Melinga-Kat

The Miss Candyfloss spring/summer 2025 pieces are starting to trickle in, but I have one more pairing from last year’s autumn/winter collection that has the perfect, bold, unexpected, color scheme for Mary Blair March!

I originally bought the Gillian-Kat trumpet skirt and Melinga-Kat bishop-sleeve blouse with the intention of wearing them together (along with a vest that sold out in my size before I could get it), but I ended up pairing each of them with other pieces in my wardrobe before I put them together!

Because it’s such a bold look, I kept my accessories, a star brooch from Erstwilder and a pair of Splendette Duchess Bangles, simple:

I love the bright colors of this outfit, and the combination of of mustard and teal is right out of Mary Blair’s style book!

Even though these are fall pieces, I think that between the lightweight material and color palette, it works well for early spring!

I’m looking forward to sharing a look from the new collection soon!

You’ve already seen my trumpet skirt from the Miss Candyfloss “Vintage GlamIcons” collection; now it’s time to take a look at the blouse I got to match (no, I haven’t worn them together yet!).

The Melinga-Kat blouse has bishop sleeves, wide cuffs, a rounded hemline, and the most colorful plaid pattern you can imagine for fall! I love the bold shades of teal and yellow, with pops of red and purple interspersed…it’s a bright and unexpected color palette for autumn!

I accessorized with a stack of glittery Splendette Duchess Bangles and an Erstwilder brooch, plus a hat in navy blue.

I decided to walk the line between seasons by pairing this blouse from the autumn/winter collection with a skort from the previous spring/summer collection, and I think it’s the perfect combination for a transitional time of year!
