neutral attraction

This is the typical convo I have with myself when shopping:
Jessica: "Ooh I like that tan sweater"
Jessica: "But I already have so many neutrals, I should get it in hot pink"
Jessica: "Great idea, let's get it"
Only to come home & realize that my closet looks like a My Little Pony puked on it... nary a neutral in sight...

So apparently I live under this illusion that I am a "neutral" person, true in my head, so not true in real life.

While trying to make outfits from neon yellow, cobalt blue, hot pink & cherry red is an exciting challenge, sometimes I just need a neutral to throw into the mix!

I am craving all these quality neutrals in my closet - can't you see these packing a punch with the other colorful items in your wardrobe this Summer?!

P.S. Many of these items are on sale this weekend!

  1. I'm the same way. I look at my closet and pretty much all I see is colour. You really do need those whites, tans and beiges to make it complete!

  2. I have a similar mindset when I go shopping. I also think why spend money on a tan blouse if I can buy it in purple instead. Thus a closet with a lot of color and not a lot of neutrals! Loving those sandals!!

  19. Oooh I love that baseball tee! I've been learning the value of some good basic neutrals recently - especially tees/tanks. Then all you need to add is a lovely scarf or necklace! :)

  21. I have the exact opposite problem! I have WAYYY too many dark/neutral colors and that needs to change! I find I look best in bright warm colors such as pink, red, coral, and yellow. I have way too many blue, brown, and grey items!

  22. This made me chuckle because I'm the same...it definitely looks like a My Little Pony threw up in my closet...and I'm always drawn to colors vs. neutrals! This is a great reminder to maybe stock up on neutrals....and a great excuse to shop :)
