Pink Checks, Purple Zig Zags, Two Watches

As I still have a head full of cold today I’ll mostly let the outfit do most of the talking.

It was about time I wore my thrifted Lacroix blazer again – the find of the century! – but I was actually finding it hard to style differently to the way I wore it here. So I just went with jeans as the starting point, then added enough layers to keep me warm in the form of my go-to denim shirt and a sale bargain sweater from ASOS. And wearing more than one watch? I saw Jessie from Style & Pepper wearing watches like bracelets – that girl can do no wrong in my eyes so that was good enough for me!

I also haven’t worn these heels in a long time – it’s as if they were made for this blazer. I forgot how pretty they were 😉

Hope you all had/are having a lovely weekend!

    Catherine, you are becoming a style icon! Beautiful look. I love the colors in the sweater and the blue nails! Blue and purple are my 2 favorite nail colors.

    So have I told you lately how much you inspire me? I've been thinking a lot lately about how we all our own sense of style but are open to learn and try new things. You inspire me with color!

    You look beautiful as ever with all your glorious colours! I voted yes for Twitter, although I'm not an avid Twitter user, but I tweet every day. Are you on Pinterest yet? Since you're such a visual person and post wonderful outfits, I think that would be great for you. Great for inspiration and it can lead to quite a bit of extra traffic too if your pins get repinned a lot. Let me know if you need an invite. I'm at https://pinterest.com/40plusstyle/

      Aww thank you so much, Sylvia, that's so sweet of you! I am on Pinterest but have only really just started using it – it's my next project to get my outfits regularly pinned on there. Thanks for the tip! C x

    I love the colour combinations of this outfit. The shoes tie it all together. I wear jeans alot and I'm always looking for new ways to style them.
    Get well soon:)

      Thank you, Audrey – I am becoming a bit fond of blues and pinks together…! And thank you for your good wishes (STILL can't breathe properly, boo!) C xx

    Is that belt blue on one side and pink on the other?! Because that would be awesome! This is a great jeans look – jeans are one of the things I have the most trouble styling. I always feel like I look too sloppy in them. Your outfit looks kind of fancy, though!

    • 6 February 2012 / 11:57 am

      It's not blue on the other side, it's all pink with a blue edge (but a reversible belt would be a great invention, I'm sure they must exist somewhere)! And I don't ever think you look sloppy in jeans, Stacey – your combinations are way too eclectic and interesting 🙂 Thanks for your lovely comment! C xoxo

    The sweater anchors this entire look for me! I have asked Jesse who sometimes wears multiple watches whether she keeps them set for different time zones.

    • 6 February 2012 / 11:52 am

      Ooh I never thought about the time zone thing! That would be clever as half my family live in Australia…! Thank you Terri :))) C x
