My mood board theme for today is full of colour. It reflects the environment around me this week. And it also reflects my mood. I am by nature a colourful person. I can wear colours together that might otherwise clash, but I can get away with it. Today, for example, I am wearing turquoise and fuschia - mind you, I am just at home with the dogs and not doing anything posh!

My Mother was a very colourful person too. But she was much more formal in her approach to colour, she was what you might call colour co-ordinated. Everything had to match. It was she who told me that I had to wear blue eye shadow because I have blue eyes! She had shoes in every colour, to match every outfit in her wardrobe. It took me days to sort it all out after she died. Many of her shoes were still in their original boxes, neatly labeled as to which outfit they went with. I felt sad giving her things away. I do hope they found good homes, with people who took as much pride in their appearance as my Mother did.
Now don't judge me too harshly. My Mom never wore black - ever. And she certainly didn't want mourners wearing black to her funeral. I wore red. Mom would have approved.
