Hot pink Willandra

I’ve whipped up a new pair of M&B Willandra Pants in Fine Cloth Company hot pink tencel because I fell in love with the pattern all over again when I took some photos in my ancient plum Willandra earlier in the month.

I’m wearing them above with pink lemonade linen which I made into a Waikerie Shirt with built-in breast pockets. This is the first time on the blog for these ballet flats- a shoe style that I felt pretty confident would never turn up in my wardrobe again. My Pinterest Fat Flat Shoe exploration got me thinking about ballet flat shape. These hot pink numbers slipped into my cart to experiment with pairing them with M&B patterns when taking sample photos for the website. I suspect you’ll see them pop up more.

Above, I was pleased to find that this tencel is a nice match for this candy apple linen and bubblegum pink linen (also from TFCC) Torrens Box Top. It’s a very bright combo, and it’s nice to find another pair of pants that I like this colourblocked top with (I keep almost getting rid of this top, and then I keep removing it from the ‘to go’ pile).

Below is a mocha linen hacked Waikerie Shirt which I have a really hard time pairing with shoes. No idea why- I guess the shade of brown is perhaps at odds with many of my brown shoes? It’s pretty classic Jess to have such stresses.

I printed out a new pattern to make these as my 58″ hip now puts me in M&B’s Size G. My Size F Willandra Pants still fit fine, but it’s nice to have the extra room especially through the rise. I’d love to try out a fancy dark brown or green Willandra next- maybe as office pants?
