So, as the title suggests, Wednesday means Timeshare party here at Gallery Tresco and this was me after the event last night. Timeshare and Island Share owners have bought into Tresco life and as such this weekly gathering is one of the perks. It's the perfect opportunity for everyone to get together to chat about all things island as well as comparing what each property has to offer and to boast about who's got the best view!
It may not look like it, but I'm struggling to find things to wear at the moment as I've not yet done my bi-annual clothes changeover. My wardrobe and shelves are still full of winter woollies and boots, but hopefully next week I'll be taking some time off and that will be one of my chores. That said, I did receive lots of compliments about outfit of the day last night which is always a lovely boost to the morale. Nothing new here at all; the suit was a charity shop find in Harrogate a long, long time ago (it was on the men's rail, so do remember to rummage everywhere), likewise the vintage blouse, another charity shop find this time from Exeter many moons ago, the boots were from Diechman just before Christmas and the pink handbag is rather ancient too.
The pink handbag by Furla is my mini Candy bag which unfortunately didn't show up in quite the right colour - it's much more pink than that! Not quite the same colour as my boots but still acceptable fashionista-wise I think. More importantly, it's the only pink bag I have.
Nothing new with the accessories either. Sunglasses are my old faves by Quay Australia, the bejewelled watch was a charity shop buy and only recently rediscovered in a box, the huge pink resin ring was a gift from a friend and the other a charity shop find too. The necklace was a purchase a few years ago from Gallery Tresco and is by Charlie Dodge.
So, you must excuse me, but I've got to return now to my sewing machine. I'm trying to make a pink net underskirt to wear under my orange linen dress, as one does. The slight problem I have is that I don't have a pattern and despite looking at lots of tutorials on youTube I'm really none the wiser. I have no real idea what I want to achieve apart from it being a flash of colour as I walk.
As ever, thank you so much for dropping by and hopefully I'll see you again on Monday!

Ooh, I'm excited to see your project, Anna! This is a fabulous suit, and the pops of pink are utterly perfect. You look stunning! I hate it when colours don't show up right on camera/in pictures - I just bought a purple duster cardi that is indigo purple and it insists it is blue. Gah!
ReplyDeleteGood to see the front of your workplace - I don't think I have ever seen The Gallery Tresco!
I really like the pink with the blue, the colour adds femininity to the outfit & the boots & bag add a lovely retro feel.
ReplyDeleteLove the colour combination Anna, the blouse feminises the suit and I love the frill neckline.
ReplyDeleteReally looking forward to seeing your sewing project. Xx
Oh can’t wait to see the finished piece. I applaud you for trying this. Great suit and the sleeve detail is so pretty xx Jacqui x
