I’ve really been crushing on this baby blue color lately which is funny, because it’s never been one of those colors I am drawn to in stores, I actually avoid it typically because I’ve never really thought it looked good on me since I have green eyes. There is actually a back story to this color- bear with me. You know senior portraits you get in high school? Well, my actual portrait that was supposed to go in the year book was taken twice because during the first go round, I wore a light blue button up top. When we got the proofs back, my mom and I were both like “no”, so we went and bought a white blazer from bebe (remember that store!?) and put it over the blue button up. Such a difference. Ever since that year (circa 2005), I’ve never really worn the color because I just assumed I couldn’t, but not that I’m thinking about it, maybe that button up was just bad because I actually like the color now. 🙂 I’ve been crushin on these shoes for weeks and have yet to take the plunge because I’m worried they will get so dirty, but aren’t they so cute? We’ll see. Do you have any crazy color stories like that? Colors that you shy away from since you don’t think they work for you? I once read that blondes should own a lot of red, but to be honest, I just don’t like red on me or orange (my least favorite color ever). So, I just don’t own many pieces in either. Supposedly, you should dress in your colors, which I think you can find here…but I also say, wear what makes you feel good!
One day closer to Friday y’all and I couldn’t be more thrilled. This week has been a rough one!
