This is a blouse that survives the wardrobe purges but I don't wear a lot.
Is it too dark for me or OK?
Worn with navy trouser suit with slimmer legs.
Lighting terrible as it was getting dark by the time I got home from work.
Chunky amber necklace and amber earrings.
The print is quite small scale (too small for me?). It contains navy, rust, coral, medium brown, dark brown, camel and off white which are all in my palette.

Day 22: Wear a gift
Wear a gift - lovely starfish earrings from http://www.flukejewellery.com/ - from DBF.
Maybe an outer column would look better.

Day 17: Wear an Everyday outfit
Charcoal trousers, grey tweed jacket and red cowl neck top - I think the red needs to be a bit more muted.

Day 16: Wear a hat
This is a Tilley hat (http://www.tilley.com). To be honest this looks a lot better when I am wearing my hiking/travel clothing than with a work casual look. Hmmmm.
Here is the Tilley Hat with secret pocket. Technically this is DBF's hat but he got another one and I sort of acquired this one.

Day 15: Statement Ring
I've not worn any rings since I stopped wearing my wedding ring when I was getting a divorce nearly 5 years ago, so this has been an interesting one. I bought the dress ring on sale for the challenge.
Day 14: Wear coloured shoes
These are some soft burgundy leather brogues worn with a navy trouser
suit and pink and navy striped blouse. A fairly typical work outfit.

Day 13: Change your hair
For this I'll just show the the changes I made following Kate's advice.
With original straight scross fringe.
Started growing fringe out and parting it to give longer face, but mostly pulled back into ponytail!
Now cut to shoulder length and with some layers added.

Day 11: Double necklaces
Double necklaces: Actually I am wearing 2 of the same bead and chain necklaces, doubled over and hanging at different lengths as 4 strands and another one in similar colours on a ribbon. The red ornage is another favourite colour of mine. The suit is a brown tweed made from dark brown, ivory and orange woven together with orange topstitching and brown velvet trim.

Day 10: Arm Candy
Chunky bracelet worn with blued teal cowl neck top, dark brown trousers, pebbles
necklace and chunky turquoise coloured bracelet I
notice that although this colour bringsout my green eyes it also casts
dark shadows on my chin and neck. Hmmmm. I wonder if Green Teal does the same.

Day 9: Wear Blue
Blue keans, blue jumper and shirt collar to avoid it being too dark around my face.
Without the jumper, shirt tucked in to jeans.
Shirt untucked.

Day 7: Mix Textures
Chartreuse jacketwith black zipped pockets (Debenhams)

Boots are stretch kitten heel and very uncomfortable so they are getting donated!
Maybe I need to stand on paving as I am sinking into the grass.
