Trinny and Susannah have been banging on about ‘wearing colour with colour’ for years. I now see explosion of colours every where. Is it that I’m more aware of colours or the result of their effort in educating us the ‘black addicts’ to incorporate more colours instead of resorting to ‘lazy black’? I call the colour (or the lack of it) black ‘lazy’ for a very personal reason. Black is indeed what I look brilliant in without much effort. I think so anyway. With near black hair and eye colour, black is what I used to wear almost all the time with matching black accessories. As I incorporate colours in my wardrobe palette slowly and steadily I do get tempted to go all out and be adventurous. The result? Two pairs of near florescent turquoise blue and deep purple jeans I picked up for $8 AUD each!

The current issue of Shop til drop has just the thing for a colour fix. Colour me beautiful, I say! Too bad that the model is dreadfully skinny. It would have been better if she had a bit more of flesh on her. Click each image to see more details and other information on each outfit. {images scanned by me from Shop til drop September 2008}
Full colour attire might be still too challenging for some. Myriad of colourful accessories are out there to tempt us, the colour challenged.
For a bag obsessed girl like me colourful bags are always welcome. I also talked about purple bag in my previous post.

People I follow daily have shown their taste for colours.

Great pants. I am a color addict. I can't wear a lot of black, I try sometimes, but it just isn't me!
I'm loving those turquoise pants! The purple is great too but the turquoise really pops.
I'll chime in on the pants, I think they're great. Those shades will prove to be very versatile, I'm sure. Are you going to post photos of the outfits you do with them?
Gosh I completely agree with you about the body image thing. Some people are naturally that thin, but most aren't, and a lot of girls my age really suffer as a result of it. And people are afraid to talk about it, like it's a dirty secret or something. Thank you for questioning the media and such...I strive to do likewise!
I adore the colors of the dresses and bags! Happy colors make the whole day feel wonderful.
linked you up!

Blogger The Clothes - I remember Trinny isn't a 'black' girl either. she does show how to do 'black' without going all out. I'd better do a post like that for you and others.
wendyb - the turquoise does pop alright! I'm thinking of wearing them for the fashion festival as I wouldn't dare to outdo other fashionistas so I'd just go 'pop'
end - yay I'm getting shower of enc's dry wit comments (this one being not so dry). i'm a happy woman. Yep I'll do something very soon...
choubelle - thank you for linking me up! yep let's talk about those dark things and get them out there where ever we can, i say.
strikepose - the red quilted bag isn't actually Channel but I guess you can call it that as it's such a classic design from Channel. for the link. consider it done
asiancajuns - yep those jeans were marked down from aud50 to just under aud8 at Target in my town. I guess not many people think they could wear such coloured jeans.
Precisely.. I wear black during summer here (when it goes up to 40c sometimes.) Asian girls with medium skin tone do look great with black!
Kira - thanks dear kira for your lovely comment in the layout.
love the jewel bangle and the red chanel bag. adore colors.
btw, i agree with you about emporio armani, i just love the collection this fall.
the quilted red Chanel is to DIE for!
the pink bag is a darling, I almost bought it in Paris, but got the Gucci bag instead. I dont remember the brand, do you?

S—I got way behind this week, and it took awhile to catch up. Sorry about that.
Love the pants and the bracelets! Such lovely colors.
LOVE LOVE LOVE the new blog look!!!
i have purple topshop jeans. but i got them a year ago...
i usually love color.. especially for summer.. and then jewel tones for fall/winter.. but lately i've been stuck on neutrals... maybe it's time to use some more color before the season changes.

omg the purple balenciaga is gorgeous, i love colors. is it from whosbag?
Hi
Anonymous - I wouldn't think so. You will have to ask enc. The caption for the image has the link to her post. Why don't you ask her directly? :)
ok i will, thanks for replying!
sorry to bother you again, but do you know if whosbag will ship internationally? i am crazy for some of their bags but i can't even read korean...
Not a problem. Actually Whosbag will have some really colourful motorbags just like the purple one you asked me about.
they will ship internationally but communication will be a bit of an issue. They don't speak English so you will have to have someone translating stuff for you. Another issue is.. the shipping cost is going to be around AUD 40 also (just a guess not won't be far off)
If you are really keen I can help you out. Send me an email. My email address is listed in my blog near my profile photo.
I love those bracelets. Wouldn't it be fun to have friendship bracelets between us bloggers?? :) Thanks for including me again! <3
