So I am in the middle of a super mental week...
doing all the things you have to when packing up a house at one end
and preparing a house to move into at the other end
and on top of all of that nonsense, the plague has made a sudden return in the last few days and I am battling fever, headache, sore throat and sinus
So the only thing for it was to pull out one of my old favourite old frocks
and throw on a bunch of happy vintage floral accessories
This old darling was one of my first ever vintage purchases
and I rarely wear her these days...
I wore:
1960s polyester maxi - Op shopped
Top 1960s enamel brooch - Gift from darling friend
Other two enamel brooches - Purchased from Gorgeous George at Vintage Fairs
1970s enamel daisy earrings - Vintage market
Shoes - Retail
Too many vintage florals are never enough, don't you agree?
Now, let's have a little chat about wearing yellow...
Every single time I wear yellow - and I wear it a lot - at least one woman (today it was two) tells me that she wishes she could wear it but alas, she can not. And I ask when she last tried to wear it and usually she says that actually she has never tried it, but she just knows it would look dreadful on her and wouldn't suit her skin tone.
To which I say Ppffftttttt!
There is a shade of yellow out there that will suit you - I PROMISE.
Be it a soft butter, fluoro, acid, citrus lemon or bright canary yellow, there is a shade for you.
If you love yellow, but think you can't wear it because it 'makes you look ill'
(it probably doesn't, but whatever)
try wearing it away from your face - bright shoes or a lovely patterned skirt - or wear a yellow dress or blouse with something in between to separate the colour from your face,
such as as some chunky beads in a flattering tone, or a scarf.
Give it a go - you might be surprised by how lovely you look in yellow!
The next few days are going to be quite mad, so I'm not sure when you'll hear from me.
If I go awol, don't panic, I'm mostly harmless and I totally know where my towel is at.
