colour me: yellow bellied...

So you may think I'm clearly nuts when I make this confession:
Colours can still scare me.
Yes, I know ... I have seen my hair lately!  And yes, I'm an artist...  but when it comes to my wardrobe I still break out in a cold sweat at certain shades of threads. 

 This short-sleeve cardigan is a perfect example.  Now I love melon.salmon.coral tones... but to wear them?  Yipes, I feel like a Spring tulip... when usually I'm more comfortable in the colour palette of a swampy bog.

But just like forcing myself into plums.purple outfits... I try (once a month at least) to splash a new colour on: funky scarves being the easiest way to add vibrant tones...
(and yes I am a Sheriff.. got the badge to prove it).  Ok, not really.

This hippy shirt has been one of my favourites for years... I've worn it out.
Out: all over Europe
Out: almost thread-bare.

The blue and green rings are inherited from my Grandma... and that big honkin' Amber ring is my engagement/wedding band. 
 
The moccasins and I are just chillin' with our gnomies in the garden.

What colour do you always wear?
Which tones scare you to try?

Have a colour-full day!
