Tutti Frutti - Style Not Age Challenge

 

Dear friends. It's time again for the Style Not Age Challenge, and this time it was chosen by Emma from Stylesplash. She chose a great theme for summer, Tutti Frutti. 

Coincidentally I had a new t-shirt from Kettlewell that's called Tutti Frutti. I love the colours of this: cream background and stripes in shocking pink, canary yellow and apple green. I'm wearing it with the skirt I rediscovered -see last week's post - which also came from Kettlewell, in 2013.  Apart from the t-shirt, everything was shopped from my wardrobe:  belt from Madeleine, necklace from Boden, sandals from Topshop, bag from Cambridge Satchel Co. 

Now let's see how my blogging friends got on.  Anna from Anna's Island Style has a beautiful backdrop, the Isles of Scilly, and it was a glorious day when she took the photos. 

She's wearing a vintage Jaeger skirt, a TK Maxx top and pink boots from H&M. Anna says "It's a joyful outfit on a beautiful summer's afternoon. What more could you ask for?"

Jacqui from Mummabstylish is wearing a dress borrowed from her daughter, Steve Madden orange bag which was a birthday present and her lovely tie up shoes in a fabulous shade of green.  She added green earrings to complete her tutti frutti outfit.  

Hilda from Over the Hilda  I thought these pics were taken abroad but no, they were taken at a friend's apartment in Ireland. What a view! It was very windy, Hilda tells us. She has shopped her wardrobe:  Hugo Boss dress, kimono from Zara, shoes from Clarks.  Her bag is by Irish designer @iampeelo.

And finally Emma, who thought up this month's challenge.  You can always rely on Emma for a spectacular colour explosion.

Emma is wearing a shirt and bag from the peach range by Fabienne Chapot. She has several pieces from this print range, including two dresses and a skirt. Lucky girl. Her trousers are by Flounce London (from Asos). Sunglasses are SkinnyDip London.

I hope you enjoyed our tutti fruttis. More pics on each of the blogs. I'm back on Wednesday with #WowOnWednesday, hope to see you then.

Anthropologie colour block dress

I didn't buy a colour block dress when they first came out. They seemed to be sold as dresses that took off inches. Now the colour blocking is less about creating hourglass shapes than having fun with colour.

This Anthropologie dress caught my eye because of the unusual mix of colours, and, with an eye on autumn, I thought it would make a good transitional piece paired with perhaps a lightweight Kettlewell silky top.

I snapped up it in the sale, along with the teal and white shoes from Next. It's my "reserve" for a wedding next Saturday. I'm not sure which dress I will go with. Probably the other one, which I'm not showing you (yet) because this dress can be worn to smart work occasions, whereas the other dress is more dramatic. 

The fabric is wonderful, skimming the figure in a kind way. I relished the chance to wear a necklace which my mum gave me years ago. She thinks it's some sort of rare stone but I'm not sure.

I'm looking forward to having a hair cut  next week.
