Pop of Color + Co-Hosting with Funday Monday

Color – pops of it are fast becoming a new outfit love language for me. For years {and years} my go to color was black. When I was being a little daring, I would add some grey or purple but even those were of the muted tones. Always staying in the background with my color choices was my comfort zone. Most of the time because I wasn’t confident or comfortable with how I looked. Then color entered my life and this has been a recent development for the most part. The truth is that color makes me feel confident and pretty. Who knew? Not me, obviously! This recent change has coincided with other wardrobe changes and challenges I found to participate in with other bloggers. So thankful for all these changes because color{s} have changed my wardrobe, my style, my confidence and a little bit of my attitude.

Here’s a couple of looks. Pop of color on top. I am loving this color of blue. Paired it with a scarf and skinny jeans. Switched out the shoes – one look with flats, one look with heels. I like them both but I’m not much of “sexy” girl with skinny jeans and heels. That is another work in process. The hubs? Yeah, he likes that look. {Again, who knew?}

Pop of color on the bottom. Red pixie pants, which I’m getting used to and have worn them a couple of times. Not thrilled with the fit. One size was tighter than I prefer {still have issues with clothes fitting closely to my body} and the another size was just ok. Maybe I should have hung onto my reward $$ for later. But the silver lining is that I do love the color. Color on the bottom and neutral on top and I do like this combo.

      Yes, they are the pixie pants from Old Navy. I’m not as thrilled with the fit as I had hoped to be BUT the color is great especially for my wardrobe. Glad you stopped by!

      Thanks, Jill. I’m a little partial to the blue myself. Love that color and hope to find a little more of it one of these days. Glad you stopped by!

    Carrie, I love these outfits! Really love the tank with the scarf. It’s already getting so hot here that we have to wear those scarves pronto! I for one won’t be wearing them in the heat of the summer.

      Agreed, Stacey! I won’t be wearing scarves for much longer. That is going to challenge me though to accessory and remix things up to get new outfits. 🙂 Glad you stopped by!

    Love the red pants! Every since Shaunacey got her red pants, I’ve been wanting a pair. I tried on those red pants from ON, but like you I was between sizes and thought, I can do better!

      Agreed, Whitney! I’m just between the sizes. The larger ones are just ok but after I’m in them for a little while they stretch out and then I’m thrilled…kinda underwhelmed. Glad you stopped by!

    I can relate to what you have said about wearing black for so many years before you discovered colours! Same with me – only black and neutral colours in my wardrobe. But not any longer once I realised that brighter colours actually suit me well.

    Love the turquise, it is such a happy and fresh look for the spring and summer season!

      It’s hard to believe but not too long ago almost every sweater in my closet was black. I would look for anything new in black first. So boring!! I think colors are good for me as well! Love them!! Glad you stopped by!

      Thank you, Lana! I think that shade of blue is just so pretty also! It’s a Target tank if you’re interested – Merona. Hope you have a great week as well!

      Thank you, Shaunacey! I’m so not a skinny with heels type of girl but I’m trying. Those pixie pants are ok but not my total favorite, yet {I do love the color though}! 🙂

      Thank you, Maria! Love red pants (though the fit of these isn’t perfect the color is great). Thinking a red skirt is due in my closet. 🙂 Glad you stopped by.
