Well, I hope you all like the color blue, because I just ran and did an inventory, and I have 10 light blue vintage dresses, and plenty more that feature blue in a pattern. Then I have sundry blue separates. Oh, and the walls of both my bedrooms are blue (mother's house and father's house), as are my quilts and bed canopy and book shelves... I think you get the picture. It's really funny, as I never sat down and thought, "light shades of blue should be my signature color!". I guess I'm just instinctively drawn to their cool, fresh look, be it a wedgwood, cornflower, sky, pastel, or robin's egg hue. I also tend to favor red and ivory as accent colors, so it all works out quite well!
Do any of you have a color that's just "you"?
And no one knows about the blues like Hank, though they're blues of a different kind. I have been looking up a lot of his live recordings lately; I love hearing the banter at the beginnings and end. I wish I could afford that huge Mother's Best Collection that just came out!
Have a nice weekend!! See ya soon : )
i used to hate red as a kid, it was pink all the way! but now i realise how much it suits me. i cant wait for it to get cold so i can wear this bright red 60s winter coat i got for my birthday! its a colour that pops!
ReplyDeleteblue would be the runner up - blue socks, bright blue wall, blue clock (the cutest clock in existence), etc.

ReplyDeleteI think about 90% of my clothes might be blue! This outfit is perfect, you have the most amazing wardrobe!!

I had the same realisation about a year ago and went on a big dyeing spree. I made one green, one pink and one burgendy - and I still have a few light blue dresses!
ReplyDeleteThe colour I am most often drawn to is that lovely berry/burgendy/maroon that seems to be warm and energetic at the same time :)
Pink seems to be creeping in to my wardrobe more and more. I look great in blue (brings out my eyes) and when in doubt, I go for red. But the proof is in the closet, and pink is it!
ReplyDeleteBlue and green are my go to's in my closet! I've been trying to branch out a bit and incorporate more red and yellows in but it's hard finding the right shade sometimes and blue and green are just so lovely!
ReplyDeleteI find myself wearing a lot of red, not on purpose at all but some how it happens. I love that collar! feeling totally inspired to get dressed for uni tomorrow now!
ReplyDeleteI think I'm the only person I know who can't settle on a color. My favorite to look at is pink, but to wear...I have no clue. My closet and the place I live is a rainbow. If I HAD to say something, I'd say gray (because it's not black or white, but still goes with all the other colors.)
ReplyDeletetoo adorable
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, ladies <3 I guess blue is a popular color!! Very nice; I think it's universally flattering! And reds and pinks seem to be just as popular; naturally! They're both such feminine and luscious colors.
ReplyDeleteRebeccak, I've never considered dyeing! I'm a little nervous it'd all go terribly wrong, but that'd be a fun way to mix up my existing wardrobe a bit!
