Orange & Blue & Op-shop Treasures!

-


Orange is such a fun and vibrant colour and has become one of my favourite colours to wear in the last few years.  It's such a happy colour and it is a great colour to wear in summer!  Orange looks great paired with lots of different colours, but orange and blue would have to be one of my all-time favourite colour combinations.

I've had this skirt for many, many years and it is such a bright and fun print.  This top is quite new and is very orange in real life, even though it looks more red in the photos.  I completed the outfit with a mix of orange and blue accessories.  Speaking of accessories, my bag is a recent purchase from a day out op-shopping!  It still had all of its original tags on and was in pristine condition!  It's original price tag showed $49.95 and I got it for $10!  Such a great find!  

The Outfit:
Top: Sussan
Skirt: Rockmans

Earrings: Susan Jane Jewellery

Shoes: Hippie Chocolaticas by Hot Chocolate Design

Ring: Lovisa
Prayer bead bracelet: bought in Japan
Bag: Milleni, bought at op-shop




Another fantastic find at the same op-shop, was this beautiful clutch made from obi kimono fabric.  It is absolutely gorgeous and the quality is fabulous!  When I lived in Japan I saw similar clutches at markets that people had made out of obi fabric and they were really expensive.  Can you believe this one was only $4?  A true treasure.

    Oh I'm loving both the new bag and the clutch you got - great finds! I foudn a maxi skirt in an opshop the other day and I'm very happy, I think the previous owner had it altered as it fit my short self perfectly, no trailing on the ground, haha!

    You look beautiful in orange too.

    Hope that you are having a good week :) I've been loving the cooler nights, hope you are getting some of that breeze we are here in the bayside.

    Orange and blue are definitely a pick-me-up colour combination! I'm already mentally putting together an orange and blue outfit of my own ;-) That's a fabulous bag you found and the clutch is exquisite. And look at Amber's cute little face! Have a lovely weekend, Sasha! xxx

Lady in Red!

Hi Blog Friends!  How are you?  I hope you're happy and healthy.  It really is a weird state of limbo at the moment, isn't it?  On the one hand, the schools are open, so life almost feels like things are returning to normal, but on the other hand, my work hasn't re-opened yet due to covid-19 health concerns!  There are some businesses and members of the public that seem to be enacting strict social distancing practices and others seem not to care at all!  It is such a confusing time!  At least during these unstable times, there is always fashion!  Being creative and wearing bright and colourful outfits, adds joy to my day.  It is something that we have control over and something that can bring us comfort in a weary world.   Red has been the colour I've worn quite a lot of recently.  Red symbolizes strength, determination, passion and love.  It is the perfect colour for these times!  Here are two red outfits I've worn very recently.  Hope you love them!💓💓 Outfit 1:

Hi Blog Mates!  I have missed you!  September has been a completely frantic and chaotic month, which unfortunately has meant my blog has had to take a back seat lately.  I apologise for being so behind with my comments on your blogs too!  I asked Amber to do that for me, but she said she was too busy sleeping and being beautiful!😹 Anyway, on to the outfits!  I had planned on spreading out the below outfits across a few different posts, but now that the end of the month has come, I thought I'd put them together into one eclectic mix of colours and styles!   Outfit 1: Top: Kmart Pants: Rockmans Shoes: Rivers Necklace: Millers Mum bought me this gorgeous bangle in the UK last year and a few weeks ago I found earrings that match perfectly at my local Lovisa store!
