Do emerald green and fuchsia go together?




Happy Friday to you all!




Hurrah for Friday and hurrah for the joyful combination of emerald green and fuchsia! It's not for everyone this colour combo, but I'm delighted with today's look. I've worn the jacket and trousers before with black as the complimentary hue - see here




It's not just the wonderful colours that make me smile though. I'm so happy with this outfit because it represents my take on fashion perfectly. I've mixed vintage with pre-loved and high street finds to create a look that is totally unique to me. We're all individuals and I love to see a woman dressed with her own sense of style. For me it's not so much wanting to be noticed, more that I like to challenge myself to wear the same clothes differently each time. I may wear the same dress four times in a month, but each time the jewellery and shoes will be different. God forbid that I find my look boring!




The outfit details are - jacket is second hand, by Autonomy; trousers are from TK Maxx; the vintage blouse is by Shubette Separates, boots are from H&M.




This look is all about fun and oh, how good it makes me feel! The frothy, filly blouse screams glamour and even daytime dressing can be glamorous in my book. Another bookends look is a winner too. 




I paid £15 for these leather joggers and for the majority the price might reflect the fact that no-one surely would want green leather joggers. But hey, I do! I love the funky nature of leather plus joggers and on top of that they're really comfy.






It's great to bring out my Vivienne Westwood orb pendant again and doesn't it go well with this? My rings are pre-loved, charity shop buys. 




Another pair of Quay Australia sunglasses from my stash from this wonderful brand. The sleek black framed mirrored lens glasses top off the look perfectly.




Long live these pretty pink sock boots from H&M!




This weekend I hope to start, if not complete, my wardrobe changeover. It's with a funny mix of dread and delight that I approach this all-weekend task. I'm so ready to pack away furs and velvets and knee high boots, swapping them for lightweight fabrics like cotton lawn, chiffon and summer sandals. The weather is mocking me however, as we have a showery forecast for the next couple of days making me doubt if it's too soon for this. But it's the deed that must be done! We've been having some lovely sunny days lately causing me to struggle to find the right clothes, especially now that I'm back at work. Wish me luck with this!

  1. Next week will be the Big Swap-Over for me, Anna, and I agree, it doesn't quite feel warm enough for all those thin fabrics!

    Now, onto this amazing outfit!! OMG! The pants are leather? Be still, my heart. I dress the same way - it's got to be different each time or I'm bored. Love the VW pendant (the Holy Hand Grenade!).

    1. Well, we had a storm blow through here last night Sheila and I too am delaying my changeover until next week or maybe even the following one. Am feeling too chilly to submit to those summer fabrics x

  4. You look like Trinny in the opposite, meaning that she loves to wear pink with green. That blouse is incredible amazing! Have a great weekend.

    1. This is a fantastic new colour mix for me Phyllis and one that I'll be trying to repeat in other ways.

      As for the clothes changeover, common sense has prevailed due to the terrible weather here, so I'll hold off for the moment. Next weekend is Easter so it may be a couple of weeks until I can get to this.
