My next self imposed challenge (ala Ornella my inspirational goddess) to keep me from buying things when I know I have enough already was to try dressing in Red/White/Blue and Gold (metallic) every day of the Olympics. Without duplicating entire looks.
So here is my results. Some are a little too themey for my normal tastes (but coworkers who were in on the scheme approved). I found my new Michael Kors gold/silver reversible belt to be a wardrobe staple (and factors heavily here). Some days my only red was a watch or my purse. I even have my favorite bathrobe is R/W/B (no gold) vintage sailor print (1 and 18).
What I learned:
1. it's fun and difficult to limit oneself to a challenge like this.
2. I have a lot of these colors in my wardrobe (the preppy in me I suspect)
3. I need more red and white items (striped tee or sweater?) and gold jewelry
4. It's hard not to look like one works a cruise ship or airline in this combination
5. It's fun if others are in on it (coworkers) and supportive
Nothing new here, and in no particular order (even my weekends I maintained) maybe a few new combos. Sorry I don't know how to make this one photo to spare you.
So those on SYC - take note!! And hats off to all the Olympians who give so much to inspire us all.
