Outfit Post: Primary Colours

Blue jeans, red t-shirt and yellow jumper.

I read in another blog not long ago (which I now can't find!) about mustard yellow and red as a colour combination for an outfit. It inspired me to put this outfit together and I wore it to Sunday lunch with my boyfriend and his parents. It was quite outside of my comfort zone as I generally wear black and white, with some red if I'm feeling really adventurous! I did enjoy wearing this bright palette though and will definitely wear this again.


My handbag isn't really a handbag; it's an impostor. The label says "A Product of Thorn Automation Ltd." And on the the other side reads "the instruction manual for this equipment is enclosed in the carton" along with a serial number, who it was tested by and the date; which was 8th April 1981. I have literally no idea what it was originally for but it's completely unused and smells of brand new leather. I decided that the equipment it should now enclose is a lipstick and Stratton compact.


Since getting my hair cut it has been much easier to curl and this weekend it was like a dream; I was wondering around in a daze of good hair (hence vacant expression) not one but two days in a row. I clipped one side back with the flower I made the other day and attached to a hair clip.

For a look at how another blogger has teamed mustard and red "Mustard is my new red" by Solanah at Vixen Vintage is a lovely post.

T-shirt: Primark (or as I like to say "well known, low cost, high street brand"

P.S. Don't forget my Benefit They're Real! Mascara giveaway which closes on Thursday 1st March 2012!!

Hi Miss Rosie. Great first outfit post, I love your yellow sweater. I did my first outfit post last week, it was fun!

Ha, we are cardigan twins!

I bought the very same one, in the mustard and the cream colours as they were reduced to a fiver in the sale. I got a nice red one too. I always feel as though I never have enough cardigans although I'm not really sure why as I probably have more cardies than any other item of clothing!

Thanks Black Dahlia. It was quite fun doing this post, I'll check out yours in a bit.
Up Too Girl - Ha! So was mine. I needed a little persuasion to buy it but I'm so glad I did. And the same about the amount of cardies. In fact I've asked my boyfriend to go and fetch me another while I'm at work today!
