Mirjana - the shoes are so pretty. They are a little bit snug on my big toes (which I am sure I could get them slightly stretched at a bootmaker), because they are so lovely.
Joy - I am hoping that this skirt will be a real winner on a hot summer's day. The colour is so cool and soothing.
Sally - in Perth it was 25C today and went up to 28C yesterday, when I wore shorts. Unfortunately, rain is forecast for next week, so I have to enjoy the sunshine before the weather turns cold again.
Katerina - thank you for your critique and a great observation that the shiny shoes do enliven the softer and flat pastel colour, I had not really thought about that. For me, it is getting that feedback that really helps me put together more interesting outfits in the future - something to be aware of for next time.
Brooklyn - yes the mint is very close to my favourite turquoise and teal colours.
Janet - whilst I love pink, I will really welcome more mint and other cooler colours coming back in fashion. At least turquoise and teal seem available. I was heartened to see this colour at Zara, hopefully it will trend more in the future.
Robin - the matching shoes (which were bought a few years ago) were thought about in my desire to find something that harmonised with my skirt and sweater.
