Add warmth to your winter wardrobe
with this super hot color combination.
I’m loving my new fuchsia skirt made in wool boucle. I just picked it up from the cleaners; a professional press makes such a difference in the finish of the garment. Notice the short slit in the front seam line; sometime I put it in the back seam, but like to change it around every now and then just to keep things interesting.
In the back view I tried it with the fuchsia suede wedge shoes, but I think they draw the eye downward too much and are a bit clunky for the silhouette. Back to the store they go!
To my surprise, I actually prefer the orange flats in the next photo. Besides being more comfortable I think the orange is better visually, plus they are already part of my ever increasing shoe collection. YAY!!! I like it when I can used something I already own. Now all I need to do is dig out my fuchsia handbag and I’m ready to rumble.
You inspire me so much! Your sewing is just always amazing.
As a matter of fact, I am giving you the Inspirational Blogger award!

Hello there,
Thank you for “liking” my post “Blizzard of 2013″ on
uribotanicalgardens.wordpress.com
Wow, those colors! Like the pink wild roses and orange daylilies along the side of the road in June….love it.
I cannot wear orange,yellow, or brown, but you look great in the orange!
Best,
Gabrielle
What a nice description and wonderful compliment. Thank you!
The skirt turned out great and the whole outfit looks really pretty!
And I agree with you on the orange flats!
Thank you IS!
Gorgeous! And those are beautiful colors on you!
Thank you, Jayne.
Lovely colours! You are so right that the orange shoes work the best. You look very good in your new skirt.
Thank you! I’m glad you like it.
Very nice with a delicious color combination. You comments on the shoes are spot on!
Thanks, Cathy. I’m glad you see the same thing I do about the shoes. Shoes can be hard sometimes… I find it interesting how the right shoe can make the difference between a great and one that doesn’t work at all, which is why women need so many different pairs of them.
Too true! Too bad husband’s don’t see it that way!
I’ve been seeing that colour combination a lot lately. mostly on 8year olds, so its good to be in touch with your inner child
personalyl I can get away with orange but the entire pink clan seems to have declared a vendetta against me
Well yes, you may have noticed Tigger showing up in one of my previous posts.
there is a theory that everyone can be categorised as a winnie the pooh charachter, which leaves me wondering how one of lifes eeyores like gareth puts up with a very annoying tigger like me, when he obviously finds me irritating for a lot of the time (he says its like dating a toddler).
I hvae concluded that he puts up with me for my cooking
You look great, lovely color combination !!
Thank you, Isabel!
Gorgeous combination of colours. You look lovely.
Thank you!
Great colour blast! I agree the orange flats go best !
I really thought (before trying them on) that the orange flats would break up the visual continuity too much and thought the pink would probably be better, but I’m with you… the orange IS definitely better. Funny how these things work out. Sometimes you just have to experiment.
Thanks for your perspective.
Thanks, Dot!
Love the colors and you wear them so well!
