Colour me orange

Hello lovelies! This was my favourite outfit from last week - the one that seemed to garner the most attention and compliments. A beautiful spring day with a fabulous blue sky deserved an equally fabulous outfit.

Fabulous, but nothing new here. I'm gradually culling my wardrobe, keeping only these hardworking pieces that I know I love and will continue to wear often. After gathering clothes for goodness knows how long, I'm on the big dejunk that happens later on in life (yes, this applies to me as I knock on the door of my 70's).

Orange is such a happy colour, a true burst of joy for me. The jacket was a Vinted find, the dress was from New Look many moons ago, belt was from Amazon and baseball boots were from Primark. If you happen to visit Tresco this summer then it's highly likely you'll see me wearing this as it's a real feel-good outfit.

The jacket is one of my truly interactive pieces, prompting lots of comments. Mostly it's referred to as my Sargeant Pepper jacket or my Freddy Mercury jacket - I'm perfectly happy with either of these.

The orange perpex rings are indeed old, but are perfect pairing for this look.

The chunky necklace always gets me compliments and suprises people when they hear it was a buy from TopShop when they were trading. (Boo hoo, I do miss TopShop!) My sunglasses are from Quay Australia and really are ancient.

The cream woven baseball boots look deceptively smart and yet come from Primark. A flat shoe is always all-day comfortable and this was a long day, ending with a drinks party at work.

I do rememeber watching a programme over 10 years ago, called the Fabulous Fashionistas which definitely impacted on me and the idea of creating my own fashion blog. One of the ladies spoke about her outfits saying if she had a favourite that she would often wear it for several days consecutively, up to a whole week in fact. This is one of those outfits that I could wear on repeat without tiring of it.

Thanks for joining me and I hope you have a lovely week!
