Not stylish but WARM. The wind was howling under the eaves. Gotta love those seasonal transitions. As FABruary cedes into a March a new style dare arisesDay 24: Sunday mornings I teach from 9 – 12. When I get home the best part of the day is gone. Here am I watching the Minx learn to surf in a paddling pool. I am wearing lip gloss. Honest I am are.

Today my rather swish Aurelia Costeralla leather vest – $9.99 from eBay ;)As FABruary cedes into a March a new style dare arisesDay 27: My favorite retro style is pretty much summed up by wiggle dresses of the 50s and 60s As FABruary cedes into a March a new style dare arisesDay 27: Retro: 60s dresses which play down my lack of boobage and flatter my butt. This is a vintage 60s dress. The soundtrackAs FABruary cedes into a March a new style dare arisesDay 28: My friend Damana says that pink is an ethos. I tend to agree as I feel like a boy pretending to be a girl when I don pink.

Last Friday I started in on another month of Style Challenges via Ms Andrea Z aka Fox in Flats.

“Are you finished with all those Instagram fashion photos?” a friend asked over pad thai and nice NZ white wine in Como.

“Well, yes and no” I said, plunging something finger shaped deep fried and yummy into a plum n ginger dipping sauce “I have finished Fabruary and am now working my way through the March style challenge”.

“Oh” my friend said. ‘

“If you are over the whole selfie sharing thing, I understand” I say “after all, I spend a lot of time in between Darlinghurst and Surry Hills pointing my mobile at myself while people point and whisper loudly … Instagramer”.

So rather than bung up my social media feeds with photies I have decided to:

- blog each week of my March Style Challenge photos on a Sunday here

AND

- post photos daily on Instagram (as shoesandyoga).

There are HEAPS of shoe challenges this month (happy dance in stilettos).

If you want to join in (it makes getting dressed daily a mindful act of creativity) either take a photo and tag it as #foxinflatsstyledare on Instagram or like Fox in Flats on Facebook 

To wrap up the rest of FABruary I have prepared a bijou galleriette of images as follows:
