Hello dear friends, how are you all?
The last couple of weeks were extremely hot, even by Australian standards and having learnt the hard way about skin cancer, protecting my skin from the damage of the sun has become absolutely paramount.
These days I am not only
slathering myself with 50+ sunblock (it was 15+ when I landed in Sydney 30
years ago, lol) but I seldom leave the house without carrying with me some sort
of cover, whether it is a scarf, a blazer or in this case, a linen shirt).
If it wasn’t for her, I would have bought it myself in
exactly the same colour hue. First of
all, I think it suits my complexion and the colour looks great against tanned
skin and secondly I love reinforcing this hue by also wearing oversized hoops
in a lighter shade.
We all had to climb over the side of the boat to get into a small dingy in order to get inside the Blue Grotto. You can only imagine what a sight it was when I was trying to swing my legs over the rim while trying to keep my skirt from hiking up. I was so humiliated from that experience that I promised to myself never to wear it again.
But as the saying goes: "Time is the best remedy" so the skirt is back on rotation.
Hope this funny story has made you smile 😀.
Until then,
xoxoxo
Love this breezy look! I love that you added the button down for a pop of color. Glad you are wearing the skirt again. :)

Thank you Kathrine, while I still can :)
DeleteI had forgotten I found a similar white skirt last year! Now I am looking forward to wearing it again! I have a little camo skirt that I don't wear too often because it is a little too short for everyday wear but my white one is a good one.

Thank you Mireille, I believe I saw your in short skirts before and you look stunning. Can't wait to see you in them again :)
DeleteI love this outfit, Anna! It’s so nice to see beautifully summery outfit while we are in winter here. And yes, pink is great on you! Ha! That would be tough - getting in a boat with that skirt. But it looks fabulous on you and so I’m glad it’s no longer banished.

thank you Michelle, I still chuckling just thinking about it :)
DeleteYes I grew up with my mom lecturing me about the sun and the damage it does so I stayed out and wore sun screen. She always looked much younger then her age and i do too so it pays off. Loving this easy breezy white and pink look!!

I love the bright pink with the monochrome white! A cover up for the sun is definitely a must have, especially in summer when we spend more time outdoors.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining the Weekday Wear Link up :)
thankyou Mica, have a great new week
DeleteSunny days are my favourite. I despise when it's freezing out. I just hope the same could be said about Scotland. Can't wait for it to start warming up around here. Your hoops are really cute! And what a beautiful outfit for the summer!

thank you Melody, not too long to wait, I hope :)
DeleteWhat a beautiful and cute white outfit. I love the added pop of pink and I agree! I always have a cover up when I am out and about. I am not a fan of the sun hitting my skin and lately it’s just been so hot when summer rolls around.
