Blue on blue on blue

You know I am not one to shy away from bold contrasts but sometimes it is ok to go more subtle. If you are in a mood to create a look with a soft colour palette you can always combine different tones of the same hue just like I did in this look by playing with different shades of blue. The result is very harmonious yet not boring. 

When I bought this dress back in February on sale I didn't really think through the fact that the low back cut and the high front slit would be elements that would make me insecure about using it on its own. Neither had I realised how easily the fabric wrinkles. However I still like it so I had to find a way to be able to use it and I am quite pleased with the effect that it gives as a top layer. That doesn't really solve the wrinkling problem but I have decided just to ignore it and accept the fact that it will never look perfect. Who wants to look perfect anyway?

Tulle and canvas

I have had this tulle skirt for about 4 years now and I just can't get over how pretty and comfortable it is and that it makes me feel like a ballerina. I love that it is versatile and how it can be combined with a blouse and high heels for a formal occasion or with a t-shirt and flats for a casual, everyday look. 

And cute canvas shoes found on sale are a great match for it!

Beatles and Miss Confetti

A black cross-body bag is a classic especially for a night out. Half moon bags are having a moment this season. What do you get when you combine both and give them a gold polka dot print? My new, super cute bag! Who says black has to be boring??

Pink and cobalt

The weather is quite unpredictable here at the moment. When I leave the house for work in the morning it is quite cool and then in the afternoon it gets hot and then again fresh in the evening so what can be done? Layers of course that you can put on or take out easily and adjust to the temperature! And this is what this outfit can do!

Hats: yay or nay?

I am not ashamed to say I am embracing the trend of hats. First of all they add a spin to any outfit but at the same time they can keep your head warm now that the weather is getting cooler... So as long as you can pull it off, go for it!

Polka dots because they are pretty and feminine and elephants for good luck. Combining coral with cobalt to give some colour to the dark days of autumn.
