Daily Threads: Hello, Color

{Urban Outfitters Dress (similar), Belk Winter White Cardigan (similar) , Guess via TJ Maxx Cognac Booties (similar), Tights c/o We Love Colors}


1. What color dominates your closet?
Honestly, I can't find one. I definitely have colors throughout my closet, but nothing is overwhelming. If anything, neutrals dominate my closet. I usually stick to neutral outfits with a hint of color - whether through a piece of jewelry, cardigan, scarf, or tights. 



2. If money weren't an issue how would you change the color emphasis in your closet?
I would add lots and lots of jewel-toned clothes. I think jewel-tone tops, bottoms, cardigans, dresses, jewelry, and accessories are gorgeous. They are perfect colors for the whole year-round - and really, they are flattering on everyone. I love them. 



3. What is your mantra about mixing colors?
No more than three colors per outfit. Now there are definitely times when I have more colors going on, and I think that's fine. But in general, for me, I prefer to stick to three colors. 



4. For you, how do you incorporate color into your outfits?
I usually incorporate color with one piece. Whether it's through a cardigan, a pair of pants, or accessories (a statement necklace or tights- see pictures above) there's going to be color somewhere - bright or subtle. 



5. Which blogger(s) do you think do a good job of incorporating color into their wardrobe?
That's easy: Suze. She always incorporated color into her daily looks and she always does a fabulous job at it! Other's that always impress me with color:Jenni, Sydney, Ashley, Kileen, and Natasha - just to name a few!    




A big shout-out to We Love Colors for these fabulous (and warm!) teal tights. I originally was going to wear black and gray pieces with the tights. Then I decided I would go all out with the color theme - and I am loving this teal and maroon combo.

  13. Those teal tights look amazing!! I love jeweled tones myself and I'm thinking I need to get more of those colors in my closet too! I also like your rule of no more than 3 colors. I think any more than that might be too risky!

  26. I am loving the color combination and I think the 3-color rule is good to stick to. However, I don't agree 100% with the pairing of the heels with those tights. Maybe white shoes, or a paler color? That would definitely go with your 3 color rule.

    And beautiful hair! Can you do like hair tutorials or something? I love all your hairstyles!

  27. I'm loving all the color I'm seeing today! I'm so inspired to wear some (tomorrow) I'm already greyed out today.

  32. I'm really impressed not only with the color combo that you've put together, but with the moxie that it takes to wear it. I aspire to wear more bold, colorful, eye-catching outfits, but I tend to lose my nerve, particularly on work days. So I think I'm going to use your ensemble as a challenge to go more colorful... over the weekend.

  46. Also I slightly overstated my enthusiasm for teal. It was formerly a favorite color, still a lot of affinity for it, but I am beyond in love with lime green for the time being :)
