I need you to give me "fashion challenges" next week! Oh, and it's Tuesday Oct 18th!

So I've been called out.

"I am sorry to say that I have been reading all your fashion blogs and looking at the pictures and your outfits all look about the same. Tight dark pants/leggings, loose layered shirts. Mostly black with a bit of grey."

They're onto me ALREADY!  I haven't been doing this long enough to have my secrets figured out yet!  But it's totally true.  I am completely afraid of colour.  I enjoy it on other people, but when I try and wear it myself....I just feel like everyone is staring at me!  And I have no problems with being the center of attention (understatement of the year award goes toooo.....) but it just feels weird.  Luckily with my job, black is "the" colour.  It saves your clothes from a multitude of messes.  Colour doesn't stain quite so much...the gazillion of hairs stuck to you every day don't show up as much.....and in our industry, it's the universal "professional" hairstylist colour.  There are many salons that the stylists wear all black (maybe a bit of white...maybe) and that's it.  Head to toe.  Now that I can do!  I always use it as an excuse when I'm out shopping too.  I do education for a colour company which involves me going into other salons and teaching staff there how to use the colour line.  My dress code for such occasions is black.  So I can always say "well, I need black for work so I can buy another black shirt!" but I know I need to expand my closet.  That was the point of this blog really.  To challenge myself and to have others challenge me.  So I'm going to accept this as challenge #1 - attempt some colour.  Maybe a few days in a row.  Maybe by next week I'll have a week of challenges?  Okay, that might be a bit much for an entire week...but it is almost Halloween.  And Halloween week, the challenges could even be a bit more "out there"!  Who's in??  Here's the next weeks schedule....

Tuesday Oct 25th - as much colour as possible (or is as little black as possible okay?)
Wednesday Oct 26th -
Thursday Oct 27th -
Friday Oct 28th -
Saturday Oct 29th -

So I'll update this week as the suggestions come in!  And try and post every day in real time next week with the outfits!  It was also suggested to me a sweater dress....which I love the idea of....but don't own.  So I'm on the hunt for one and that should come up soon too!!  So what else am I wearing next week?? 


Until then....here is Tuesday Oct 18th.  Keep in mind i'm attempting a bra today....and feeling much more perky!!

Oh yeah...the girls are up where they should be!!   Okay so black mini dress....leopard tights and belt!  Also the ugliest boots in the universe....

Ugh those things are hideous!  Hahaha!  I need some new work flat boots...maybe some mid calf length?  Or like....shoes.  A pair of shoes that aren't heels!!  Suggestions??

Look at those perky boobs!  It's alllllllll bra!

So what do I need for footwear?  And what are my fashion challenges for next week??
