A Brighter Wardrobe

*In light of recent world events, blogging today seems trivial. I struggled with whether or not I should publish a post this morning, for fear of seeming insensitive, self-indulgent, and flat out disrespectful to all of those being affected a great deal depending on where in the world you are. After much contemplation, I decided to post because blogging is something that brings me a sliver of light and optimism during such times, and it's my hope that it can possibly do the same for someone else as well.

I hate to admit this, but it is the truth, so here it goes: I have a hard time wearing color in my wardrobe. I love my black sweaters, charcoal grey shirts, and dark denim jeans, and rarely shift from such. On occasion I may venture into a shade of brown or blue, but that is pretty much the extent of my color wearing ways. With summer vastly approaching and the clothing in stores becoming more cheerful by the minute, I am determined to break out of my dismal-dye realm and try a few brighter pieces. Here are some dresses, tops, and accessories that I can see fitting the bill quite nicely. They're still a bit subdued, but hey, it's a start!

1. ellie print dress 2. cream chiffon dress 3. pansy print dress 4. sunshine sleeveless dress 5. zip back tank 6. mint blouse 7. stone empire tank 8. nude crop vest 9. graziella necklace 10. blue suede flats 11. sofia bracelets 12. paloma sandals 13. gracie bag
