Ah, teal and mustard.

I love this combination of colours – it probably comes as no surprise that teal is one of my favourite colours. Last night I went to a Fashion Show*. Bearing in mind I live in a small village near a slightly larger town, I was really going along to support the charity. But, talented girl that I am, I can spend money anywhere and so I ended up buying a teal dress. Which would go perfectly with mustard. Only I am blonde, and don’t own much (anything?) in mustard. Anyone got any ideas for me?

Please excuse the poor quality and poor lighting. And the fact you can see my pants drying on the rack. It was intended as a quick snap to e-mail to facebook (by popular demand I hasten to add – people wanted evidence that there was fashion to be had where I live) but I thought, what the hell.

The flowers are the only mustard coloured items I am aware of in the house at the moment. I think they would look fab in a wedding bouquet. I am not sure that a bouquet is the right look for my teal dress though…

* I tried to take some photos of the show but the models didn’t pause for long enough and the lighting was terrible. The average age of the audience was definitely old enough to be my mother and the announcer had some strange ideas about “what all the magazines are doing” but, among the vast swathes of what can only be described as um, rubbish, were, occasional nice pieces. Like my teal dress. And the polka dot blouse with pussy bow that I am wearing today.
