Inspiration Comes in Many Forms

As it gets colder outside, it’s easy to get caught in a rut of a charcoal and black wardrobe. While these colors are flattering on any woman, we suggest examining your surroundings for some color inspiration to brighten up your closet. Here are some things that have inspired us in past fall and winter seasons:

Thanksgiving Table: This Thanksgiving, the table was filled with turkey, yams, cranberries, mashed potatoes and more. Get your color inspiration from these delightful dishes, and try wearing your favorite jeans with chocolate brown boots, a cream colored sweater and cranberry and burnt orange accessories.

Evergreen Trees: In most of the country, the leaves have already turned brown and fallen off the trees; however, we’re lucky in Colorado to have the Evergreens surrounding us. Take note of this, and try incorporating this color into your wardrobe with neutrals like brown, gray, cream or khaki.

Sunset: If you’ve watched the sun set recently, you surely remember the amazing shades of deep pink and burnt orange in the sky. This color combination is sure to add a little excitement to your fall wardrobe. Try a deep pink top with a pair of burnt orange pumps.

Chocolate: With the holidays approaching, we’re starting to see more and more chocolate around the office. Not only does chocolate add a little warmth to your day, a touch of chocolate in your wardrobe will add a little richness to your outfit as well. Use chocolate as a neutral and try pairing colors like eggplant, chartreuse, or coral to add a little punch to your look.

Snow: Looking at an open field of snow that hasn’t been trampled through yet will remind you of the beauty of glistening colors like white, silver and blue. Let Mother Nature be your guide and match these colors to help get you in the winter spirit.

Take a moment to see what colors surround you, and try incorporating them into your outfits. We’d love to hear what inspires color in your wardrobe, so feel free to post a comment and let us know!

Tights, Tights, Tights...

You are probably seeing them everywhere at this point. At work, walking through the streets of Downtown Denver and the boutiques of Cherry Creek North. Tights. We personally love them and have made them a wardrobe staple for this fall and winter. Whether pairing a fun colorful pair with a LBD (little black dress) and cute stilettos or pairing a thicker textured pair under a dress/skirt and with boots… We just can’t get enough. Loving the trend but looking for ways to incorporate it into your every day life? Here are a few tips for every occasion.

• Work Meeting: Why not take that pencil skirt that helps you rock the meeting and pair it with a pair of neutral tights; think gray, charcoal, black or brown with some type of pattern or texture to them. From there pick your favorite pump or dress boot and head out the door!

• Weekend Brunch with the Girls: Here you can have a little fun. Pull out those fun colors and pair with a sweater dress, wool skirt and cute flats. You’ll be both looking fabulous and feeling comfy (your feet will thank you).

• Date Night/Holiday Party: Cute dress. Think LBD or any other short favorite. From there you could go with an array of tights. I’ve seen amazing pairs with a little shimmer, lace, and more. Keeping it classy but still exciting with an element of fun.

Where to find the perfect pair at an affordable price? We have seen a ton of cute pairs at Target lately especially in the Xhilaration line at a very reasonable price. Other places that are our favorites include Nordstrom’s BP selection and Gap. If you are still stumped on how to incorporate this fun trend into your next occasion or event shoot us an email at stylemuseinfo@gmail.com and we’ll be happy to help. Good luck and have some fun!
