Pantone-Inspired Spring Color Challenge - Emerald

I'm participating in a blog linkup this week which means I'm going to have to get super organised! The linkup is shared over two absolutely wonderful blogs I discovered during the week, Literate and Stylish by Heidi and The Modern Austen by Marissa. For this linkup a colour is designated for each day of the week to celebrate spring with- yeah yeah yeah, I know - it doesn't make any sense as I'm in Australia and facing an increasingly chilly Autumn! As I usually consider Autumn to be one of my favourite seasons, I feel it's appropriate to celebrate along anyway! Today is emerald green. It's a work day for me too, which means all black and a great chance to wear my emerald green cardigan!......



Oh no! What's this?


Car insurance renewal!! :(

As I have such a busy week ahead and only half an hour before work - I'm sorry, I'll need to multitask here!











Car Insurance Done. Fashion Shoot Done. Ok off to work!





Here's a better shot of my necklace (it didn't come up too well in previous photos). It's from Lovisa. I didn't make or refashion this one! Here is also what I might have worn if it were spring - and yes well spotted! I didn't think I was going to able to slip this one past you! The skirt was indeed a refashion from a former dress.

  3. This was funny! I get the same look on my face when our credit card bill arrives. I have to go through my memory bank to determine how to justify my spending to my husband! I love your green cardigan and more so your pendant! It's beautiful!
