The Sun Was Out...

...but now it's raining. How unpredictable is the British weather, or you could say it's very predictable for it to be unpredictable, I suppose. 
Not technically turquoise but it's in the area. I sit opposite Clare from Tweet, at work.

Following on from my previous post, do you ever get the feeling that a colour is following your around? Maybe that fact that I have more than a little liking for turquoise is because my house has been painted that colour since I was a little boy. And without me really realising, the colour has crept its way inside and has its feet firmly up on the coffee table.

Time for a favourite colour change? I'm slowly edging towards purples and nudes I think. 

Does anyone out there fancy doing some kind of swap shop? Not just clothes but anything really, I think it would be a good way to brighten up our lifes! Whose in?

  9. First picture. Love it. The matching colors of the shoes and socks are great, but the turn-up trousers (don't know the right word for it in English) are the best part of the picture. =)

  13. Variations of green... I once read that turquoise is a very positive colour and was therefore voted colour of 2010 (you see, you were soooo much ahead of the trend).
    Not so sure if the current weather goes as the usual unpredictability of the English climate. It's effing cold and in my 7 years here it was never like this before.
    Swapping? What are you thinking of? Can you give us a post to explain?

  17. February was my "red" month - I saw this colour. absolutely. everywhere.
    On people's heads, on their clothes, in decor, on the streets. It was crazy. It suited my crazy urge to dye my hair red (pretty glad I never went through with that), but that fizzled eventually, of course...
    Ah, I wish I was in Britain!

  18. Ugh don't even get me started on British weather >.>
    The sun comes out but where is the warmth?!

    I think pink follows me around, I don't even really like pink that much but I seem to always somehow have it on my or a lot of it, it's so weird?

  19. I like these colours. Not only because there is an awful lot of Cambridge blue! But it helps.

    Thanks for sharing.
