Aussie Curves - RED

I thought it was about time I joined the blogging world and what better way to get started than to join a weekly FATshion challenge to keep me motivated. 

I love clothing, shoes, jewellery, makeup, shopping, socks, hairdressers, tights, frilly undies, you name it I am into it. Except I am a total amateur when it comes to putting an outfit together, I know nothing about makeup except that it sticks to my face and most of the time my outfits range from crazy coloured clown to black on black rock chick. I am fickle with my style and I don't read fashion magazines. I spend my time immersed in art books or covered in paint. Most of the time I am evil to my clothes. I am rough with them, I get whatever medium I am working with all over them and God help me I dress for comfort. What I love about dressing myself is it's a major part of my life, I do it everyday (mostly) and outfits or individual items have the power to make me feel confident, classy, and best of all my favourite feeling sexy as hell. So welcome to my world Autour Couture...

*little note Autour means ROUND in French and couture was a rhyming fashion term I figured sounded good, but I should add that I don't sew either, so couture is probably a total lie.

My first week in the Aussie Curves challenge - RED.

THE RED SHOES

I must admit that this week I am away from home with only my trusty favourites stuffed into my suitcase, so actually putting an ensemble together wasn't going to be an option. Thankfully my trusty favourite red ballet flats are always a part of my easy go anywhere outfit. It seems totally appropriate that one my favourite films as a child was The Red Shoes and I wonder if subconsciously it influenced me when I bought them.

I love my red ballet flats

because I can and do wear

them with just about anything,

dresses, skirts, shorts, leggings

but I think they look their happiest

complimenting my tight black jeans.

The other red style motif I take everywhere with me is my hair. For years my hair was dark brown/almost black and recently I thought it was time for a change.

I love how shiny and bright it gets in the sun, and while having bright red hair sometimes compliments my clothing colour choices it never excludes any.

Next week I promise a little more of me than my feet and my head... 

For those who are interested my red shoes are from the Diana Ferrari outlet that is WAY too close to my house and my hair was done by the lovely Tracey from DTM on High St in Thornbury.
