This outfit is killing me! Every little part! Especially those shorts- those are ridiculously awesome. Is your lipstick called Siren? I just got that not too long ago and it’s the same orange-y shade and goes amazingly well with everything- it’s surprisingly way more wearable than I had thought it would be.

No, it’s called Orange Flip. But now I’ll look for Siren! Yeah, I’m really excited about orange lipstick these days. I want to try and get into pink too.

There are so many amazing elements to this outfit– that cape! the printed shorts! A lovely winter/spring transition outfit. Now I want to find a little tilt hat for myself.

The cape is devine! But it all is- you’re right the colours are just super!
I also love that word ‘chartreuse’. When I was little I asked my nan what it meant and she said ‘it’s what you call a frock if it’s dried-pea-green’ which is true but takes a little of the romance away!

@Leilani Yes! I agree it’s a really good winter/spring transition outfit. And as for tilt hats, you could always make one! I’ve been wanting to make my own hats for a while now.
@perdita Thank you! That’s hilarious. Dried-pea-green really does take the glamour away. EEEEWWWW!
@Nicole Thanks to you!!!! You promised a matching top, remember ; ) Let’s hang out soon.
