Oct 20, Burst of Color
Looking over my last few posts- there is definitely a common theme- I like neutrals, a lot! I’m not sure why I’m so afraid of color, it’s not like I’m a shy person!
However, now that the days are turning grayer and grayer- I feel the need to bring a little burst of color into my wardrobe!
Until this style experiment, this (on the right) was my daily uniform; a white t shirt, jeans, cardigan and mom shoes. Boring- but safe!
Nothing wrong with a white t shirt, it just doesn’t have much personality. With the right accessories, it can definitely stand alone (as in what I wore yesterday), but today I want more! I am always a fan of stripes- so this shirt seemed like the perfect fit.
I’m also trying to find alternatives to my skinny jeans (did you notice I haven’t worn them once this week?!) These gray skinny cords are a nice change. Throw on a necklace and change into cuter shoes (can’t go wrong with Tory Burch flats) and I’m all set.
By keeping the colors of this outfit limited to only 3 colors- it is not too busy! Pants: Banana Republic, Striped shirt: J Crew, Sweater: Nordstrom Rack, Shoes: Nordstrom, Necklace: Kohl’s

You love stripes!! What are your thoughts about patterns that aren’t geometric (florals, etc)? I haven’t seen you mention them yet.
I know- I’m a bit addicted to them! For some reason I do not wear any floral- (I do have a floral top that I might wear tomorrow), but I seem to be very drawn to stripes above all other patterns. That’s not to say I don’t like other patterns- I just don’t seem to own many. I’m going to try to expand my patterns a bit though- good suggestion!
Thanks so much for all your comments!
Seriously loving the Tory Burch shoes!!

Yep – I coveted them for a long time, then finally splurged and bought them! I love them!
