Welcome to week two of New Year, New Wardrobe! This week I\’m tackling color palette before briefly touching on what I currently have in my handmade closet.
I have a pretty good idea of what colors I want to focus on for this year\’s sewing. Using a combination of my mood boards from last week, the colors I know I enjoy wearing and feel good in, and the colors that are suggested for my coloring (I\’m a soft autumn–cheesy, yes, but effective), here\’s what I came up with:
As far as patterns go, I\’m not too much of a prints person–just look at my archives! I much prefer a bold statement color or a wonderful texture to a wild print. The exceptions are anything leopard, a classic navy and white or cream stripe, and a beautiful floral, about which I can be super picky.
As for what\’s already in my closet… anyone who has read this blog for a while knows that I love pink. I have lots of pink items, in shades from palest pink to bright coral, and in shapes from statement coats to full skirted dresses to floaty little minis. I feel good in pink, I feel pretty, and I feel most like myself. I also have a lot of navy (in solids and florals and stripes). I have a few white, cream, and camel pieces, but I think this is where my closet is currently lacking. Fortunately, I do have some camel and cream fabric in my stash, waiting to be made into clothes… I just can\’t keep getting distracted by new pinks!
Recently I\’ve been trying to pull these colors from my closet when getting ready in the morning. I\’ll be posting some #ootds on instagram this coming week with this in mind, so be sure to follow me over there and if you\’re posting outfits in your colors or silhouettes, use #newyearnewwardrobe so I can see what you\’re up to!
xoxo,
Pretty! I think I personally have to stick to cool colors but I still think these are fun!
I love how you've put your colours together, it's always such a great visual to see how they will work together in an outfit, and I'm completely in love with your colours too- so polished and chic!
