Wednesday Wardrobe Challenge - Red

Hello Folks! Another very short post from me I'm afraid - I have had a terribly busy week with very little time for blogging - I hope I'll have some time to catch up on my blog reading over the weekend.
This weeks wardrobe challenge was "red" which wasn't too hard for me as its one of my favourite colours.

I picked this wee 80's frock up from a local op shop for next to nothing and I love it! Also a great frock for winter as it's pretty warm.

Sorry there's only one photo - I almost forgot to take one at all! Rich usually takes an outfit photo for me before we leave work on Wednesdays. But at the moment he's starting work early on Wednesday so he can leave work early to attend his lecture. I really need to get myself a tripod so I can take photos myself - any suggestions.

Also thanks to Camelia Crinoline for suggesting that I add making macaroons to my "35 before 35 list" such an excellent suggestion, it's already on the list! I've even found a one day baking course at Wellington High School to teach people how to bake them.

The other suggestion I had was from Olivia at Wait Until the Sunset who suggested that I go and visit her - I think I can do that - It's been a long time since I visited Brisbane.

I can't believe that tomorrow is Friday already! This week has really flown by! I hope you're all having a super week.

Outfit Deets:

Tights & Belt - Glassons
Bracelet - Equipt
Dress - Op-shopped, Opportunity for Animals, Kilbirnie
Necklace - Belonged to a Great Aunt that passed away

Great dress. I love the grey and red colour combination. I bought a fold up tripod off trademe for about $15 and I use it all the time. I'm looking forward to hearing about your macaron baking course. I've tried making them quite a few times and they always taste yummy but never look quite as good as the ones at the bakery.

Show us the macaroons when you've made some! xxx
