I liked it, even if it was a little odd because I made it up as I went.......wrong usually! First time I just stitched the purple broadcloth pieces together and I couldn't get into it so I found some garish quilting material and made pleated side panels and matching waist-band. I liked it, it was colourful and I love colourful (think Freddie Mercury, Shirley Strachan, Elton John...) but sadly almost everyone else was stuck for something nice to say about it. I suddenly decided yesterday, what the heck, I was going to wear it out anyway. So being me, instead of pairing it with plain top and shoes I created this outfit:
Yes I know, just laugh quietly will you?
We are forecast more warm weather this coming week but here are some pictures I took the week before last.
Below are some images of the three 'colourful' mentioned above, in some of their more interesting costumes.

Very a la mode - we must have clash, as every reader of InStyle magazine knows...
