We decided just to write, after all.

If I could, I think I would match all the time. I'd have an enormous wardrobe with colour coded sections, and every day my dress and my shoes would go together perfectly. And everyone would say 'Colour clashing is in this year!' and 'You don't want to look too matchy-matchy!' and I would skip about in my pretty coordinated ensemble and I would not care a jot. NOT ONE JOT.

My Christmas Day outfit ticks all those boxes. Sure, the shoes are too pinchy and high to be comfortable, and sure, the dress is far too snug around the middle to truly withstand Christmas dinner. And I KNOW, I'm missing the matching hair-bow (in true homage to Ladybird's The Party) although I did remember - sadly rather too late to wear out - this bow belt in just the right shade. All those things might counteract the tickyboxes, but... LOOK HOW IT MATCHES.

And I'm newly be-gingered, thanks to Amy's aid in stalking a blogger at the Motel event and demanding to know her hair secrets (Loreal Feria in Mango - I LOVE IT). Roots begone!
