I've heard urban legends of women who actually
prefer black or low-key, neutral colors. Women who actually
eschew bright colors and patterns. Could this be true? I can't imagine! One of my customers said today "You always look so...bright." I'm 98% sure he meant that as a compliment. In any regard, he was completely accurrate! You know by now I adore bright colors and patterns and I do not wear much black
at all. I truly believe that bright colors have a positive impact on my mood and overall being. I was completely drawn to the bright, gorgeous colors of this skirt, and totally thought it looked like a J.Crew floral. Love! It's online but a much better deal in-store, if you can still find it.
I just noticed the mini bike behind me in the picture. That's what I use to get to work. Ha. With 3 boys under the age of 7 their toys are just a part of life's natual background. Hope everyone had a great Friday! Thanks for visiting!
Well your shoes are not bright. LOL. :)
ReplyDeleteI hear you on the bright thing, I have heard that for years and years. (Today's blog post features me in bright pink and orange, nearly eye searing.)
That skirt you have is really pretty, and definitely has a J. Crew feel. It's a shame that BR went downhill in the past few years, it is good to see it is reclaiming its former luster!
Dina, that's why I have always loved your blog! I agree about Banana Republic. That store went way downhill a few years ago and never fully recovered, but I do manage to find a few gems there now and then, and I always love the jewelry!
ReplyDeleteI love bright! And for me it really helps in our gray drizzly climate too... Beautiful outfit :-)
ReplyDeleteI get the same comment ALL the time! In fairness 50% of my colleagues are required to wear either khaki, black, or white to work, so all the civilians seem bright in comparison...
