What I Wore: Baby Shower
I love, love, love this dress, and I’m sad that I’m forced to ruin it with a cardigan every time I wear it. Let’s move on before this veers into a weather rant. Hey, looky, I’m wearing my Tinkerbell shoes again! And they’re still obnoxiously, wonderfully sparkly.
Also, teal. As a redhead, I feel like I should like (and wear) teal more than I do. (Conversely, I should love mustard yellow less than I do, but the heart wants what it wants.) Teal is like … broccoli. It’s probably good for me, but I will find every excuse to not have to eat wear it. Unless I feel guilty about a recent chocolate binge in which case … wait. What am I talking about again? Oh yes, teal. We have a like/mild indifference relationship.
I’m not indifferent about this necklace:
What colour is your broccoli?
[This post was brought to you by Adina’s stream-of-consciousness at some ungodly late hour. Insomnia is a terrible thing, friends.]
Apparently my broccoli is black. I should wear more of it because it looks good on me (?) but I don’t / won’t because it depresses me.
Saw the most amazing Philip Lim dress for $100 in a consignment shop and wouldn’t buy it because it was BLACK. *sigh*
Also, I really want that grey dress.. the draping is divine.
You can still find the grey dress on eBay! It comes in a few different colours/prints. I’ve been tempted to buy the purple version, but … restraint. I’m trying to learn about it.
I wear TOO much black. It’s a crutch for me, but I don’t think it actually does me many favours. I look kinda ghostly if I wear too much of it.
That dress is gorgeous!
I love teal. It stayed with me from the time I was a redhead.
My broccoli is red. I love red shoes, purses and hair. I can’t waer red shirts, pants, skirts or even dresses. I get angry, frustrated, sad, overall unhappy.
You know how I feel about red as an accent colour. (I love it.) But I can’t pull off head-to-toe red; I think it clashes with my skin tone or something.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen you as a redhead?!!! Damn, we could make a hot team!
Pink. My broccoli is pink. With Barbie-blonde hair (and a purple living room…), people seem to think I “should” like pink. I, on the other hand, am convinced that at least one level of hell is decorated entirely in Hello Kitty, and various complementary shades.
Hey now! Nothing wrong with a little Hello Kitty. Ahem.
I love pink, although I don’t seem to wear a lot of it. I have a bright pink bag I call my “Barbie purse” though; does that count? 😉
It’s a blonde thing. So hard to pull off without looking twee.
please show this dress w/out the sweater…it looks so good
Thanks! I think there is a picture of it in an earlier post (back in January), but I will take any excuse to wear it again 😉
As soon as the 30 x 30 challenge is over, keep an eye out for it.
