G'day my dear friends and readers, hope you are all well.
The Antipodean spring is taking its time to arrive in full force so we still need jumpers, jackets and scarves.
Speaking of jumpers, I can't tell you how happy I am to know that pastel colours are surging back as the major trend this season and not just in the world of fashion but in home decor and interiors with soft blue, battery yellow, millennial pink (I had to search this one up) and minty green taking centre stage. Turns out, that millennial pink is a muted dusty shade of pink - sitting somewhere between blush, beige, apricot and muted salmon, basically the exact opposite of a bright hue of Barbie pink.
It has been years in the making, I can't even remember when was the last time I walked into the department store and spotted any clothes, apart of intimate apparel, in the pastel spectrum. Now that the tables are finally turned, I can happily store my greyscale clothes to the back of my wardrobe and jump on the pastel wagon starting with this millennial pink 😂 jumper which I bought from Nuew Denim brand well before I even read the announcement of this trend. I just wanted to wear some different to white, black or grey.
Today I am wearing it over my white Levi's denims. The pants have a classic straight cut that goes well with whatever you feel like wearing with them.
As for my shoes, my husband bought them for me as a gift about ten years ago after seeing me trying them on in the Repetto shop when we were in Paris. He wanted to surprise me and found them on-line from their website. Truth be told, I wasn't very much into them, they look a lot like the shoes I used to wear when I went to ballet school when I was young and that was probably the reason that I didn't buy them in the first place. But I didn't want to upset my husband so I thanked him, wore the shoes once or twice and then boxed them and tucked them to the back of my closet.
Fast forward to 2026 and now called "Jazz Shoes", they are emerging as a major footwear trend for 2026. I normally don't jump on the trend wagon knowing that it can soon fade away but since I have the shoes, I couldn't possibly see the reason why shouldn't I wear them after all.
If you have been following my blog, you might notice that I love wearing scarves and have quite a few of them. Some of them were from my late mother-in-law, the others were gifted to me by my husband for various occasions, just like this LV one that he bought for me for my 65th birthday. Traditionally I wear it wrapped around my neck but lately I like to wear it tied around my hips but that is for another post.
