Hello lovelies!
As you can see, normal service has been resumed today. My all black look was a token gesture from me as to what is a very common colour choice for so many women. I remember when I was in Sicily five years ago the streets were full of women wearing black from head to toe, a look that for me seemed very drab and depressing. Their reaction to me was almost a mirror to my confusion. We viewed each other as some strange other worldly vision.
The pink top was a Zara purchase from a few years ago, but today is its debut on the blog. I bought an identical orange one at the same time, but it too hasn't been aired yet. They are a very fine cotton yarn more suited to the summer, but ideal for this warm spring day.
The oyster satin trousers were gifted to me by my daughter (ages ago). I must admit that I've been a bit biased against them due to the lack of punch colour-wise, but today have discovered the joy of them when paired with this double dose of fuchsia. This is another test drive of an outfit for work next month. I'm quite excited to wear it.
Taking the lead from the oyster shade I've chosen rose gold rings (pre-loved) as my accessories.
I love the contemporary shape of these Quay Australia sunglasses.
The final flourish has to be my fabulous bubblegum pink sock boots from H&M.
I hope my tickled pink offering has brought a smile to your face or better still, acts as inspiration for a pink day for you sometime in the future.
Take care everyone!

Oh, I love this blast of bright pink Anna; the satin trousers look amazing with the pink bookends.
ReplyDeleteIt’s great that you get to wear your lovely outfits for work ...this one is very Spring-like and fabulous! X
Thanks for your enthusiastic response Phyllis! I just love creating new outfits from old clothes - it makes me feel so very clever x
ReplyDeleteI adore your pink "bookends" here, Anna! How can one help but be happy when confronted with these joyful pieces?
ReplyDeleteI've gotten the same reaction when I travel - L and I get mistaken for musicians, actors and artists due to how we're dressed. And it's NOT head to toe in black!
Have a good week, my dear!
Cheers Sheila. Isn't it funny how people still judge a book by its cover!
DeleteWishing you a super weekend x
Really inspiring!, I do love some fuchsia and love the way you styled it with the subtle oyster shade, adding some shiny texture too! brilliant and elegant!

Thank you so much. This was a fun outfit to create using colours I've never paired before x
DeleteDarling Anna, thanks for the shout - out! What a wonderful outfit, I love it all. I liked it the first time I saw it on IG. Brave hunny. Jacqui x
ReplyDeleteCheers Jacqui. The colour of these trousers is something that you or even Laurie would wear without thinking twice, but for me they are almost a step too far towards beige! x
DeleteMore excellent bookending! I can understand why YOU shunned the trousers for so long but with this combination, they take on a pearly sheen and go brilliantly with the pink!
ReplyDeleteThanks for that Kezzie. I must admit that these trousers are definitely growing on me...
