Black & Navy

I would like to think that I am color combo adventurous… but black + navy has always scared me. My fears stem from the fact that my pre-coffee eyes often have a hard time differentiating navy vs. black in the first place, & I live in fear that I will show up to work in a color mis-matched outfit.

But now that I made myself try it on purpose, I have overcome my fears & must say, I love it!

color story: red

I have never been a huge fan of the color red. Despite the fact that I am a die hard Arkansas Razorback fan, red has never entered my repertoire of favored colors. Orange is my favorite color, and since red is his neighbor on the color wheel, you would think that we would be better acquaintances... but no such luck. Until, that is, I started my 30X30 Challenge and fell in love with my red jeggings and red striped tee... now the tables have turned! I am currently seeing red everywhere, and liking it! 

Here is some "old-school pin" (aka magazine tear out) action representing some of my favorite ways to wear red now that it is Spring: silk blouse, maxi dress, cross body bag
