Who said I’m a colourless dresser? Sometimes I do don brights. And when one has made the decision to go cheerful, well one may as well go overboard, no? Well, to fully compensate for all the neutral days in between, that is. As in, when I cast my eye back over the days here in which I have made the effort to take a photo they roll past neutral, colourless, quietly tasteful, a bit dull, then all of a sudden, whammy! A bright day. So today is one of those days. A makeup day.
Did some more final Christmas shopping today. You know, you think you’ve finished, a full range of prezzies for all in our fambly’s lives has been purchased and/or made and tucked away in secret hiding places about the house… then all of a sudden you remember some more people. You know, peripheral people, that are not a huge part, but still there, and you would feel bad if you didn’t get them a little something. So off I toddled, back to the shoppies yet again, and braved the crowds. Although the crowds were still orderly and manageable. I didn’t come home exhausted and barely able to cope with taking my shoes off before collapsing on the sofa, a usual symptom of Christmas shopping… so I guess dressing to boost my self-confidence must be working some! Right?
Now today is my husband’s birthday. So we are having a quiet family celebration this evening and I am baking a decadently rich and stodgy chocolate cake for afters… just because we, er, haven’t been having enough chocolate in our lives lately?
Haha.

I love you in all that color. I am surprised how your hair matches your skirt! I never noticed the vivid color of your hair before. Very nice.
great colors, your hair really look more vivid!
I like your summer looks over the past week! GREAT!

Happy Birthday Husbie!
Cool as a cucumber in all your vibrancy! BTW, I have been listening to ABC local radio – and during the holidays they go National – on the evening show this week – they have been playing a series called StoryCatcher – they are stories of everyday people retelling parts of their life and they are all set in WA. And I thought of you! Anyway, it's been a fascinating series – look them up if you haven't already heard of them.
Beautiful clothes and beautiful colors. Congratulations.

These colours look fabulous on you. Neutrals are all fine and dandy, but every so often one really does crave some colour.
Ah! Just what I needed on this dark, cold & dreary day. You look wonderful in those colours. Thank you for bringing a bit of sunshine and warmth to my day.

This is one of my favorite combination of colors.

Happy birthday to your fella. Enjoy that cake!
Happy birthday to mr. Craig. Those december birthdays really add to the business of the season !!
I'm just tired of going out. So whatever presents people have, they have. I'm done. Except for maybe a trip to the fabric store with all the fantastic pre christmas coupons, you know… I love your colorful outfit, and the rope necklace making a reappearance!
