On the bright side
Tuesday, February 25, 2014
Apparently I went through a stage of wearing very dark clothes at one point in my early teens. I don’t really remember that, perhaps I’ve blocked it out. I did consider going a bit goth in my later teens but to be honest it would have been too much of an uphill struggle with my family so I let that phase pass unexplored. These days I like to wear bright colours and plenty of patterns,sometimes all at once.
I was feeling exceptionally cheerful a few weeks ago and decided to wear red, yellow and orange all in one go, to stick two fingers up at the miserable weather and I think the result is one rather jolly splash of colour well worthy of a smile. This charm necklace was a £1 charity shop find and I've taken to wearing it on every possible occasion since buying it, I do get attached to things.
Skirt, jumper, skirt and necklace all from charity shops. Boots - Internacionale. These pictures are rubbish quality I'm afraid, sorry about that but I did want to share my bright look even if my hair looks a bit odd as well. I'm wearing a little band thing with black and gold thingys on which looks rather lovely but not in my hair. A rethink may be in order.

This skirt is incredible! I love tartan and the way you've paired the red with the yellow shirt :D

Well this really is sticking two fingers up to the weather! I tend to revert to jeans and big chunky jumpers in muted tones in crappy days but I rather like your approach! *looks at weather, looks at clothes, decides to change*
ReplyDeleteI had a phase if wearing black that lasted a decade. Now I tend to steer clear.
Love the skirt <3

ReplyDeleteI love this checked skirt- it reminds me of a scarf I used to envy of my sister's when we were at school.
