The online auction ad said "silk scarf, purple and grey stripes." Which didn't sound all that spring-like. But she decided to take a chance on it anyway. (OK, technically, it's her birthday present, but she found it.)
And she waited a bit...
Finally it arrived.
How did they miss mentioning the cranberry stripes that go with the plum-coloured dress she just found?
And with her new sneakers?
And the grey-blue that somehow blends with teal?
And the cute little houndstooth pattern that you don't notice until you're up close?
Well, she's not complaining.
Socks from Dollarama
Yes, those are hedgehogs on the pink socks.
Brooch from flea market
Necklace and watch, gifts from husband
Bracelets from Fierce Lynx Designs
Clothes (mostly thrifted)
Plum-coloured swing dress and raspberry-pink linen cardigan
Oversized pink striped shirt. Long pink tank top (old).
The shirt with the cardigan
The tank top with the cardigan
Another t-shirt with the cardigan
And the dress with a lightweight, mostly-brown jacket she also found recently.
Grey wool-blend blouse, scarf (clip from her vintage stash)
Dark grey short-sleeved shirt
On the bottom? Three pairs of pants, not all in the best shape, but that's what she has right now
She also pulls out these print pants from last summer, along with a wine-coloured top.

I always enjoy your wardrobe posts. You are very creative putting outfits together and they are all very wearable. Love the owl tote bag and the colors blend with everything.
Thanks, Donna! The bag came from Dollarama, I thought it was fun though not necessarily a "sustainable" find (ditto the socks).
