Colour Combo: Pink & Black

-
Another day, another fun colour combo to try!  It's not that I haven't worn pink and black before, but it has been a long time!  I think pink and black go so well together because the black is a little edgy and the pink is a little sweet and together they are a perfect match!  It was about a year ago that I last wore this colour combo and at that time I was inspired by my brand new Candy Skull Chocolaticas (see below)!  A year later and I am still in love with these fun and quirky shoes and can't resist wearing pink and black when I wear them!  

In the first outfit I chose to wear a few different shades of pink with black and added some fun pink accessories.  It had been ages since I'd worn this pretty cherry blossom brooch, so I knew this outfit was the perfect opportunity!  I also wore my new tassel earrings and chunky pink ring that I've had for over ten years! 

Outfit 1:
Top: Sussan
Cardi: Millers
Skirt: Rockmans



Cheery Cherry Blossom Brooch by Erstwilder

Earrings: Lovisa

Ring: Diva
Bag: Strandbags

Shoes: Candy Skull Chocolaticas by HCD


In the second outfit I stuck with a solid black top and cardi and paired it with a black and white space dye skirt.  I added my black and silver ballet flats for something different, to give my candy skull shoes a rest! ;)  I accessorised with this fun hot pink skull scarf that I've had for at least 10 years and my fabulous flamingo brooch!  

Outfit 2:
Top: Sussan
Cardi: Millers
Skirt: Millers
Shoes: Rivers


Flamboyant Flamingo Funk Brooch by Erstwilder

Scarf: Groove 

Ring: Diva
Bangle: present from Mum
Bag: Trent Nathan

I sometimes feel like a flight attendant when I wear scarves, so I started joking around with hubby about it!  So much silliness ensued! ;)

    As my favourite colour is all shades of pink, it was a definite that I would like both outfits. However, I do like no.1 just ahead of no.2. Of course Amber looks cute in all colours. Flossie xxx

    I do love a bit of pink, but preferably in moderation and combined with a more edgy colour, like you did with black here. Now, that's a more grown-up but still playful way to wear girly pink, isn't it? I can't choose between your two outfits, as they're both gorgeous. I love the skirt of your first outfit and the wonderful cherry blossom brooch. But then I also love your second skirt, and that awesome flamingo brooch. I also love the addition of the bright pink scarf, and the way you have knotted it is genius! xxx

    Love the pink skulls scarf in the second outfit, a fun touch with the black! Pink and black is a combination I don't wear all that frequently although like you I find I love it when I do! :) Both outfits look so good on you! :)

    Hope that you had a wonderful weekend :) it was a quiet one here as I'm starting to get sick :(

    Oh I have always loved pink and black together. And I like in the first look how you used different shades of pink. And the second look is the opposite--all black with one hot pop of pink. And of course Miss Amber looks great as usual.

Up, Up & Away!

Do you consider yourself to be adventurous?  What does it mean to you to be adventurous?  Has the meaning of adventurous changed for you as you've grown older?   The other day I was out shopping with the family and noticed a new play area for kids, with hot air balloons painted on the walls.  After a quick family game of table tennis in which I truly sucked, the images of hot air balloons got me thinking about adventures and what it means to be adventurous.   I've never been adventurous in the extreme activities kind of way, such as partaking in skydiving, bungee jumping or even hot air ballooning!  I've never been interested in the first two activities, but I would like to ride in a hot air balloon and float up, up and away into the sky! In my twenties, I was adventurous in terms of travel and exploring new places.  I moved to Japan for two years when I was twenty one and travelled all around Japan (and other parts of Asia) by myself.  I always tried ne

Colourful Crop Cardis & Midi Skirts

Our internet is in and out at the moment, so while it's in , I'm going to go for it! The outfits I'm sharing with you today are quite different on the surface, as the colour schemes are dramatically different!  The first one has lots of autumnal colours and a bit of a 1970s vibe and the second one features more summery colours with a slight nautical vibe!  When I wore these outfits recently, I never thought they were similar at all, until I was going through my blog photos and realised both outfits were made up of colourful tees, cropped cardis and midi skirts!  So in that realisation, this post was born! My favourite outfit is the first one, because I haven't worn those colours much before and I was happy pairing these items together for the first time!  I like the second outfit as well, but I do wear blue and red together quite often.  Actually, it might be a good outfit for Australia Day, which is coming up soon!

Can you believe it is almost the end of February?  I am still getting used to it being 2019, and the second month is already almost over!  This is my last week to get everything sorted out before my postgraduate studies resume again next week.  I haven't even ordered my textbooks yet!  I really need to get organised!   In the outfit I'm sharing today, I'm wearing one of my fave maxi skirts that I've had for many, many years!  I've worn it with many different coloured tops over the years, but this was the first time wearing my new burgundy coloured top.  I love the burgundy and wine colours that are around at the moment.  They're so pretty! The outfit: Top: H & M Skirt: Tree of Life Sandals: Gino Ventori Necklace: Diva I've had these beads for so many years now, but I never tire of wearing them!  They add a bit of colour and cheer to every outfit.   Bag: Marikai This bag is a new purchase.  I had been on the lo
