the month which is Ping Pong Post day. I do hope I can keep up the pace, and that you won't be sick to death of me by the end of the weekend! See you tomorrow?
Back to the ensemble - the skirt is by Boden (similar), top is from Coast (charity shopped), cardi is from Pure (similar), sandals by Refresh (similar), rings and necklace are gifts, watch is by Michael Kors, bangle by Kate Spade New York and sunglasses are from Quay Australia. Finally my pink glitter nail polish is called Pink Crystal by BINKY

So wonderfully bright! I love the rings too. I can't do them, I find it too difficult to wash my hands and I'm very OCD, but I sure do love them on others.

Great to hear from you again Suzanne. I fancy you and Melanie have been raiding the shops over the past few days? Some days rings irritate me, but I do like them as a finishing flourish to an outfit, although they were unusually the starting point this time. Thanks for your comments x

The rings are fantastic, and what a great starting point for an outfit. I really love the skirt - we don't have Boden over here, but I'm familiar with the name from other Euro bloggers. I'm keeping my eyes peeled for them in the second-hand shops!
ReplyDeleteI don't think you can ever have too much colour, Anna! This is a wonderful outfit and you completely carry it off. Have a marvelous weekend (and no, 3 posts in the 3 days is not too many, said the woman who posts 5-6 times a week!).
Boden will surely be evident over your side of the pond at some stage. The brand is big and growing at an impressive rate. Thanks for your support with this bright and breezy outfit. And yes, your track record is amazing, and not something I could rival. Have a great weekend x

No, no, no, all the colours are brilliant!!! You combine them so wonderfully! I absolutely adore it!!! That necklace (which I believe you changed into after the yellow skirt antics) looks SOOO good with that blouse and cardie combination- it is the perfect accompaniment!x
ReplyDeleteAm delighted to have you chime in like this Kezzie. It's easy to question the final look sometimes. You know I adore lots of colour, but that doesn't mean I don't worry it may be too much for those who have to look at it!
DeleteHave a great week x

My brother is enjoying being stuck on your island during his holiday !I hope the storms not too bad x

Ah Laurie, I wonder if I've served him in my gallery without me knowing? Saturday's gale has been and gone without too much disruption. Have a good week x

I love this outfit. Not too much colour at all. Everything is beautifully matched (heh heh heh 😄). How lovely of your friend Wendy to buy you those rings. They are great.

Thank you Greetje. Great to have your vote of approval once again! Wasn't that lovely of Wendy? Have a good week x

Meant to comment on this at the weekend but time ran away with me. Too much colour? NEVER I say. It's wonderful. I love cobalt blue and orange together and with that striped skirt just makes me want to whisk you away to a villa overlooking the Amalfi coast for an evening of Prosecco drinking.
