Colours...
I am inviting colour to play a bigger role in my life...
It has been a major player in my diet
Bright Foods make up the bulk of what I choose to eat...
The J. Peterman catalogue arrived in the post
the cover shouted colour
and had me lusting after something bright.
Brights
are a smidgen left
of my comfort zone
After a heart to heart with my inner voice
(the conservative one)
I
decided
why not?
What transpired was an expedition
and excursion
an exercise
in
exploration
and
dialogue
with the assistance of the gorgeous gals at the makeup counter
and
the savvy and svelte sales clerks at the shops
To get started
2 new eye shadows
a soft mauve-y pink
and a darker accent colour in a taupe- y brown
Dust the lid with the lighter shade using a sable brush
and in the outer 1/3 of the lid and a little above the natural crease
dust with the accent colour
blend well to soften
it creates depth
and makes the eyes
stand out
Pepper
feline photographic assistant
very photogenic
when she sits still long enough for me to capture her image.
Prints charming
wooed me
but I had to get beyond the colours and put this garment on
I have trouble finding dresses that suit my figure
separates are much friendlier.
OK
the shape flatters
wrap tops are kind
and very forgiving
and I seek them out
the fabric has body
and substance
woven
more like a knit
and
skims the middle bits
with a dark navy lining
hooray
no need for a slip
it has a full flirty girl skirt
feminine and fun
I twirled in the fitting room
I bought the dress
Amber
terra cotta
black
cream
and splodges of a tealy blue
Shiny black patent belt
came with the dress
I am thinking that I will go a thrifting for a brighter belt
maybe in the amber shade
I can see this with denim jacket and strappy sandals
or
a pashmina and kitten heels
I visualize this dress going for lunch
for dinner
to the theatre
and
shopping
it's packable too
so
I'll be taking it away with me!
Pepper on a break
New toothpaste from the Health Food Store
is a Canadian company
with an interesting selection of flavours
this one sounded worth trying
and I LOVE the colour!
after all this colour chatter
a confession...
the conservative voice spoke loudly...
I ordered 2 WHITE Tees from the J. Peterman catalogue!
