Due to a severe lack of anything to fit the arm candy idea, my ‘arm candy’ became ‘ear candy’ and I’m wearing bold earrings that I usually feel very conspicuous in – teaming them with bright tee shirt and black jacket.
Love the Fabuary idea!
Angela – love that you’re giving it a go and interpreting it in your own way. Be a little bold and daring during February!
In the spirit of the challenge I am trying something new with my arm candy. I am wearing a red top and brown skirt, and my arm candy is two chunky bangles which are both different reds to each other and to the top. I think it actually works very well.
Loving the challenge of stepping out of my comfort zone.
Fiona – glad that you’re stepping out of your comfort zone! We all need a little shake up every now and again.
My effort posted on my blog. A little nervous about going pink tomorrow …
Thanks Madonna – why so worried about pink? Hopefully you’ll have found the ideas on the post about thinking pink gives you some ideas of which way to go.
I challenged myself to wear a studded leather cuff that I actually bought for a Carnival costume some years ago… at work! 😮 It’s quite impressive: thick with five lines of pretty big studs, I can hardly tape on the keyboard wearing it LOL! My idea was to pair it with the most classic and ladylike garments I could find in my wardrobe this morning and conservative pieces of jewellery, namely diamond studs and a pearl necklace. It’s hilarious and of course… it works! 🙂
I was given a watch for my birthday last month. I don’t usually wear one but it’s so pretty I decided to wear it today as my arm candy. It’s hot pink. Can I wear it for tomorrow as well, or do I need to be more original?
Angela. What about your pretty pale pink top?
Good point, Imogen. I have lots of pretty pink things to wear.
My blog also updated, somewhat belatedly perhaps, but only seemingly. I can see I’m going to have to get round this time-difference thing, Australians – you’re far too advanced for us Londoners!
Susie – I know that we are living in the future over here in Australia and so will be keeping an eye out for your Fabstyle challenge updates!
I just love challenges like these 🙂 Today I was pressed for time capturing pics so only captured one. My arm candy is a layering of 2 bangels with a large piece of costume jewelry. People at work think it’s cute 🙂
Michelle – love that the people at work are enjoying your challenge style!
I absolutely love this challenge! I stacked my arm candy high today and had a proper little arm party going on! Looking forward to tomorrow x
Purdey – love an arm party!
Just noticed that it’s February 2 where you live Down Under, but it’s still February 1 here in España!
My blog post about your challenge: http://over60andoverhere.blogspot.com.es/2013/02/accepting-fabruary-style-challenge.html. Did I hear someone say it’s “pink” tomorrow? Oh dear!
Sue – yes we live in the future here – but that’s good as hopefully we can inspire you on the challenge! Thanks for taking part!
Where do I submit my link? Here’s my attempt – complete with blurry pics… 🙂
