not so monochromatic

Lately, I've been drawn to warm orange, red,and pink tones. In an outfit on its own, each of these colors makes an eye-catching statement. But as a collection, it makes for a very monochromatic closet.

Bright selection at Behind the Scenes boutique in Minneapolis

It might be the season of summer inspiring me to pull these bright hues off the rack, but colors easily transition between seasons when you style them with updated silhouettes or in a fresh complementary ensemble. My favorite for orange? Contrasting blue, of course.




Proof of my orange + blue obsession? Just peek at last Friday's post...

  2. I love these colours but they look terrible on me as I'm very pale. Orange does look awfully good on you and it's such a gorgeous summer colour..

  3. I definitely need more orange in my closet. It's such a fun colour to wear, especially now that it's warmer.
