In the 60s I made my own tie-dyed T-shirt. I thought tie-dyed clothes were very cool and artistic, mixing colours like an abstract painting.
I bought this outfit a few years ago and I usually wear it once a year. It’s great for dancing and garden parties. Blending turquoise and amber is a beautiful combination and I have a collection of turquoise and amber jewellery to choose from.

this is a necklace I sometimes wear with this outfit
bracelet I am wearing
turquoise bracelets to choose from – sometimes I wear an arm party!
The beauty of the lilacs are a feast for the eyes, and the sweet fragrance delights the senses. Just breathe …
Summer will soon be here and you know what that means? We’re halfway to Christmas!

I was around for the original tie dye too. I love it! Especially when it has purple in it! 😉
Turquoise and amber is such a cheerful combo!

Wow! What a great explosion of colours, Carmen! You should wear the dress more than just once a year! It suits your slim figure so well!
I have never matched turquoise to yellow…but it is wonderful!!

I’m officially scared now that you’ve said we will be halfway to Christmas. Not cool.

Beauty, elegance and poetry, a wonderful combination. A beautiful combination of colors, flowers and scents. The flowers are very nice, the lilacs are especially beautiful. And you, you look wonderful mixtures in the garden, you complement it, and you highlight. I love the shirt and skirt, with this style as flower power, elegant and casual at the same time. The movement and the volume of the skirt along with the subtle delicacy of your dance, is a wonderful combination. I guess jewels are beautiful and delicate, but in the pictures are not well appreciated. Beauty, elegance, poetry and… your smile, the best picture of spring.

Thank you so much my dear Josep-Maria! The layered ruffles of the skirt makes me feel like a Spanish dancer. Spring is my favourite season with beautiful blossoms and flowers, and the weather is pleasant, not hot and humid as summer will bring soon.
Sending warm wishes of sunshine to brighten your weekend!

Dear Carmen, I just saw you completed your post with some pictures of jewelry. Thank you very much, I love them, they are beautiful. The turquoise color is very beautiful to stones for bracelets and pendants. Amber is also wonderful. The design of all the pieces is gorgeous and perfect for your look. I bought a long time ago, a similar bracelets in Store Sundance Festival, hosted by Robert Redford. Today I looked at them, and they to are no longer there, it is a pity. Where you bought these beautiful pieces?
