Wearing Colour - Violet

As promised, Violet. This is the last photo for my wearing colour week.

My phone seems to have gotten out of bed on the wrong side this morning - it's refusing to take any more photos and really I don't want to play around with it.

This week was fun and so many people took notice. That's not why I did it of course but compliments are nice.

Wearing Colour - Green

What a day - I'm brain dead.

Dress - Asos - I shortened the sleeves and took in the sides.
Necklace - Rockmans

Come on long weekend.

I have a cat that loves me.

Wearing Colour - Yellow

Yellow - it's the one colour I just don't wear.  I'm trying hard this year because I do like neon and lemon yellow.

I saw these pants at Rockmans, tried them on not thinking that they would fit - they did.  I would call these a bright mustard - there is a bit of green there not helped with my photography - but everyone that said something about them today said that they were yellow.

In fact, quite a lot of people said something about my outfit today - good things.  Although a few kids commented on the fact that I was wearing yellow instead of green - seeing as though I am in the green sports team at school.

Before 10 am.

 

 Up to about 2pm.

    

Now.

Most of my students are now onto the fact that I am wearing different colours this week.  

They know it's green tomorrow - can I handle the pressure of all the expectations?

Aussie Curves - Spike

 Today is also my red day in my wearing colours challenge.  Yesterday I wore violet but because it was such a long day I didn't get any photos - I'll have to recreate on the weekend.

I started off this morning wearing 4 layers. Black cami, red top, grey cardi and the dotted jacket. By the end of the day I was down to two - and I only needed to wear the cami prevent my students from seeing my boob slot.

Cami - Target

Red top - Big W

Cardi - Big W (not seen because I actually left it on the back of my chair at work)

Jacket - Autograph

Pants - Autograph

Shoes - Rubi

Did you see the cat photo-bomb?  

This outfit was all about the accessories - all from Big W.

 

The following photo shows you that I have a problem. 

 

See them? They are my back up shoes.

I love these shoes so much - that I bought spares that live in a cupboard - just - in - case.

I do this all the time.

NB: they have spikes on them.

Part of me really wanted to dress up like Spike Thompson from Press Gang for this week's challenge - considering he was one of my favourite TV crushes at the time.  I think I will just re-watch the series again on the long weekend while I do some sewing.

Wearing Colour - Blue

As I walked to my first class of the day a student exclaimed, 'Miss, you're wearing my colour! Blue!'

 I'm glad she verified which colour because although it's blue day - I am wearing a fair bit of yellow and green too.

Green Cardigan - Rockmans

Blue top - Reebok

Yellow Camisole - Target

Shoes - Rubi

This was a shot from the first time I wore this top - I've included it just to show the band and the print.  This top gets so many compliments.

 

Also tried on someone else's new glasses - I really like this shape.  Then I realised that they were Ray Bands, and I was like - yep, that's why.  I can't wait to get some new frames. 

Oh yeah, that's the wall behind my desk at work.  See those white baskets? I have one for each subject that I teach. Planning and everything else that I need to teach that class for the week goes in there, so all I have to do it grab the correct basket each lesson.

Can you see that thing on the top shelf of the book case? That's my birthday crown.  Anyone in my form class that has a birthday during the school week has to wear it for the day.

Wearing Colour - Orange

Orange and pink are a great match, well I think so.

I was planning on wearing stripes but swapped it with a new top I bought this week - love me some dots. The cardi is also new.

When we were coming home from camp we spend an hour and a half in Emerald shopping. Speed shopping!

Wearing Colour

I love colour. Certainly not afraid to mix it up. Coral and Maroon together. Blue and green together. Purple and pink together.

I read a few weeks ago an online article about mixing up your wardrobe - and one suggestion by some fashion author is to wear one colour of the rainbow each day.

I don't think that it would be too much of an issue.

Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet 

I think my colour holes are orange and indigo, but hold the phone - whoa the phone just started ringing when I typed that - I think I'm wearing an indigo top right now.  And I do have a pair of 'bright orange' jeggings and a coral maxi skirt.

So okay, I think I'm set. 

Wearing colour for the next 7 days!!!

P.S.

I bought myself a Tatty Devine dinosaur necklace today. The giant black dinos were all sold out, so I went with the giant gold one instead. As hubby said, if I wear it against a dark/black top or dress it wouldn't stand out - and thus a waste of $220 Aus.

I was almost shaking when I pressed the add to cart button.

There are some knock off on eBay that tempted me, but seriously I wouldn't be able to wear it without feeling guilty - plus they aren't a HUGE!
