Eye SPY: outfit of the day inspired by the intrepid "Spy Girl," aka Anne Bray who hosts a weekly blog event designed to get you out of your clothing rut. She calls it 52 PICK-ME-UP, and every Wednesday there's a different prompt- last week was purple- the week before plaid mixing, and me, day late, dollar short, have put the two together and am last minute joining in the #purple #plaid party.
#SHOPSECONDHANDFIRST: Pantone + Pendleton+ Plaid+ Purple = Pick-Me-Up
Not terribly impressed with my make-shift indoor studio- which consists of a white sheet in front of a wall and a couple of photo-lamps staring at me, but it will have to to for now. I have to gear up my online listings- making a go of full time vintage seller has its challenges! So forgive the goofy folds of the background and just focus on the spectacular mix of purples! This coat is such a beautiful beast- a rare bright pink/purple Harris Tweed from the 1950s, in perfect condition. The pink looks very much like the Pantone color of the year: Radiant Orchid. Also impressive is this skirt- another minty fresh, fresh pick- a perfect Pendleton in plum. Booyah! I'm feeling pretty radiant in my get up.
