partheniaSo I started with:
Black V-neck cotton-lycra sleeveless fitted top from Bravissimo
Stone long lightweight Berghaus shorts, er, nicked from B as too small for him
This was all vaguely flattering shape-wise, but the lack of colour made my legs look even milkier white than they already are. I was about to throw it all back in the wardrobe and put my jeans back on, and then I put on some burnt-orange flat leather Mary Jane slingbacks, whichR made me buy I bought in Bluewater last year and entirely forgot to wear; and an African wood and bone necklace which has also dark orange and dark green bits in it.
Strange. I cannot wear orange as a main colour as it looks like hell, but in this case the shoes and the necklace completely and totally make the outfit, injecting a wee jolt of colour into an otherwise deathly pale palette. Huh. Never underestimate the power of coloured shoes.
Also, the shoes are so very very pretty, I keep staring at my feet. I do like happy clothes.
Dear God, my photography sucks. Dooce has nothing to fear.

Yeah, there are certain clothes that just make your little heart sing.
