If there is one thing you should know about me, I am not known for my love of bright colors. I prefer muted neutrals that create a canvas for random punches of color. I always say I love color…as long as it is a neutral hue. Purple? Sure, bring it on. As long as it’s a dark plum or subdued mauve. Pink? Yes! Just make sure it is a dusty rose or light peach.
Every once in a while I get attracted to a color. Even though I want to scream and run, I can’t help but lust after some bold tones. I am currently going through one of these episodes. The color? Blue. I can count the number of blue pieces I have in my wardrobe on one hand (and yes, they are basically all denim). But recently I’ve been seeing a lot of striking blues in a variety of shades. Since I can barely contain my excitement, I thought I’d create a style guide highlighting the blue finds I’m currently obsessed with. From cobalt to powder blue, it is official: I have the blues.
