What I Actually Wore #0094

I love to break such hackneyed rules as ‘blue and green should never be seen’, so on this balmy day I wear a boldly patterned navy and white blouse with a muted celadon green skirt. Although the temperature is mild, it is windy and overcast, threatening rain, so I wear a short vintage 50s silk jacket on top. 

The hat I am wearing is actually a 1920s straw cap, studded with pearls and trimmed with piped navy velvet, and would undoubtedly suit a bob better, but I fasten my hair back in a looped ponytail and clip it with a vintage diamanté and tortoiseshell clasp. I add a pair of turquoise-coloured agate drop earrings, and my turquoise ring from Spain.

My trusty snakeskin heels add a dash of anti-matching pizzazz – anymore turquoise or navy would be have been dull.
