Colour Me Mine

I've been so sick these past two weeks that I've been house bound whilst coughing and sneezing and feeling downright lousy. So I've managed to hoard a bunch of images that have given me a little inspiration while I wait to recover.

I used to think I was a colourful girl with a wardrobe that exhibited colours of the rainbow, but now that I actually try and curate my clothes... that is sadly not the case. In retrospect, it's slightly strange because as an arts student I was always about the colour - I never painted a work that was purely black and white. Yet, my wardrobe is so neutral! Blacks, beiges, looots of white and my supposed subconscious colour of choice, green.

So here's to hoping these colourful images will strike some dormant technicoloured nerve and really go out there and get myself more varied clothes! In my defence, as the colour blocking-neon trend has been everywhere, I've gladly added oranges, fuschias, blues and purples to my growing collection ;)

Nevertheless, how could anyone resist these neutral beauties? You can't go wrong with something as sublime as this!

So what kind of girl are you? One of colour or one who's neutral?
