Well, that’s the colour of the sweater, autumn rose.
A little bit of sunshine means it’s mandatory to gt outside and get some photos. So the Fashion Mister and I drove out to Clunes to take advantage of some of the lovely old historic buildings as a back-drop for this photo-shoot before stopping at a cafe for lunch.
It’s a little modern, a little retro and all about the autumnal colours.
The Look: This look not only has layers but it also has layers of pieces from or inspired by different decades! At the core, 80s bronze coloured skinny pants – just a little disco. On top a vintage argyle sweater. It looks like it could be from any number of decades but the beading really made me think 40s. It’s probably far more recent than that but because I purchased it from my favourite op-shop, I’ll pretend it has been around a lot longer.
The Accessories: Continuing with the many decades theme, I have my red/burgundy 20s-40s style cloche hat. My 50s alligator skin handbag (my first Australian Vintage purchase from years ago), and my 50s inspired Diane Ferrari leopard print kitten-heel pumps.
With the shine and sparkle of the pants and the beading on the sweater, I really didn’t need a lot of jewelry so a few bangles and classic charm bracelet finish off the look.
I’m dying to know what you all think? Is it too much for a winter weekend? Has this autumn rose bloomed and faded?

Thanks Caroline,
When I was younger I insisted on colouring my hair and typically went for red which meant I couldn’t wear red but now that I am back to my natural dark brown I have found that red works pretty well for me. 🙂

They are so retro aren’t they?!
When I wear those shoes I always feel very lady-like but with a little sassy attitude. 🙂

Too much? Not at all! I especially love the pattern mix, and if autumn rose crosses the hemisphere I’ll definitely be picking up a few pieces in that shade. I think you look very well-polished in this outfit!

Thanks Kathleen!
Plenty of leg to work. 🙂
You don’t have to miss my posts, they are pretty regular. Until the other day I hadn’t missed a single day. I’m thinking about revising my posting schedule to 4 or 5 a week, because every day can be a bit full on. Haven’t fully decided yet and will likely ask my followers what days they can live without me. 😉
