#SNSColour Instagram Style Challenge
March 05, 2015I love a style challenge, even if they re-affirm the fact I have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO WEAR EVER.
When I saw this one by Style and Shenanigans pop up on Instagram, I thought it looked pretty do-able but it was a lot harder than I thought.
Sounds easy right?
Monday: Shades of Grey
I used to have loads of grey in my wardrobe, absolute loads. Charcoal was my best thing. Now? Very little.
 |
| Kmart tee Review skirt via eBay Diana Ferrari silver flats (ancient) |
Tuesday: Pastel Central
I don't work on Tuesdays and I was only slobbing about at home so I chose to do a flatlay for this one.
 |
| Vintage bag, TEMT shirt, Lovisa necklace, Breakers jeans E.L.F eyeshadow palette in "Butternut", MAC lip glaze and Converse hi-tops |
Wednesday: Jewel Tones
Another struggle because jewel tones remind me of my mid-90s Year 12 formal where almost everyone was in sapphire, ruby or emerald crepe spaghetti-strap dresses. (Me? I wore a black velvet goth-type arrangement despite not being an actual goth).
 |
| Target top Rivers patterned pants Target black ballet flats Nine West bag from Macy's Kate Spade "Annika" sunglasses |
Thursday: Back to Nature
Another non-working day but I did get out and about for "lunch" with Bridie at Bracegirdles. Said lunch being a shared chocolate fondue platter. Hey, she's pregnant, I'm not going to argue. I also didn't have much in the way of nature print or anything green, so I went for this necklace and my leopard print ballet flats.
 |
| Best & Less striped tee Vintage leaf pendant from Re-Gen op shop |
Friday: Citrus Hues
Total and utter fail on this one, it was 37 degrees and all I had was an orange cardi.So I put on some orangey lipstick as a token gesture.
 |
| Gok Wan glasses from SpecSavers Australis Velourlips Matte Cream in Mi-A-Mee Bonds tee |
Random Bonus
I went out in town on Saturday night, which I rarely do. So here's what I wore:
 |
| Bardot dress Target gladiator sandals vintage Ultramesh clutch from the Salvos Big W rose gold tassel necklace Mimco bracelet |
Now embarking on April Nicoll's #AprilsAutumn Challenge . . .

Thanks so much for joining in. I'm sorry some days were harder than others but you got it right anyway - a little or a lot - whatever works for you! Love your Saturday night outfit too. Hope you had a great night! x
ReplyDeleteThanks for the challenge, Vanessa! I've added my link to your blog link-up as well. Yay!
DeleteIt's good to have a challenge to make you think differently with your wardrobe - and you managed to come up with something even though you were worried you had nothing! So it's good in that way, gets you being creative! :)
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy your autumn challenge too! I've seen that on instagram and considered it..but I'm a bit style challenged out, giving it a rest for a little while! :)
I do enjoy the prompts for shaking up my outfit selection and I've got a couple of real life friends joining in the Autumn one which gives it extra motivation!
DeleteI love your Bardot leopard print dress. Stunning!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I got it for about $18 at the outlet in Abbotsford in Melbs - score. It's got a really forgiving elastic waist too!
