The Sure, Sweet Cement, Glue And Lime of Love

I've been obsessed with colour since I hit high school. This is probably because prior to this, from the ages of nine to twelve, I only wore black. My parents must have been horrified and I can't believe they let me do it for as long as I did. The thing that made me shun the whole black from head to toe thing was tie-dye. Again, embarassing.

So I'm a fan of colour - cerise, teal, tangerine, aqua, cerulean, scarlett. There are some colours though that are a little bit lacking in my closet. One is yellow. I've got fairly sallow skin and sometimes yellow makes me look a bit sick or really, really sick. Which is sad because yellow is one of my favourite colours (it's so happy!) and I always find some great yellow stuff when op-shopping. Like this blouse.
It looks a tiny bit (okay, alot) Austin Powers-y but with a little bit of updating it would look great under a pinafore. But alas, the colour made me look like I had malaria. The dodge op shop lighting probably didn't help. So, no yellow for me....

But what is the next best thing? Why, lime of course. All those citrus colours...
