Not the right color

by grechen on May 31, 2011 | SUBSCRIBE | TWITTER | FACEBOOK |

I told Joyce & Sharon recently NOT to let me buy anything that’s not grey, black or white ANYMORE. But I may have spoken too soon…

because I really love this Steven Alan dress (I’d have to belt it, of course):

how cute is it???

Let me explain. I do get tired (more like easily frustrated) with pieces in my closet that are NOT neutral, or black, grey or white because I’m not sure what to do with them. And I don’t necessarily believe I’ll still like them in a year, so they’re always the first to go when I do a major closet purge. It’s not that I don’t like color; I’m just intimidated by it. Or it doesn’t feel like “me.” But at the same time, I’m drawn to it. Maybe it’s the season?

How do you incorporate color into your wardrobe? What do you think about bright, neon colors for Summer? Do you own any?

I love the color and I think it would look great on you. The extra bonus of light weight fabric is perfect for summer and it could easily transition to fall with leggings and a cardigan, so in my opinion, it would be a thumbs up! But will you tire of it too quickly?
(I have a special fondness for neon yellow and pink!)

I have such a love/hate relationship with color- I swear it goes back and forth every week! Right now, I’m really interested in navy blue, but I don’t think that really counts as a color. I’m trying to amp up the neutrals in my wardrobe, but I also can’t seem to stop buying pink stuff. *Sigh* Such is my life……
