"Oh are you dressing up as the Dalai Lama" the lady at the counter asks
Isn't colour association a wonderful thing?
Mustard yellow and dark red do indeed represent the colours of the Dalai Lama, but whilst I am not dressing up as His Holiness, I am dedicating this blog post to ethical, second-hand, and recycled fashion in His colours; Red and Yellow.

Red and yellow are solid colours, and probably not a classic choice for a fashion outfit. What do you think about combing clothing in red and yellow?

Great clothing that's come back to life! Everytime I look at the belt I want to buy a stick of gum :-)
Oh, I hope you show us your outfit after you finish. LOVE the yellow and red and YES, it can work together! Thank you for choosing my Charles Jourdan shoes to be included in this blog. Very enlightening! :)
Those are McDonalds colours, you know.
I wear red as often as I can, yellow, not so much... but don't have a problem with them when they look so great as that African skirt.
