Visions of you, in shades of blue


Getting dressed is a tricky business at the moment.

Freezing cold one day, warm and sunny the next.

What's a girl to do?



Wear old favourites in shades of blue with splashes of green, obviously.
 
 


1970s dress - vintage shop
Cardigan, tights, shoes, necklace and bangles - charity shopped
 
 
 
This dress is one of my old faithfuls. 
 
It needed some fixing up when I bought it, it's been a little battered by life.
It's not flashy, it doesn't shout Look at meeee! 





But I love it. It's a survivor. 
Aren't we all?
 
 
 
 
My garden is full of bluebells and forget-me-nots amid lush greenery, such a beautiful combination.


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The first butterfly of the year - an orange-tip.
 
 
 



This skirt is also firmly in the favourite camp.
 
 
 

It received a lot of attention today from Joseph the Bric-a-brac Man on Chesterfield market.

I might have used his enthusiatic admiration for bargaining purposes, but since I was buying from his 3-items-for-a-quid boxes, there was no need to haggle!
 
 
 

The 1960s Alfred Clough coffee and tea pots and the Meakin jug were my 3-for-£1 buys.
 
Other purchases;

1930s Homeleigh ware egg cup set (one sadly missing) - £1
1970s floral sheet (behind) - £1
1970s hat - £2
Late Summer - print by Clemens Freitag - £3
 
 
 
 
 
1980s skirt, shoes and sunglasses - Ebay
Top, cardigan, tights and bangles - charity shopped
Scarf - flea market
Brooch - gift from road tripper Sarah









 



So what's been inspiring your colour choices lately?
