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!
