Color Inspiration 26

Color Inspiration 21

Back to boots! First I have to put away all open toe shoes, now I'm wearing woolen sweaters that replaced silk tops on my hangers... Can not say that I'm happy about that... Ten years ago I married a man from Arizona, thinking that I would never have to deal with snow and fur coats - I had enough of all that in my Siberian childhood. 

And now I'm in Iowa... First three years were not bad, but last winter: long and cold - I'm really scared about next one.
But so far I was lucky and had a chance to mix  some summer items in my fall outfits. 

. 

Couple posts ago I mentioned this top from Ann Taylor in my wish list! Now it's mine! And in this outfit I finally tried the trend everyone has been doing all spring and summer: mixing prints. My version is really modest: small dots and small same color flowers! But I did it! Maybe next time I try something more risky and complicated?

I'm using last warm days to mix some of my fall winter wardrobe with summer shoes and clothes. This way I can do more different combinations I have not tried before, But cool mornings make me to choose more subtle and quiet colors. So that's how I look like last week.

My color mood changes with temperature dropping. And to be honest, I can not complain, this September and beginning of October we had pretty good weather: couple rainy days, couple cold mornings, but I'm still on  my spring-summer clothes and shoes. And I'm not in a big hurry to put on fall clothes, because I know: once I put it on I will have to wear sweaters and coats non-stop for next 5-6 month!!! So do not push me to show my fall outfits, lets enjoy the summer a bit more.

Last week we were lucky to have a bit of a summer weather back!!! I want to be bright again, I took out clothes I was going to hide till spring. So my colorful craziness was back last week!  

You may see this Chaps flannel shirt from Kohls in some spring pictures, but... remember: I never repeat exactly same look twice! Jeans from Ann Tayor are the same, but different Coach shoes, Christopher Kon purse and Chico's tank underneath. (As you see I have not added all these photos to my virtual wardrobe, just because I'm trying to shot as much as I can while it's warm and sunny and work on organizing everything during long dark winter night later. Promise-promise!)

I'm wearing:
Top: Jacket: Trousers: Shoes: Purse: 

Should I even call it color inspiration? This week I tried to wear colors and styles I used to have in my "previous life".  

Conservative and reserved, above time and fashion, to fit any office dress-code. And since I had hardly any time outside of work, my most casual outfit was something I could wear on Friday or Saturday, which I usually spent in office also. 

Some of the items I wore last week I even brought to US in my suitcase!

This week I was in color experimenting mode. I was trying to create more color mixtures with my old an new items, an I think I got some unusual (at least for my taste) combinations. Will  really appreciate your opinion on them!

Royal blue

I fell in love with Royal blue since I first saw it! I wanted something in this color. No matter what, just wanted to wear it. :) I think everybody has noticed already that I'm obsessed with colors and their combinations.

Of course, this hue of blue goes great with any combination of black and white or grey. I tried this combination last year. So this time I wanted to add another color ingredient, looked around and found my old heels and a leather belt from Gap. Here are more details. (You asked for mere close up looks, so I tried to add some!)

This week I started taking out some of my fall items. An since it was both: cold and hot I mixed different season's outfits in one!. Colors? I'm still enjoying brightness of summer!

This week I'm one color inspiration short. It's not that I'm out of color ideas! I still have tons of thoughts! But this Friday my main and favorite photographer was travelling, so I had nobody to capture my greatest outfit. Well, I will have to repeat it one day just for my color inspiration part of the blog!

I can not tell for sure what inspired me this week.... Weather changed my plans every morning. I'm not complaining and to be honest I like 60F in the morning much better than 90F. But I planned to wear my summer outfits a bit longer. And some are still in the mail! OMG! So, here what I could do with my clothes, my mood and my weather this week!

My Pantone 17-1360 celosia orange

As you know Pantone comes with color scheme for each season! Like for this Summer-Spring! (Here is a new one Fall-winter 2014-2015) I actually was planning on stocking with placid and dazzling blue, than I got obsessed with radiant orchid recently, but somehow my wardrobe got tons of orange this season!!!

This week I was definitely under influence of blue color! My new Michael Michael Kors clutch, plus WHBM jeans... Ok, why I'm even talking about that? You can see it yourself!
