Riot Of Colour

My new crochet cardi has been that statement piece my wardrobe was needing. It makes my favourite clothes look enhanced and encourages me to wear more colour (if possible). I'm seriously considering to crochet another one!.

Esta nueva chaqueta de ganchillo ha sido como la pieza que me faltaba en el armario, hace que mi ropa favorita destaque más, y me ha dado un empujón para ponerme (aún) más color. Así que ahora estoy pensando en tejer alguna otra!.
Massive flower skirt was made of a second hand dress (removed its wonky shirred top). Crochet cardi based (freely!) on a pattern by Katie Jones. Coat by Seasalt. Second hand shirt. Sneakers by Reebok outlet. Usual cork bag by Fine Cork Portugal.

La falda de la flor enorme era originalmente un vestido de segunda mano con top elástico (que quité). Chaqueta de ganchillo siguiendo (más o menos) un patrón de Katie Jones. Abrigo de Seasalt. Camisa de segunda mano. Zapatillas de Reebok (outlet). El habitual bolso de corcho de Fine Cork Portugal.
Repeat offender again, I've worn same skirt two days in a row, morning and evening. So that's a lot of times actually. I went for a walk and ran errands wearing my massive flower skirt, a second hand orange cardi, self-sewed blouse and a second hand denim jacket (recently acquired at Sunday street market). Bag by Eme, local designer.

Reincidente de nuevo, me puse la misma falda dos días seguidos, mañana y tarde. Un montón de veces, en realidad. Salí a hacer unos recados con esta falda, una chaquetita de punto de segunda mano, una blusa cosida por mí, y esta chaqueta denim también de segunda mano, recientemente adquirida en el mercadillo del domingo. Bolso de diseño local de Eme.
Next day I wore darker colours for a change. My jungle trousers were sewed by me years ago. Second hand green pullover. Crochet waistcoat made by my mom ages ago and given to me. Jacket by Seasalt. Sneakers by Adidas outlet. It was a comfy outfit, perfect for a walk.

Al día siguiente me puse colores más oscuros, para cambiar. Los pantalones de estampado jungla los hice yo misma hace años. Jersey verde de segunda mano. Chaleco de ganchillo que hizo mi madre hace siglos y me regaló. Chaqueta de Seasalt. Zapatillas Adidas outlet. Todo perfecto para caminar con comodidad.
Purple galore to go to work!. Those trousers were sewed by me using a massive sarong (not perfectly made, but good enough). Second hand top. Jacket came from eBay (second hand, obviously) years ago. Sneakers by Nike outlet. Scarf was charity shopped.

Púrpura a montones para animar un día de trabajo. Estos pantalones los cosí a partir de un pareo de playa (no están perfectamente hechos, pero aceptables). Camiseta de segunda mano. La chaqueta la compré en eBay (de segunda mano, claro) hace años ya. Zapatillas Nike outlet. Pañuelo de Cáritas.


Have a fabulous week!

  2. Your massive flower skirt is one of my favourites of yours, but it's even more a sight for sore eyes worn with that magnificent crochet cardi! I'm not surprised it's proving to be such a statement piece for your wardrobe!
    I'm also loving the new-to-you denim jacket - I'm on the lookout for a new-to-me one as well - and the jungle trousers outfit. And oh my, aren't you a vision in pink and purple in that final outfit. So good! Besos xxx

  3. That is a fantastic cardi, and it looks like it will go with so many things. It looks great with the massive flower skirt.

    Horse chestnut flowers! They're so pretty, and so many people seem to ignore them, but I always think they look like tiny orchid flowers.
