massive cardi & autumn

This massive cardi was worn for the first time on March (here), actually it was my last (published) outfit before lockdown. I had planned to wear it through the springtime, but this is another plan that had to be cancelled.
But we are in autumn/fall now and this means another opportunity to wear this cardi, even for a short time as the weather is cooling down quickly!. So let's make the most of Autumn!.
Esta chaqueta de ganchillo enorme la estrené (en marzo), en realidad fue mi última entrada antes del confinamiento. Había planeado ponérmela durante la primavera, pero este es otro de los planes que tuvieron que cancelarse.
Pero ahora ya estamos en otoño y eso significa otra oportunidad para llevar mi chaqueta, aunque sea un ratito, ya que enseguida llegará el frío. Así que, ¡aprovechemos el otoño!.
- massive crochet cardigan, made by me / chaqueta ganchillo enorme, hecha por mí
- jacket, second hand, eBay (old) / chaqueta de segunda mano de eBay
- skirt, vintage, a present by Vintage Vixen / falda vintage, un regalo de Vintage Vixen
- shirt, second hand, Sunday street market (I've shortened it) / camisa, de segunda mano del mercadillo (y la he recortado)
- scarf, a cotton sarong from a charity shop / pañuelo, un pareo de algodón de una tienda solidaria
- necklace, Ciclón / collar
- cat brooch, a present (old) / broche de gato
- maryjanes, Hotter (old) / merceditas

Hope you're keeping yourselves (and others) safe and as fabulous as possible!

Espero que todos sigáis bien y todo lo estupendos que os sea posible!

    1. Thank you for your compliment!, I'm not really skilled, this has been easier than it looks.

  2. Your massive crochet cardigan is absolutely stunning, and I'm sure it is turning many heads! In fact, your whole outfit, with its gorgeous purples, oranges and yellows, and its variety of textures, simply made my day. Plus: cat brooch! What a delight! I do wish more people were like you and understand the importance of colour therapy. Whatever life is throwing at us, colour has the power to make us - and others - feel better. Besos xxx

    1. You are spoiling me with so lovely compliments!
      I was not really comfident on my own skills when I started to crochet, but finally I decided to work in a more organic way, and I think it worked better. I feel more comfident now.

  5. That cardigan is a work of art, I absolutely love it. You couldn't have chosen a better colour than the aubergine of the skirt to show off its zingy Autumnal hues. xxx

  6. As Polyester Princess said, colours can make us feel better and when I see you in this outfit I feel a flash of light and brightness. These colours together are wonderful, but it's even better knowing that you MADE that incredible!!! cardigan. This might be one of my favourite crochet pieces ever.

    1. Thank you, I'm feeling like a million bucks now!. I also love opulent clothing and rich colours!.
      And it's amazing that this cardigan took me a few hours of work (the planning and designing took more time!)
      I've missed some of my spring clothes this year. But all we have missed so many things that clothes look 'not so important'.

  9. WOW, I love this colour combination SO MUCH! That cardi is really a work of art - the oversize crochet is so unusual. Where did you ever find a crochet hook/wool that size!?
