Pop of colour
while wearing a cool grey sweater.
I use a gentle touch when it comes to cosmetics...
tinted CC cream, mascara and lipstick or lip gloss for daytime.
The lipstick is by Miss Pupa from Milan
Rossetto #503
New tweed knit pants in ankle length...
Hudson North
available at The Bay.
Versatile with my basic wardrobe in a grey black check.
The reason I went shopping for pants is because I recently culled my clothes.
Leaving only 3 pairs of pants...
Two pairs of jeans
(Eileen Fisher and Nicole Miller)
and a dressy pair of black pants.
(Eileen Fisher)
Just happened upon a dreamy soft wool and cashmere blend Italian made sweater.
It fits like a Tee top
perfect for layering under my black Eileen Fisher vest
or my Old Navy distressed denim jacket.
I added a felted woven grey and black scarf...
found at a thrift shop for an unbelievable price :-))
Warm and cozy and adds an interesting textural detail.
Adding interest with accessories when wearing basic neutral coloured garments
is a good habit to get into.
I like adding accessories so I don't look "mumsy"
being mindful that I exercise a modicum of restraint.
I daren't invite a citation from those sneaky Fashion Police.
Dressing over 65 can be full of pitfalls!!!
Friday Field Trip with the granddaughters...
~ Beautiful Butterfly ~
We took our granddaughters to the attraction
Butterfly World near Butchart Gardens.
There are some really interesting insect displays in cases...
ants, stick insects, spiders.
Through the double doors there is lush tropical open area
with
exotic birds, colourful butterflies, carp, flamingoes, frogs, and tortoises.
There was an open feeding tray with sliced citrus and banana skins.
We saw a few of these butterflies nibbling on the fruits when we entered
when we were leaving
each piece of fruits had one of these gorgeous butterflies feeding.
After our visit we drove to The White Spot for lunch...
it was quite busy and by the time our food arrived we were famished!
It doesn't feel like our usual October weather here in Victoria.
The weather has been dry and warmer than usual.
On the News tonight they mentioned that
this warm dry spell is about to change...
Cooler wetter weather is definitely on the horizon
the roses are still blooming but the rest of the garden is fading.
We need some serious rainfall and only a smattering of moisture has fallen so far.
I've been busy knitting the Rowan Toasty Slipover Vest...
a group of us met at a friends' home for a cuppa, chat and to knit.
Our hostess served a delicious Victoria Sponge Cake...
with a pot of incredibly tasty Mariage Freres Rose Royal Tea.
I am craving Rose Tea for my afternoon cuppa here in The Humble Bungalow!
All I need to do now is fly off to Paris and buy some...
A gal can dream...
Laundry needs to be done.
Dust bunnies need to be mopped.
Dinner needs to be prepped...
Until next time...
Thank you for stopping by The Humble Bungalow Blog.
