The Best - Adding a Little Color

That's my wardrobe over there! With Spring here - at least according to the calendar - I remembered my desire to add a little color to my wardrobe. To "branch out" so to speak!

In addition to new nail polish - can't wait till Essie's The Office Collection comes out - I added a few new items to the mix.






 <--- I got this shirt from Banana Republic.  It's bright and sheer, far from my usual.

---> this top's from The Limited. It's sort of a bridge piece. It has my usual grays and blues but with a pop of pink.

- I picked these capris up from Target.  I wasn't ready to buy the new brightly colored pants I've seen everywhere and thought this colored was a nice step up without making me feel too flashy.

Hopefully the success of these pieces will push me to expand my closet even more!

  1. I really love how your changing your wardrobe! I know adding color can really make a huge difference, and even something I as a teen should probably do more. Bright colors really make you stand out! Good luck updating your wardrobe even more. =)

    1. It's so tough! It's easy to mix and match the basics!

  3. I'm wearing pink shoes and a pink sweater today with my basic gray pleated skirt. For some reason, I gravitate toward red slacks, but after seeing a picture of myself in them I decided to stick to the basic navy/gray/black/khaki and go with brighter tops! Hope the bright colors also brighten your spirits!

    1. I always forget to include my yellow converse or my lime green ones. Need to pick up some matching cardigans! Those definitely count as adding color!

  4. I just purchased a pale turquoise light sweater to wear to work and it adds color without knocking your over with it.
