Peachy coral silk top - 50cents op-shop
Black washed silk skirt - $7.50 Myer clearance rack
Elke Kramer Skylark necklace - $50 sample sale
Sportsgirl tan/snake leather sandals - $24 on sale
I know I said no more sandals, but these ones snuck in somehow (and maybe another pair too). Oops!
Peachy colours are my favourite.
This is a very big call for me to make, but it is decidedly so. The whole spectrum, from palest nude to fluorescent coral makes me happy, happy, happy. It is no coincidence that my wedding dress was pale peach - and that my big bridezilla (loathsome but sadly apt term) moment was when the peach flavoured personalised candy (I know, I know - but it was so ridiculous and cute I couldn't resist) turned out the colour of urine instead of well, peach. Poor candy maker guy had to make a whole new sackful in the right non-uriney shade, matched to a silk scarf I provided as a colour reference. Because if there's one thing I am, it's very well supplied with peachy scarves:
After I took these photos I found another three or four scarves from the peach family - it's like the endlessly multiplying tan bag fiasco all over again (and let's not speak of the ever-expanding sandal army)!
This top is pretty but (especially if ironed) it's quite feminine and ladylike in a slightly fussy old lady kind of way. Sometimes I'm in that sort of mood, but since I'm not today I think the black helps give it a bit of edge. Actually I like all peachy/nude shades with black - it's one of the sexiest combinations in my very slim book of sexy colour combinations.
Do you have a favourite colour (or family of colours) which you cannot resist? Is there a shade which catches your eye time and again, or is your never-fail secret weapon?

PS. I'm flying off for the wedding today, with bluebirds and orchids both packed in my bag - I'm going to wait til the last minute to make a decision, because I think that my mood on the day is going to be the only deciding factor I can find between them!
PPS. You know, I think this book probably helped push me down the peachy path...

Gorgeous top! In answer to your question for me it's blue, specifically either turquoise-ish blue or a rich vibrant blue, like the colour of your spiky bluebirds (which I heart muchly!!) And I too am a big fan of scarves though mine are mostly sequinned and bejewelled which is my other obsession!
I love blue - all kinds, and white and green, and red and navy, actually i really like a lot of colours!! You look great in peach - which is probably a good thing considering you love it so much :) Have a great time at the wedding!
I think that book is every child's favorite at one time or another.
You look so fetching in peach, it's no wonder you love it so much.
I don't have one favorite color. I gravitate toward gray and brown these days, though. Does that count?
Have fun at the wedding, and please take photos of your final fascinator festoonery!
you look peach with the peach tops. Lovely.
Now some picture report for the wedding is in order!
Hi there-have a fantastic time my dear! I adore brights, red, orange and also white too.
peach is one of the best colours in the rainbow, and it suits you perfectly.
i'm glad you made the candyman remake your peach candy!

I really like those shoes skye. great find.
Your scarves look so gorgeous and i don't normally like peach!
I am reading James and the Giant Peach to my son at the moment - he loves it.
Beautiful top! I love the peachy colours.
The Giant Peach is a total classic. I loved it, too, back in the day.
Peachy shades look glorious on you, so no wonder you're drawn to them. I'm a red girl, myself. Bright, angry, lipstick reds and also magenta, hot pink, and red-purples.
That candy story is funny. Peach looks wonderful on you.
I tend to love Blue for Shoes. But I am a magenta/red/pink for clothes and bedrooms.
I used to be drawn to deep blue/green but I have gone off it lately.
Black is my eternal favourite though.
The toes again! You know I can't concentrate when your toes are out!
Peach is one of those colors that can do great things for those of us with a certain complexion. I've never been one to wear much makeup, but a little peach blush has always been a staple for me.
The top looks great on you. I like its slouchiness, I think it keeps it from looking at all fussy.
For awhile, I was all about the oceanic blue/green combo but these days I'm leaning more toward grays, browns, and creams.
Enjoy the wedding, I love those blue birds in your hair! Also, I have a little blog award for you over at my blog :)
I love all your peachy scarves - they look so delicious. My favourite colours are so all over the place but I constantly return to green and purple.
Woooow sweety, you look ever so gorgeous!!! <3
I love that top especially...i am in love since quite some time with that colour palette....beautiful.
I hope you and your beautiful boy are doing great!
<3

I love your top! Peach is definitely one of my favourite colours. I went through a phase when I kept buying pink and peach stuff. I'm still drawn to them, just not as much. Nowadays I can't resist a bit of bright red.
Oh, and that's such a great book! Roald Dahl was a genius.
That outfit is so cute!
Peach -- what a lovely color on you. It is rather hard to come by these days, isn't it? I always go for things in that hard to define margin between grey and blue.... "Smoky topaz", or "slate", I guess?
BTW, I tagged you on the "6 Random Things" meme on my blog. :)
Lovely peachy colours! Mine has to be without a doubt blue. Any of the deep blue colour family - cobalt, midnight, navy, royal, etc.
Hope yo have a lovely time at the wedding! Looking fwd to seeing which lovely headpiece you chose!
I have a few favorite colors, but gray is my favorite. Gray and then a bunch of obnoxiously bright colors. :) Purple, cobalt, teal, yellow, orange, fuschia...
