Day Three - The Five Day Accessory Challenge

Day three saw us halfway through the five day challenge.  What we are finding, is that the majority of our accessories are things we have had for a couple of years rather than recent purchases. So here are our challenge attempts. 

Chrissie's collection was 'Pump up the purple'  Key to her accessories was her fabulous peep-toe shoe boots!

the multi-strand necklace gave hints of purple and pinks

 Now my collection was aimed at complementing a tweed trouser suit I wear for work.  So my collection was 'Everything begins with a g' All accessories were either green or gold was the main colour.

My new obsession

A year ago, I decided to do something about getting healthy and making time for exercise.   I'd tried a gym and managed to fall off  a treadmill, my attempt at Zumba was one spin too many and trampolining keep fit resulted in painful knees and a struggle to get up off a train seat.

This time last year I started to go running, after seeing an online post about starting up a small running group.  My early running days were a struggle, barely able to jog let alone run for a minute.  But I stuck to it and can now run for ten minutes nonstop, actually run! The beach promenade is my gym, a early morning run on a Saturday morning is my work out and I am ready for more.  Instead of a new years resolution, I set myself challenges for this year including running my first 5k and by spring I aim to do this. It does mean that some of my footwear choices lately haven't been about the height but more about comfort and speed, but it doesn't me

Shoe of the week

Shoe of the week . . . Really? For the current weather we are experiencing, I should be nominating a pair of waders of the week!  With May apparently going to be the wettest month this year, a pair of wellingtons rather than a great pair of heels is what you need.  But why should they be boring.
