“Inspiration Monday” is a weekly series about things that inspire me.
This week my inspiration stemmed from desperately needing more color in my life. When shopping you can pretty much count on me to pick out the most boring color I can find. Especially when an item I like comes in more than two colors I immediately become overwhelmed. After a good half an hour of debating which color to buy I some how end up with something either white, black, brown, or navy. You can’t go wrong with neutrals right? WRONG!
With the bright and colorful spring/summer trends rolling in, my neutral wardrobe was just not cutting it for me anymore. Slowly over the last couple of months I have been introducing more color into my wardrobe and honestly, it feels so refreshing! Not only have I been trying to branch out with buying colors I normally wouldn’t purchase, but I’ve been experimenting with mixing different color combinations. This bold red and magenta inspired outfit has become one of my new favorite color combinations!
In addition, I would also like to take a quick moment to thank these two lovely women in my life (my mother-in-law Debbie and my sister Hanna) for first inspiring me to start this blog and make my dreams a reality!
I’d love to hear from all of you so send me a message or leave a comment sharing some things that have inspired you recently! Hope you all have a great Monday!

Love the colours!! Very cute:)
Yes this is a bold color combination. I love that you named it “berry”. I like it very much. A fun take on vintage office girl.
Lovely outfit, loving the color combo. If you get a chance, please link up to my What We Wore Party going on now: http://suburbsmama.blogspot.com/2013/07/what-we-wore-4.html
Thanks Kendra! Make sure to keep checking back because later on in the blog I will be discussing how to build a wardrobe so you always have something to wear and never feel bored!
Believe me, mixing colors is still a work in progress for me too! This is something I will talk about more later on in my blog so stay tuned!!
I do this too!! It drives me crazy because I have more black and white in my wardrobe than I know what to do with! I’ve started to branch out too and it feels SO good! I need to be better about mixing colors though… I’m a little OCD when it comes to that and honestly, I don’t know how! haha. Thanks for the post! 🙂
Ditto to Hanna. I’m so bored with my wardrobe and definitely need done colorful additions! I never would have paired those two colors, but they look great!
Guilty of the some shopping trend. I need to start branching out and buying some pieces with color that I can mix and match. Thanks for the inspiration!
