KANGAROO JUMPER AND A MINI SKIRT FOR SPRING

Hello dear friends, hope you are all ok.

Each day the weather is getting warmer and nicer and I can feel how my mood is lifting from the slumber of winter which quite obviously reflects in my spring wardrobe.  Last post was all about my new red dress, today I am sharing with you another colourful outfit that I bought for the spring season. this time my choice of colour was orange.  Orange is such an uplifting happy colour and depending on the hue, it suits the majority of skin types.  This antipodean spring is all about a splash of bright happy colour and bold silhouettes and I am loving it.

I can't speak on behalf of everyone, but I've noticed that the older I've become the less I am afraid of wearing bright clothes.  In fact, as we get older and our skin, hair and bodies have gradually lost the natural glow of youth, we need to bring in a new dimension to replace what has gone.  And that is where bright clothes, accessories, shoes and lipsticks come in handy.  For me, that is.  

It's not that I don't like to be dressed in the classic combos such as black and white or all neutrals etc, it's just sometimes my soul asks for extra stimulation and I feed it with bright colours.

This knit Roo jumper in salmon is simply adorable, I love this cute image of a proudly Australian kangaroo, whose iconic bounding stylised silhouette graces the tail of our QANTAS airplanes making them recognisable all around the world.   When I saw the jumper folded on a display table at Marcs store, I knew I had to have it.  

It was quite obvious that it will go with any kind of pants - jeans, slacks, trousers but I wanted something slightly less obvious.  In my mind I picture it paired with a slim fit mini skirt and looked around hoping to find one.  To my delight, next to me was a rack where I spotted a two-tone stripe mini skirt in orange and ivory and immediately took it to the dressing room.

I like its A-line shape, it is not too tight around the hips but still has slim shape and looks great paired with the Roo jumper.

Again, like with the red dress outfit, I was pretty sure that this outfit will look nice worn with sneakers but I wanted to test its versatility and for that reason opted for low heel dress shoes in a blue colour and grabbed a handbag to match.  Both of them are from Salvatore Ferragamo and have been in my wardrobe for years, their quality and classic style have passed the test of time.  You have seen me wearing them together or separately in multiple times.  

Finally, I added one more element to today's outfit - my Hermes scarf.   Its signature orange colour with the specks of blue was a perfect accessory that united all the pieces together into a cohesive outfit of the day.

Would you wear a short skirt?  What do you wear it with?  Please share your thoughts in the comment section below.

Until then,
