Head to toe, turquoise

27/02/201015/12/2015 CarolynUncategorized7 Comments on Head to toe, turquoise

Turquoise.  Lashings of it.  This outfit brings back to me cerulean memories of Santorini and all its abundance of charm.  The vivid sea, the stark and yet rustic houses.  Most beautiful holiday, ever. (The extremely strong wind that we had…

Not a terribly exciting re-fashion this week, but I’m still pretty happy with the result.  Before; an old work shirt of my husband’s that he was tossing out.  Pro’s; it’s made of sturdy thick cotton knit with a lovely blue-marle…
