color rut

 

Last week I wore chambray, then coral, then chambray, and then coral again. It was completely unintentional but it did make me think about how that happened. As I was going through my closet again the other day weeding out more items to sell/donate, I realized that my entire wardrobe is white, pink/red, blue, and black. I wonder if we all tend to gravitate towards certain colors more in our wardrobe, or do most people have a more balanced closet? I want to branch out, but are my purchases over the past years telling me that what I'm doing is working for me, or are they telling me I'm stuck in a color rut?

Bubble necklaces: are we all over them now? I know they've been around for what seems like forever, and they're over done, but this morning as I was trying to figure out how to not have the most boring outfit imaginable, and without wearing another scarf...I put it on and wore it anyway. So maybe my Midwest is showing (you know, being like 3 years behind on trends)  but I'll wear it with pride...

...or something

Color Challenge: Pink

This is my first month participating in The Color Challenge over at Small Town, Big Wardrobe- this month's color is pink. I don't own much pink...or at least I didn't until I purchased these pink loafers (on clearance in stores!) on Friday after seeing them on Michelle at Second Street East. I think they'll be a fun addition to my growing collection of work-appropriate shoes.

I also finally created a facebook page - you can find me here!
