As a way to calm my Viva blues, I got myself dressed up yesterday to go for Easter lunch with my husband, sister in law and brother in law. The sun was shining (not quite as brightly as the Vegas sun, but the south of England isn't quite the desert!) and so I pulled out some of my pretty pastels, did my hair and instantly felt a bit better.
I settled on my new Collectif Caroline skirt in green (in the sale here) which I found for the bargain price of £16. I have absolutely fallen in love with this skirt. I was a little dubious of the colour but I can't get enough of it and have had so many compliments every time I've worn it. I wish I'd managed to find the jacket too, but I'll just have to keep hunting for that in order to fulfil my Jackie O dreams!
I paired it with a pale pink, short sleeved jumper which I bought from Tesco about a year ago (such a surprise - it was clearly meant to be baggier but I sized down to make it more of a sweater girl look). It isn't available any more, but the Annie Bunny top from Collectif would look awesome and super Easter-y too.
I finished off my outfit with one of my newest loves, Erstwilder. They make the most amazing jewellery from resin. I have the Howards Hoot Owl Brooch (£23 from here for UK ladies) They arrive in gorgeous little boxes with tea tags, which really appeals to me as a tea lover! This is the only one I own at the moment, but I can see my collection growing extensively!
If money were no option, I would finish the outfit off with the Irregular choice Mal-E bow shoes (£75 from here) and the Miss L Fire Prom Date bag ($85 from here). As it is, I wore plain black flats and a vintage bag in black from a local vintage fair. The bag is lovely, the shoes were functional!
All in all, I loved this outfit, feeling for the first time like Spring is coming. Happy Easter!
