winter blues and colorful hues

I know we’re in the heart of winter right now, but I’m craving color. I’ve said it before that I’m a color person. I have plenty of neutral shades in my closet, and of course, I have the necessary black pieces that I adore, but I do love color. When it’s cold and rainy out, I can’t help but get a case of the winter blues (and I know I’m down south so I really can’t complain that much about cold weather). Color instantly lifts my mood, and while it may be jacket and boot weather, I still throw in color any chance I get (hence the pink tweed blazer I wore to my birthday dinner on Monday night). Accessories are always an easy way to throw in that touch of color if you still want to keep the rest of your ensemble a more neutral, winter-friendly palette. I’ve rounded up some of my current favorite colorful accessories below.

    You’re so right about adding color in winter to make it less “blah”. I usually wear bold-colored blouses and sweaters with black pants and boots and that’s my way to add color! These accessories you chose are an even better (and probably cheaper) way to do the same.

    Bright colors do help. I also like to winterize summer pieces, like say a maxi dress!

    I’m really craving color right now too! I just looked in my closet and realized that the majority of my clothes are white, black, gray or brown. What happened?! I need some color ASAP!
