Mmmm; that heading was intended for my dear fellow ChCh folk; what a week it's been!
My heart & thoughts go out to those that have been further impacted by our latest events..........it is certainly a challenging time to keep creative.........and, I had promised to offer some fun accessory options on this page, but alas, have instead fallen prey to the scourge of sleep deprivation & exhaustion that has been one's lot lately here in ChCh, mmmm........
However! With saying that, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to meet up for lunch at Merivale yesterday with two awesome friends / ex-schoolgirl buddies (From our days at Westland High in Hokitika); doing our best to grab hold of spots of normality!
And of course, us being the Big Girls that we are, we're always looking for a MAJOR/minor excuse to dress up for fun!
I opted to be as colourful as possible..........& I wanted to at least put ONE pic up for this weeks' Mid-Week Fashion Inspiration!!
So, check this out!! Yesterday was a cool day, so we went all-out for wool; this fun dress was a treasure that I found at Rangiora's Red Cross shop last year, for the princely sum of $5; 100% wool (Quite weighty in fact!); and surely to have been home-made; no labels to speak of.......
The neckline is a plain round scoop, with the teal edging; VERY 1970's, don't you think?! & the bright slash of red is a throw-over cowl-wrap; picked up from the Asian store that used to be at the back of Whitcoulls in Cashel Mall (Awesome girls in there; I used to love walking thru to see what treasures caught my eye!)
And, the bright red beret of course helped keep the wind at bay.
Add a colour-punch with mustard-coloured tights & a happy big teal bling-ring, brown boots, & all set to go!
And then, there's the option of a final layer of warmth, in a 'don't-run-me-over' slash of bright red COAT!
Isn't it FUN???!!!
With whammo colour like these, it is advisable to keep away from black, for fear of "deadening" the brights; hence the brown boots.
This is a must-look for the faint-hearted; a real much-needed winter rev-up!!
I hope that has been a bit of fun for you?! Brief, tho it is; delivered with appreciation of fun & colour.
And speaking of colour, I WILL be posting some HOT looks on my Blog from Denderah Designs; in fact, if you're like me & can't wait to take a must-see peak; check out their latest postings at Facebook HERE!
& let me know what you think - I look forward to your feedback, ladies!
Meanwhile, keep safe, keep colourful, & be INSPIRED!! The world needs us!!
Blessings,
Jackie Farina
