Lurking at the back of the wardrobe...

So I've found a new way to investigate the items of my wardrobe and lure myself away from the usual items. I've been given a challenge (well it was a suggestion) as part of my Reiki course. Over the 21 days following my attunment each day represents a chakra clearing and to recognise this the teacher suggested carrying something in the colour, or wearing something in the colour of that chakra each day. Chakras are represented by the 7 colours of the rainbow. Ive tried keeping my blog posts in order but a few are mixed up. If I was more organised Id have liked to see the correct order.
Today is the throat chakra, colour blue/cyan. Well I hunted and hunted and finally found this top lurking at the back of my wardrobe. I bought it in the Next sale 3 years ago, in the teen section and have never worn it yet. Its beautiful and floaty, covered in tiny beads and a few sequins. I just removed the satin blue belt to update it slightly. During my shopping trip the lady on the till told me I looked striking and it was such an eye catching colour, made my day :o)

Top - Next (sale), Jeans - Next, Belt - New Look (came with trousers), Shoes - Barretts (thrifted)
