Here I go – getting ready for my vow of colour. I have packed a whole lot of black temptations away in a suitcase – out of sight out of mind!
I went out with friends last night and wore a couple of special black pieces. I felt like the night before the 40 hour famine when all you could think of was food! I did not realize just how attached I am to a few of my favourite pieces.
So effortless, so chic. Black is cool. But so is colour, so here I go. I have one day to get some clothes sorted, shop for a few essentials and be ready.
The women I have told so far of my 21 day experiment have had varied reactions. Some have glazed over with the thought.
We are a lazy nation of dressers. Kiwi’s are known to be hands on, practical, ‘can do’ people which does not bode well when dressing.
There are some fabulously dressed, fashionable and stylish New Zealanders but on the whole, if you sit and watch at any public place you will see large amounts of casually dressed, practical people, wearing comfortable clothes. They seem have little interest in style or fashion or even how they look.
Too hard? Not enough time? No Money – these are the excuses I get everyday.
The size of my wardrobe puts me in a good position to try this experiment. I appreciate that I probably have more clothes than the average kiwi girl. Still I think that this challenge may not be as easy as I think!
Basics like tights, camisoles, slips – all black! Favourite boots, shoes and my new handbag - alone they will be for 21 days. No outings for them!
I started my Sunday at the gym. Not an activity I enjoy but one that is good for my body. All gym gear – BLACK! Who knows maybe I will be more motivated at the gym when I see my butt in coral leggings!!!
