& #Tuesday Twirl
Dear friends. I told you recently how I love "stalking" clothes online. I recently had a big success. I bought, on Vinted, a Laura Ashley skirt I had a few years ago. I always loved it and the skirt actually wore out. The replacement is in pristine condition and cost me £8.
I wore it on Saturday to the annual Kettlewell Colour Club picnic in the park, which I organise (although it barely needs any organisation except the date!).
It works well with the lighter Spring colours in my palette. I wore it with the Kettlewell Pippa top in apple mint, and Rachel jacket in confetti, as it was a little cooler on Saturday (hooray!).
Here I am with the other women analysed as Spring:
Here's a pic from when I first had the skirt, in 2014. I loved the cashmere cardigan but it became very worn.
So what else is new at Mutton Towers? Well, I bought a pair of shoes last week. Oops. I wasn't supposed to be buying any more shoes (or boots). I stumbled across a site that was new to me, Justin Reess. Well, brogue heaven! I couldn't resist these shoes in a warm, bright green. I love colourful brogues, and other quirky flat shoes because they add a bit of je ne sais pas to an outfit, now that I don't wear high heels.
However, with my "one in, one out" policy I will now sell my other pair of green brogues, from Embassy London. They are beautiful but the green isn't bright enough to work well with my wardrobe.
Do you have clothes that you loved a few years ago that you'd like to be reunited with? Do share in the comments.
Sharing with these fantastic sites.
