What To Wear To A Summer Barbecue - Canary and Black

Hello and welcome to The Cooking Wardrobe.  Hope your week has started well.  Mine has been very busy, in fact I feel as if I have been on my feet the whole weekend yet I can't pinpoint what I have actually done.  When there is an active inquisitive eight year old in the house who is after you around the house asking questions as you try to do the chores, one becomes tired just answering questions.  

Any hoo, I wore this outfit to a barbecue last weekend.  When I put the outfit together, hubby thought it was too bright.  He said you know you are going to stand out in the crowd right? His next sentence was "this is actually a somewhat stylish high visibility clothing".  Seriously, that man talks before looking at my face because he knows he will get the "evil eye".  We are still married, he is still alive and well and his punishment is to take my photos in any outfit I put together, whether he likes it or not. haha.  

Its your turn to tell me what you think about the outfit darlings in the comments box.  Be honest but be kind okay? haha. I truly appreciate the time and effort taken to visit and read my blog, by leaving a comment I know you were here and I do return visits.  

Have a lovely and blessed week!!!

  3. Hubby is bonkers! This outfit is adorable and sexy at the same time and so you! I would be afraid of gettting BBQ sauce on it, but that's just me. I'm sure you are less clumsy. xo

  8. Hi Elsie, nice to meet you too!
    I find it lovely to connect with some Australian bloggers now that I wil be here for a while. :)
    How lovely was the cooling rain earlier?! I really enjoyed it and despite the muggy weather I enjoy my stay in Perth very much in general.

    You look so pretty in yellow, this outfit really suits you! And may I say I wouldn't believe you are 40+ at all if you hadn't mentioned it somewhere above! You look like you're my age (I'm 28)! Good genes lady! :)

  15. Oh, this is a stunning look! Yellow looks fantastic on you...or you look fantastic in yellow, whatever way, I think this colour is made for you. And what bad is about standing out in a crowd? And honestly, such a beauty like you will always stand out, no matter what you wear.

  17. How pretty is that combination on you, Elsie! Every inch perfection. The variety in the not too huge necklaces look so fresh against the yellow. You are a tall girl, aren't you! Impressive always, and I am determined now to get some blocky heeled sandals this spring ... early days here yet, but I want some blue sandals now! Interesting for me to see the proportions on these heels ... back in the day, ours fell mostly between today's low and very high ... wildly comfortable and grounded. A pleasure to see the shape return!
