Today I decided to dig out two things I rarely wear - an ivory Talbots cashmere boyfriend cardigan and a similar coloured top from Monoprix in Paris that I picked up last summer.
I don't know why I don't wear ivory; I guess I think it washes me out unless I have on bright red lipstick, so that is what I did....
and I wore the leopard print kikis:
Yay or Nay on Ivory and Wendy?
I have been thinking about ivory hues lately, perhaps it was the lovely post that Jennifer did about decorating her house in soothing tones in her blog A Well Styled Life. In her case it was white, and I can't be the only one who thought they could live happily in her bathroom:
This afternoon I was out running errands and stopped in at our local Winners (equivalent of TJ Maxx) and drooled over the lovelies they are putting out for Christmas. Four little items caught my eye - I thought they would look divine in my Paris-inspired kitchen or in the toile bathroom downstairs or else bunched together on the dining room table...
And I can't decide if this little fellow will be used as a decoration or a gift box.... Hmmmm
Ivory can be such a soothing colour and I chose it for the upper cupboards in my kitchen rather than pure white, as I felt it went better with the rest of my décor (which is mostly antiques and colour!)
I find myself pinning creamy hues all over the place these days on Pinterest:
Christmas Mantles:
Creamy frostings:
Packages!
Charming Hats:
I am even loving my food in creamy hues: cauliflower, turnip, squashes, parsnip...
Ah but to quote our Scarlett, tomorrow is another day and there will colours a-plenty!
Are you channelling your inner white light?
Until then, let's have a calming concoction, shall we?
How about an Andy's Ivory - a tad sweet perhaps, so put out the bowl of pretzels (no nuts for me!)
