skirts & purple

Showing some really old skirts and enjoying a hippie style, which it's this week's theme at 52 Pick-me-up: Woodstock Nation. Actually, my patchwork-style skirt was purchased when I was seventeen, and it's not something recovered from my lumber room, it has been in my daily wardrobe for ages, because even in my all-dressed-in-black younghood, there was some color. I don't remember if I had a great investment, but I think it's one of the best purchases I ever made.

Hoy toca sacar unas cuantas faldas antigüitas y unirme al estilo hippie que es el tema de la semana en 52 Pick-me-up: Woodstock Nation. Realmente, esta falda estilo patchwork es de verdad de hace siglos, la compré cuando tenía unos diecisiete, y no es que la haya sacado del desván, es que siempre ha estado colgada en mi armario (incluso en mi época de ir toda vestida de negro, hubo sus toques de color!). No recuerdo si fue un gasto muy grande, pero creo que es una de las mejores inversiones que he hecho en mi vida!



- shirt, Punto Roma (old) / camisa
- orange necklace, Aïta (old) / collar naranja
- pendant, Silvereira / colgante
- sandals, Hush Puppies (old) / sandalias
- old sarong as a shawl / viejo pareo a modo de chal
- crochet starfishes hairpin / horquilla de estrellas de ganchillo
- old and revamped beach bag / bolso de playa viejo, tuneado.
- new ring, by Beataren at Etsy / anillo nuevo

Another hippie skirt, this one was bought at a flea market ten years ago. Love its color, but I don't know why it's so tricky to match. Something about proportions, I think. Anyway, it's going to my donate-sell pile very soon.

Otra falda estilo hippie, esta fue comprada en un mercadillo hace unos diez años. Me encanta el color, pero no sé porqué resulta tan difícil de combinar. Debe ser algo en las proporciones. Así que creo que se va a ir al montón de donar-vender, muy pronto.

Looking very intellectual at the public library! And looking very visible to join Visible Monday, and fight any Monday blues!

Qué intelectual parece una en la biblioteca!. Pero muy visible para unirse al Visible Monday Lunes Visible, lo mejor contra cualquier rollo de lunes!

  13. I love your skirts. If only I lived closer to raid your give away pile!
    I just noticed, your bag has starfish to match your hair.
    Coincidentally,I have just cut my hair to a very similar style as yours, minus the plaits.
    You have such fabulous colours as usual :-) XO JJ
