~ this room has all the colors I can take ~ |
Today I've dressed myself in all sorts of pastel-y colors, muted patterns and soft textures.
~ And turned my back on bright and vibrant hues ~ |
ahh, the peace and quiet of lilac knitted over-the-knee socks paired with old Doc Marten Mary Jane shoes.
~ uhhuh ~ |
Can we get a close up of that?
~ yeah, that's what I'm talking about ~ |
Ladies, what I'm wearing today is:
- the Becca jacket pattern made as a vest by Tina Givens (now out of print)
- a linen wrap-around dress modified from Simple Modern Sewing
- the aforementioned sox from Sox Dreams
- the Doc Martens from ebay
- $ store reading glasses
oh, and check out the handmade fasteners on my vest

Just the perfect amount of colors, I think! Love those shoes, they make me happy. Thanks so much for linking, xox

Just a beautiful -Spring is on its way - kinda outfit. Oh I just love those fasteners. It's those little details that are often missing on a lot of clothing these days. Sigh....
ReplyDeleteThis outfit is adorable! You've got me all ready for spring!
ReplyDeleteThose colours aren't ones I'd associate with a rock star like you but they work a treat! xxx
ReplyDeleteThe fasteners are the perfect accessory to the jacket. They look like little flowers. So pretty.
ReplyDeleteOh, it does start with the shoe, does it not? It's a very early spring palette: a little apple green, a little periwinkle (hey, the vinca are blooming this week!). Love the first photo ("it's too much, the soft blues and the acid opposites!")!
ReplyDeleteI would kill for your shoe collection! (But first: What size shoe do you wear? Lol!)
ReplyDeleteWell, I don't know then. What size do you wear and where do you live?
Deletethe impersonation of spring!
ReplyDeleteare this fasteners made out of metal? they look very interesting!
xxxxx
a rose gold colored metal wire, I think that's used for jewelry making.
DeleteYou surprised me here! The soft colors and dramatic pose!! Never say never. :-) Spring must be on it's way. XXXOOO
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with those Docs!!!
ReplyDeleteJJ
You look lovely in this. I don't know if I've ever seen you in such muted shades before?
ReplyDeleteI have got sock envy, I love those lilac ones
