THE SHACKLES ARE OFF OR HOW I STYLED BLUE, BLACK AND RED STRIPE SKIRT

Hello dear friends,  hope you are all well.
HOW I STYLED BLUE, BLACK AND RED STRIPE SKIRT
I have a bundle of good news to share with you: first - our three month lockdown is officially over and we can do anything we want, almost.  We can go and visit other people at their homes and have them over at ours, restaurants, bars, shops, hair salons etc will be open, though with some restrictions.

We can travel beyond the five kilometer limit and have other freedoms that we used to take for granted.  There is however, one catch - you have to be double-vaxxed.  I am not going to enter into any discussion about the pros and cons of vaccination but if you an anti-vexxer, you would not be allowed inside a movie house, a restaurant or bar, hair salon, gym etc until the first December.  Oh well, as they say "each to their own".

I can't wait to get a proper hair colour and a cut as for the last three months it was DYI jobs for both of us.  It was easy to cut my husband's hair but when it came to mine, I had to fiddle with the mirrors in our bathroom to find the right angle where I can see what I was actually cutting at the back of my head.  Honestly, judging by my photos, it looks liked did a pretty good job 👍👍👍 😁.

Also, my birthday is coming up in the last week of October and we can go out and have a proper dinner at a nice restaurant.   I am so looking forward to wearing fancy clothes and shoes again, putting make up on and enjoying dinner that was neither cooked by me nor delivered by Uber Eats in a cardboard box😉.

We have made few plans to travel further afield but I don't want to go into the details prematurely, in case they will go awry (one of many Russian superstitions that I follow to my husband's annoyance) 😏.

All this good news has obviously made an impact on my mood and my choice of clothing.  If you are a regular reader of my blog, you might notice that the main representation of colours in my outfits in a last couple of posts were mainly black and grey (here & here).

Now I feel that an injection of bright hues little is in order, hence this multi-colored skirt and a scarf with the addition of extra dark and light blue in the shape of my Salvatore Ferragamo shoes.

As for the top, it is quite old but I love it for it has a boat shape neck which is my favourite.

  7. So glad you are about to do more and are out of lockdown. I know how hard that was here. I do think people are less inclined to take things for granted. I know my mood often effects my color choices! Love the colors in your skirt and the scarf looks lovely with this outfit.

  9. Glad that you have your freedom back Anna. My, that seems to have been a long time you were holed up! I can't have the jab as of yet and I fear that this is going to affect me at some point. I'm hoping they will come up with something for us in the minority that can't have the vaccination xx

    1. Sadly, this is not ideal situation, I totally understand your concern, Laurie. Is there any way you can get some legal piece of paper explaining why you can't get vaccinated? Hope you find a way around this problem. I am guessing, travelling would be the trickiest.

  11. This is such a great look. I adore that skirt and the colours. It is stunning and the way you styled it as well. My birthday was yesterday and it was the most fun way to celebrate the festive season.
