Who doesnt fancy a fashion challenge? Im so excited to be participating in my second fashion challenge hosted by Megan from MeganMaeDaily and Keely from Casualchickiki.com. Theme for this challenge is colors of the season and today Monday its TEALday. :)
I only have one teal garment in my wardrobe unfortunately so I had to work around this cardigan. I decided to pair it with this dress which print includes teal paradise birds among others. Hopefully this will suffice *waves at Megan and Keely* :)
Im sorry for the lack of photos, I had to rush out inbetween showers and I only got a few decent pics before it started raining again. Its been raining non stop for the past two days, its a hardknock life for a style blogger. ;) Hehehe
What Im wearing:
Cardigan from Mango
Dress from River Island
Tights from Sneaky Fox (new)
Shoes from Bianco
Now Im off to see what the other participants have come up with for teal day, you might as well check them out too. ;)
The cardigan and dress are terrific. Sometimes I think teal needs a brighter color to go with it and you found it.
SvarSlettThanks Judy! I have never thought of teal needing a bright colour but I think you are right. :) I just put together this outfit by chance. :)
SlettTeal is a great colour on you, Monica, and the dress is SO pretty! What a gorgeous print.
SvarSlettTell me about the grey damp weather, it's no friend to bloggers who want to take outdoor photos... xxxx
Oh Thank you Curtis! :) I havent used teal much, great to hear thats a colour I can wear. :) I prefer to take outdoor photos as the colours are more acurate presented in daylight instead of artificial light. I really hate artificial light, makes my face look all red and plastered.
SlettLove that dress!
SvarSlettoh many thanks Faith! :) Thanks for popping by my blog and leaving a comment, appreciate it! :)
SlettDefinitely amazing entry for teal! It looks super gorgeous with the colors of the dress, and the shape is perfection. Stay dry!
SvarSlettoh thanks a lot Megan. I will try to stay dry, easier said than done. ;)
SlettLove, love, love, my lady in blues, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Many thanks dear. :)
SlettThis is a lovely teal combination! I do understand about the blogger's challenge of getting good weather and especially good light : > Thanks for linking up to Visible Monday.
SvarSlettoh thanks Patti. :) Yup good weather and light are essential for great outdoors pics. :)
SlettAww... you wore this teal cardigan beautifully! I really love how it looks with that gorgeous printed dress and those tights! The color combination look adorable and you look really pretty!

SlettThe cardigan is perfect with that dress! What a wonderful pattern!
SvarSlettMany thanks Sheila!
SlettI love this outfit. I covet all of your clothes :)
SvarSlettAaaw Lynne, thanks a lot. :)
SlettWhat a gorgeous dress! Perfect with your teal cardigan too.
SvarSlettOh thank you Keely! Thanks for popping by and leaving a comment, appreciate it. :)
SlettI love the way you wear your sweater half-buttoned. This dress is so beautiful on you.
SvarSlettAaw thank you Melanie. :)
SlettFabulous dress - I love that it's birds, and that the cardigan picks them out by colour. Ditto Melanie's comment about the strategically-buttoned sweater, really lovely!
SvarSlettaww thank you Amber, means a lot. :) Yea I love the print on this dress. :)
SlettThis lovely outfit feels retro in an awesome way! I love the restraint used in choosing the charcoal grey tights. I'm glad you persevered, and got photos despite the sketchy weather.
SvarSlettSue xo
oh thank you Sue! :) I love being retro, 40s and 50s style is soo my cup of tea. :) Anything with a full skirt makes me drool, hehehe
SlettIf I have a lot of colours going on then its good to use neutral coloured tights, makes the outfit come together I think. :)
I agree with everyone, but especially the retro look that also feels modern, and the colors! I love the teal with gray and yellowy-greens - it's a classy combination.
SvarSlettThank you Val! Thanks for popping by my blog and leaving such a sweet comment, appreciate it. :)
SlettYou wear teal very well! The dress is so beautiful, i love the yellowish-lime with teal, it's such an unusual combination.
SvarSlettI'm trying to take my photos outside for as long as possible. I remember how difficult it is to work with artificial lighting on indoor photos, all through last winter.
In this case, and this case only, I can recommend hot flushes! Not that it brightens anything, but you can keep on taking photos in the freezing wind, without wearing coats or jackets!
aaw thanks Tine, means a lot! Yea I love the teal-grey-yellow/chartreuse combination,unusual is good. :) Yea I wont be taking any photos indoors as I look terrible in artificial lighting, my face looks all red and flustered. The colours in my outfits are also looking a little off in indoors lighting. Yup the last photoshoots have been freezing, could do with some hot flashes then. :)
SlettWhat a wonderful look. The sweater adds so much to this outfit. Beautiful!
SvarSlettThank you Debbi. :)
SlettThis is another gorgeous outfit. So elegant & girly. That dress is awesome. Love the colors and retro feel it has. Great cardigan, too.
SvarSlettYou are really doing an awesome job with this challenge. Ada. =)
