And so, on to the outfit of the day. This colourful ensemble was a work outfit, but I failed to capture it at the time and so did a re-run on Sunday. The eagle-eyed amongst you will see that some photos show me with necklace and matching bracelet and others not. I had great fun (not really) chasing the sun and had given up cloud dodging at one point and gone home, removing some of my jewellery only to have another burst of sunshine appear.
And yes, this look is indeed all about the joy of colour being orange and pink mainly. Nothing new here though. The flares are from Asos, cardigan from Primark, vest top from H&M and jewellery is all pre-loved. As ever, I'm holding on to summer for as long as I can and what better way to convey this than will these candy colours?
The cream boots were from Asos last year and have never been packed away. I love the platform for adding height - just perfect for these long loon pants.
At least I'm giving you lots of different views as I chased the sun. My tripod and timer served me well as I hopped from place to place trying to get a few decent shots.
Another glorious backdrop as we look across Saffron Bay and through New Grimsby sound and on to Cromwell's Castle in the distance. It wasn't too much of a hardship to be out and about early on Sunday morning. Once I'd gathered my photos together I went off for a swim on the high tide and it was probably one of the warmest and most enjoyable swims of the year so far. The sea was calm, not a jellyfish in sight and no-one on the beach at all. Idyllic!
My 70's look is completed by these round sunglasses (ancient, from River Island) and the perspex rings. It's fun to relive the fashion of my teens even though that was 50 years ago - yikes! I'll finish off with a few more local shots of Tresco looking rather stunning in the early autumn sunshine.
And this was tonight's sunset as seen from my garden.

Unfortunately, with the time zones, the funeral was at 2am here, so I had to content myself with watching clips online. It looked very solemn and grand, and beautiful in its way.
ReplyDeleteLove your pink and orange, Anna! I've had to redo full outfits when I've accidentally deleted the pics from my camera due to brain fog. Lovely backdrops! Swoon!
Thank goodness I'm not the only one who suffers with brain fog! Glad you like the pink and orange - it's such a fun look, eh? xxx
DeleteHi Anna, again beautiful pictures. My one and only favorite is the last with the sunset. UNBELIEVABLE
ReplyDeleteHugs from Susa
Wasn't that a cracking sunset Susa? Lovey to hear from you again xxx
DeleteYes I watched it and had a few tears when I did, wasn't it sad and an end of an era! Love the whole look, wow your legs look so long! Happy week my friend. x Jacqui
ReplyDeleteThe end of an era indeed Jacqui - so very sad. The fashion for loon pants did have its upsides eh - my legs are far from long in real life, hahaha xxx
DeleteThe whole event was amazing. Nobody can do pageantry like your nation and it was really the end of an era. I had huge admiration for the Queen; she really did live through the most incredible change in the world. On another note, you should be paid by your tourist board. xxx
ReplyDeleteMuch as her passing was a terribly sad event, the queen did manage to bring the country together in her final days.
DeleteMy island backdrop does serve me well on the blog when I'm out and about xxx
