Hi all
This week I started off wanting to do an outfit that combined purple and red, after seeing Eve Arden wearing a beautiful purple and red dress in the 1940s movie “Cover Girl”.
That led me to my big patchwork bag (by Lucky Brand, purchased in NYC in 2009), which combines red, purple, shades of brown and cream. Taking my cue from that, I decided to add brown to the mix.
The cotton pullover is by Free People and is the first thing I wore on YLF some 7+ years ago. It faded over time so I re-dyed it last year. I was aiming for burgundy but it came out a magenta shade of purple. Dyeing is like that, a bit hit and miss, but I do quite like the new colour.
The necklace is about 15 years old. I wore it to repeat the red in the bag.
The brown combat boots are a duplicate of my black pair. I love them. And they are very comfortable and practical.
After taking the photos I decided a redder lipstick might be a good idea, to add another red element. The last photo shows the darker lipstick.
Bad hair day due to drizzle and humidity. I gave up on taming it. Please overlook!
I’d love to hear your thoughts on the colour scheme.
Happy weekend everyone
