Tiffany blue with bows on

Top: ASOS, Belt: Topshop, Skirt: Vintage – thrifted, Heels: River Island at ASOS, Initial “C” necklace: ASOS, Hair bow: Unknown, Watch: Gift (ASOS) similar, Tortoiseshell cuff: Accessorize, Gold bracelet: New Look, Gold/blue ring: F+F, Gold band ring: ASOS, Lips: Revlon Moon Drops Orange

Tiffany Blue: what a gorgeous colour. This top is new (season) from ASOS – it was described as Mint but I think Tiffany Blue sounds much nicer. (Normally I wait till things are on sale before buying, but I loved it so much I got it straight away. I did however use a 20% voucher, so still didn’t pay full price…!)

But did you know:

The Tiffany Blue colour is protected as a colour trademark by Tiffany & Co. It’s produced as a private custom colour by Pantone, with PMS number 1837, the number deriving from the year of Tiffany’s foundation. As a trademarked colour, it is not publicly available and is not printed in the Pantone Matching System swatch books. (Source: wikipedia) That’s pretty cool, if you ask me.

And oh how I Y the little bows on the sleeves. I liked the top contrasted against my 70s woolly maxi skirt 😉

P.S. Please don’t forget if you have a minute to vote for me on Refinery29’s Next Big Style Blogger contest (see this post for all the details), I’d really appreciate it… and if you have already – thank you so much!!!
