I love blue. I mean, duh, but seriously: I. LOVE. Blue. So of course I love this outfit — so much. It’s just straight up blue. And there are florals involved. Prepare yourselves for a bazillion photos.

It’s a head-to-toe pre-loved situation. The top and shoes are from consignment, and I tracked down the matching skirt on eBay. (Let me pause here for a second to say that these blue J. Crew pumps have been one of my best shoe purchases ever. So, so versatile.) The cardigan is by UK brand Nougat, and a recent thrift find. English peeps: is Nougat still a thing on your side of the pond? I still see pieces here on consignment stores from time to time, and it’s always priced along with mid-range labels, but it’s not very well known here otherwise. Last but not least, my ebayed YSL Muse II in all its matchy teal glory, still looking sharp.

  1. It is still a thing yes, I’ve never purchased anything from Nougat but it is sold in department stores over here such as House of Fraser. I can’t work out if they have a standalone shop or not though!

    • It’s fascinating to me that Nougat stuff is still more prevalent in the secondhand market over here than Boden. Only recently have I started seeing Boden pieces …

  2. Love, love you in blue. I can see why you love it, it is your perfect colour. Good for finding the matching skirt to that top. Have a wonderful day. Cheers, Michele
