On Wednesday I was feeling really down in the morning. I went for a run but I just felt terrible - tired legs, running nose, absolutely no stamina at all. It was the second bad run on the go - I was getting worried about losing track of my training. I was in dire need of being cheered up before going into work for my late shift at 1! So I had a quick browse on some blogs and Anna had posted about this wonderful lookbook, Alphaville, from an indie New Zealand designer, Papercup. It was love at first sight! The boufanted hair, the scalloped hemlines and of course that colour combination of red & yellow.

So I bounced back from my bad run, showered and dolled myself up in my best red & yellow ensemble. It has kept me quite cheery through a bad day actually. The colour yellow always cheers me up.
Totally fabulous outfit!

I kick myself every time I see you wearing that skirt, it's gorgeous. I love the lookbook, very cheery!
ReplyDeleteWell done for keeping up with your run, apparently it gets better (I wouldn't know, I haven't ran since I was about 10!).
Gosh, I just love all this colours in this outfit! And that bright and fantastic lookbook is filled with so many inspirational looks, too. Love the yellow, especially!

ReplyDeleteoh, this is one of the best oufits i've seen you in. you look lovely! the shade of your shoes and top are beautiful, the most perfect shade of yellow i think, almost mustard.
ReplyDeleteit's lovely when something little can cheer you up? of course it doesn't always work but when a picture, cup of tea or book changes your mood it really is great. i hope your next run goes a bit better! :)

hope you like it :)
Those outfits are adorable- lots of lovely bright colours. I like your take on them :) Don't worry about losing stamina- I've been jogging for years and I still feel like giving up mid-jog some days. But then other days I'll feel full of energy and manage to run my usual jogging route with ease. It just depends how you're feeling... and it helps to have someone else to jog with to keep you on track! ;)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the red and yellow combo. Cute
ReplyDeleteLove the red and yellow colour combo, you look great!
ReplyDeleteWhenever I'm feeling down I pop on my yellow coat from Next and it is impossible to feel sad anymore!
