shine in tangerine

Not going to spam your computer screens with photos today as I usually do, so fear not capped ones! We wanted to capture a lovely golden pink sunset, to provide the perfect backdrop for my tangerine orange blouse and bronze sequinned shorts. The sun started descending a lot faster than we anticipated so we didn't come away with that many pictures. We're still happy though- quality trumps quantity :)

I'm glad I was able to wear out my new Chicwish blouse for a short while, before the freezing cold chases it away into the depths of my summer wardrobe. I love the slouchy, baggy fit with the batwing sleeves and large pockets, and the way it opens up so you can choose whatever singlet to peek out at the top. There's something about the vibrant tangerine shade and the bronze sparkles in the shorts that strongly reminds me of one of those humid, late summer nights. Obviously, I have practically zero understanding of the concept of winter.

Has anyone had that awkward moment when you realise your outfit looks better without stockings, and you take them off and after leaving them far, far behind you are struck with the sudden fear of exposing hairy legs on account of not having had to shave them for an extremely long time due to cold weather??

Despite the lengthy and detailed description it seems to have happened to me a few times before. I had stockings underneath the shorts for the whole day and right before photo-taking my boyfriend strongly recommended they be removed for the photos at least. I completely forgot that my legs were meant to be in winter hibernation, which was not to be disrupted without undergoing a rigorous shaving session and a healthy dose of sun tan. Fortunately and strangely enough, my legs were less pasty than expected and a wild forest could not be seen. Ironically, this is probably because I don't shave very often. Sighing with relief!
