Reader's style challenge - Cent Plis de Miao plus color

It's been longer than I thought, but finally got back to normal. Having been quite pale most of last week, Frances' style challenge for a colorful post could not have been a more uplifting inspiration:
If I may be so bold as to submit a request of my own: I would love to see the Cent Plis des Miao deployed with colour. You've already done an amazing shoulder wrap-with-white top combination. I'm wondering how it would look with a bright top.
As I do not have many bright tops, I was all the happier to find that my turquoise sweater worked perfectly, and it was also perfect for today's warm and sunny day and cloudless sky. Many thanks for the lovely challenge, dear Frances!

A warm and heartfelt thank you also to those who sent get well wishes during the last week. I have been very touched by your sweet support, and today wearing my scarf in a friendship knot to say merci x

Capsule pieces: checked trousers and turquoise sweater

No post today

As much as I wanted to post today (even yesterday in fact), it is just not going to happen. The weather is perfect and the light beautiful, and I would have loved to bring out my scarves to play. Instead, I am trying to get rid of an unpleasant virus with flu like symptoms. I am much better already, so hopefully all will be back to normal soon. In the meantime, hope you'll enjoy the wintery olive grove scene I snapped on a walk a couple of weeks ago. Have a wonderful weekend everyone xx
