RAINBOWS! What wonderful things they are! Such a joy to see them! They are the reward for enduring miserable weather and of course, feature in many stories- Noah's story, The Wizard of Oz, Tiktok of Oz, various folk tales. What other ones can you name?
When I found this rainbow skirt in the Hexham Sue Ryder charity shop for £2.25, I was utterly enchanted. I did indeed feel like Joseph and his coat of many colours as I took it to pay for at the till! The pricing of items in that shop does confuse me sometimes! Some things are really overpriced and others, bargainous gems!
I decided to wear it for school on the first day of term with rainbow socks and my pencil brooch, plus my Tiger umbrella and so many staff members came and commented on it! I can never keep my mouth shut though- I gleefully overshared , "£2.25 from Sue Ryder!"
The pencil brooch, a present from the lovely Lily Fang at Imperfect Idealist and a crystal necklace reminiscent of the one I had as a child were the perfect finishers- in my not so impartial opinion!
And because umbrellas are fun to dance with- here I am!
Hugs and rainbows to you today!

What a fun girl you are. Everyone love a rainbow...I really was expecting you to dance with that umbrella, though...lol. I saw the umbrella spinning but... you didn't dance but it was a cute little video anyway.

"Finnigan's Rainbow" starring Petula Clarke and Fred Astaire!! Love your rainbow outfit and dance at the end xx
ReplyDeleteThat skirt is increadible- what a find!
ReplyDeleteLovely skirt, I'm not surprised you snapped it up. Perfect for you.
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of DH Lawrence's The Rainbow!
ReplyDeleteThat skirt is fabulous and what a great price, too! I don't understand the pricing structure of charity shops either, my unworn Topshop boots cost less than a mediocre headscarf....madness! xxx
I'm in love with that umbrella - your skirt is really cute too. I can never keep my mouth shut when I get good charity shop bargains - I found a fabulous coral coloured Next coat, tag still on it, along with a pair of Red or Dead boots of the same colour in a charity shop in Scotland - they bring me so many lovely comments and I can never resist telling people - great bargain in a charity shop!!!!
ReplyDeleteAaah, you look stunning! I do love a rainbow.
ReplyDeleteThere's a Cecelia Ahern book called "Where Rainbows End". It doesn't feature any actual rainbows though.
Cute skirt and how odd, a parasol features in a video on my post today! Great minds, eh? xxx
ReplyDeleteAdorable! I love this. Do we need to wonder why you are my favorite blogger?!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous skirt, Kezzie, and so you! The pencil brooch is perfect with it. No wonder you got so many lovely comments. Oh, and I can never resist telling people I got things at the charity shop! xxx
ReplyDeleteHow lovely - all the bright colours really suit you Kezzie! This post made me smile!

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful find.

Charming as usual!! <3
ReplyDeleteYou're a good umbrella twirler!
ReplyDeleteThat was cute doggie barking! :) But I must confess, I was hoping to hear your voice because I do love to hear a British accent. Cute skirt! Like you, I always tend to brag about finding lovely outfits at the local thrift. Often when people compliment my outfit, I can say, "It ALL came from the hospice thrift store!" My favorite store.
ReplyDeleteThat is one cheery skirt! And I love the umbrella too. Like others above I can't resist boasting about my finds. The best one was this summer - a lovely blue and white cotton top in Guildford for 2,99. I love it!
ReplyDeleteOh I love all of the rainbows! That's such a beautiful skirt, and what a bargain! It is absolutely perfect with the socks and umbrella too - I can see you getting a lot of wear from this as it will go with so many different colours! :)
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a great weekend :)

Such a cheerful item, and look perfect on you!
ReplyDeleteLove your rainbow skirt and umbrella Kezzie, hope your are well lovely xx
ReplyDeleteYour skirt is so cute! I love all of the colours :) xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful rainbow lady! I wish my teachers dressed like you when I was at school!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful and so cheerful, lovely skirt and umbrella, I think I would want to dance with that too:)
ReplyDeletehaha, I do that too, I can't help but tell people if I've found a charity shop bargain. Pricing seems to be haphazard where ever you go, you wouldn't think it would be that difficult, but there you go. This skirt is a great find, and I adore that brolly!
