Fashion Friday & Friday's Fancies - Color Inspiration.

It's finally here.  Ladies and Gentlemen without further ado I give you Fashion Friday!  Today's theme is Color Inspiration.  Each of us experiences this.  Seriously, we do.  Yes, you too gentlemen.  We all have it!  Each and every one.  And typically we are passionate about "what" color  we choose.

I'll admit it I'm a neutral girl.  Yes, I am.  However, I've been trying to branch out.  To go "outside" of comfort zone.  A little mantra I recite to myself "Heather, it's ok to step out side of your comfort zone, it's ok to add color, remember it adds sass, lots and lots of sass, it's ok to step out side of your comfort zone, it's ok to add color..." And so on.  

Adding color is fabulous way of adding sass to your outfit.  Even if it's the tiniest bit - say with a scarf.  Or you can add a lot of color and tone it down just a "tad" bit with a neutral color.  For example, my outfit selection for today.  Side note: this is not my own creation, but that of a wonderful designer on polyvore.  This outfit is va-va-voom and has a tremendous amount of sass and YES I would wear it.  Yep!  I sure would.  And I would look fabulous too.  But, I'm not quite sure "what" I'd wear it too...  Oh, don't you worry I'd find somewhere.  By the way, I particular like the dress and jacket because of their lines.  Look closely at the picture and you'll see what I mean.  They aren't "plain" items of clothing they definitely add dimension although they are sleek too...

So, what do you think about my color inspiration of today?  Do you step outside of your comfort zone in fashion?  Do you add sass?

Don't forget to stop over at Blonde Episodes for more Fashion Friday posts and {long distance loving} for more Friday's Fancies.  Have a fabulous Friday and wonderful weekend!  See you soon.  Please do give me your opinion on today's outfit...

  1. I used to be a neutral gal, too! My favorite look consisted of light blue jeans and a white tee. Well, I still like it, but now I love colors and variety like textures and accessories, they make preparing for next day's outfit much more fun!

    Ow, and the fuschia is just so apt, since I'm carrying a fuschia bag for my today's post, and it DOES make a nice pop of color!

    Thank you for your kind comment on my post, Heather. I hope you'll visit again soon, and maybe follow if you like my posts. ^_^

  7. I love anything girly with a leather jacket! It's probably one of my favorite looks because it is so chic & makes something super girly a little more edgy! Those heels are to die for & so are those sunglasses! In an outfit like this I am pretty sure all the men would stare. :)

    Have a great weekend!
