Welcome back to The fab 40s.
The fab 40s Favourite Colours.
This month's Fab 40s theme is "What's your favourite colour?"Simple right?
Not really!
As a lover of SO many shades, this month's theme was particularly hard for me.
I wanted to pick yellow, but had posted this yellow outfit just the other day.
Red was an obvious one, but there has been so much red on my blog recently.
I also love green, and blue, and bright orange.
Decisions, decisions....
So, I did something a little different.
I picked a colour I've never really liked.
Wait...
What?
Was the brief not "Favorite colours"?
Let me explain.
I've always loved pink, but only on other people.
Admiring it from afar, and wishing it was my kind of colour.
I have played around with pink in unexpected ways but never really embraced it properly, so today I'm going bold and bright and mixing my pinks with gusto!
From magenta, to fuschia, to pale blush... it's a pink-fest!
Our Guest blogger this month...
Catherine from Not Dressed as Lamb.
I'm super-excited to have this hugely successful, award winning and all-round lovely lady joining us this month.
As a regular reader of her blog I guessed that her colours would be blush pink and rose gold... (although orange could have been a good one to pick too).
I was very pleased to be half right!
Catherine can't put a (stylish) foot wrong in my book.
Sheela from Sheela Writes.
Sheela is a naughty girl here!Choosing an achromatic palette and trying to pass it off as a colour.
She is such a rebel.
{I would expect no less!}
As always Sheela's attitude makes this outfit stand out from the crowd.
Ann from Kremb de la Kremb
Ann totally surprised me with her colour choice.
I was convinced she was going to choose red.
However, the velvet is no surprise at all.... she has a bit of a 'thing' for it.
I love this shot of her, so beautiful!
Jennie from A pocketful of polka dots
I had a feeling that flame haired Jennie would be in bright green.
{It makes perfect sense}
Red hair and green is a classic combination that always packs a punch.
I love her bold and beautiful style.
That vintage dress is knockout!
Diane from Fashion on the fourth floor
Diane has also surprised me with her colour (I thought she was going to choose khaki and blush pink) but not her camouflage.
I knew there would be a touch of the tomboy somewhere!
Laid back cool, with killer heels.
Mary from Curlybyrdie Chirps
Ive got a bit of an obsession with yellow at the moment and this bold outfit is ticking every box for me.
So striking and cheerful.
Mary's wearing her own sunshine and I love it!
Veronica from CID Style file.
I thought Veronica was going to choose something a little tomboyish and different and she didn't let me down.
Dungarees, gutties and a burgundy bomber... perfect!
