Wearing mustard with relish (Fashion Challenge/FC)

I have mustard - I relish this colour! So I'm playing a little catsup with the Fashion Challenge: Fall Colour Trends hosted by Megan Mae and Keely. Bandmate/crazy-gal Sandra and I were hot-dogging on a rooftop where we caught this shot. I'm glad my buns are not showing! I don't think what I'm wearing is on trend but I do have these mustard tights. Everyone looks spe-ta-coo-lar (word of the day) in their autumn colours!



Here I am luxuriating in the vestibule of my closet
The items:
  • mohair pullover, thrifted
  • maxi dress, thrifted
  • mustard tights, sample sale
  • D&G animal print shoes, thrifted
  • necklaces, assorted
  • wool indigo beret, thrifted
  • fingerless gloves, upcycled from Canadian Tire automotive store
  • quilted cotton biker jacket, sample sale
On her blog Lens is More Sandra posted a little video, which also includes clips of both of us suffering from a lack of dignity during this art outing.
Isn't my closet vestibule spe-ta-coo-lar?!
Hope y'all can wring a few more marvellous moments from what remains of the week....

  1. I think that first photo is truly fashion forward! Wish I had a vestibule. Matter if fact, wish I had a closet instead of a cupboard and a floor - can you have a vestibule to a floor?

  5. I love your mustard tights and animal print shoes. Tights are a great way to add mustard to a look.

    I'm also loving your beret. I reckon that's bang on trend - I see Curtise has been rocking one too. I was never a big fan because I had to wear one for school, but I'm going to be keeping my eyes open for one now.

  8. Oh the condiment jokes are many and plentiful... I'll just get in a pickle if I join in.
    I saw the video over at Sandra's blog and had a right old chuckle, it's brilliant!

  10. Oh to have a closet vestibule. I adore the color mustard and the tights with animal print shoes leap off the screen. They go well with early morning coffee!

  11. Mustard is this season's colour even if I own maybe just a dress in it!It really suits every carnation and hair, I'm not an enthusiast by the way, but I have to admit that combined with the pale blue of your wonderful dress and a hint of leopard, it's astonishing!!

  13. Mustard does not exist in my colorful world, I just don't do autumn colors very well. You however look fab in this color combo. Everything about you pictures always look so artsy! Maybe it's just you, you are incredibly photogenic!

  15. Yay for mustard tights! And not just because I have some, too.

    Your closet looks exactly like I'd expect the editor of VOGOFF's to look. Looks like, ah, plenty of heavy duty vacuuming goes on in there :)

  30. Melanie, how is it that we have never met in person, yet we share so many similarities? I mean, I can't get over it, your closet... it is exactly the same size as mine!! And I have that same couch in my closet, the exact fabric! Uncanny... :-)
