The Color Issue

Pardon me for a moment while I talk about fashion...

1) I have been wearing way more color than usual lately. Typically, I am a cream, brown, olive green, navy, and a splash of mustard girl. To me... gold is colorful. What can I say? My inner color wheel is very muted and subtle. But these last few weeks of summer I have been all about bright colors... lime, coral, teal, etc. I don't know what's gotten into me. But I kind of like it...

{Dress as top: TJ Maxx // Skirt: Banana Republic // Necklace: Loveshop80 {eBay} // Sandals: Target}

2) I am obsessed with wearing dresses as skirts and dresses as shirts, etc. In these pics the coral top is really a short cotton dress. The long teal skirt is really a maxi dress. I'm all about it, y'all.

3) Oh, and I really love the sandals in the picture above. I got them at Ross for $10.99. I am having the best luck with Ross shoes lately. Not mad about it.

4) Have you SHOPPED MY CLOSET yet? The sale is going on over HERE!

I love all the color! I've been trying to step out of my color comfort zone lately too. I gravitate to black, white, and gray, so anything beyond that is a stretch for me! ;)
