Color Inspiration

Where do you find color inspiration in your life?

For me, I love color.  The more color, the better.  :)

You can usually find me wearing 2-3 different colors with each of my outfits.

But how do I come up with the color combinations?

I look at the things around me: from things I use daily, Little MissMatched socks, to flower pins, especially jewelry!, random things I come across, or just colors I really like.

At some point yesterday, I got to thinking about a lime green sweater I haven't worn in awhile.  I knew that I wanted to wear it today, but wasn't sure what to wear it with.

Last night while reading a book, I took a second look at a bookmarker I have been using for over 2 months.
{Thanks to the daughters of Sunshine in the House, I purchased a little pouch and this bookmarker that they worked together to make/sell during a benefit garage sale .)

  I knew immediately what I was going to wear. 

Here's my color inspiration....

Here it is in official clothes form.

And here it is on me. 
{Yes, I went in to the bathroom at work to use the mirror to get a picture.  That's what happens when your office mate is out of the office for a week.}

 

I like it....a lot!  I have worn this outfit combination before, minus the orange cami.  I have worn a light blue, a couple different purple colors, and maybe even a pink.  But the orange just pops!

If you ever get stuck in a styling/coloring rut, just look around you. 

There is so much color inspiration in this world that is just overlooked. 

And don't be afraid to be a little bold with the colors. 

God put colors in our world to enjoy!

Now, go color yourself!

Fun at the Farm, Day 3

We started out the day having waffles for breakfast! I haven't had them for ever. I don't have a waffle maker, so they were a great treat. Thanks mom!

After breakfast, J & J and I had some fun on the 4-wheeler again. Of course that involved going to the playground at church. We also helped grandpa (my dad) move the auger to the next bin to fill up, and followed him up to the field to combine beans. After dinner (lunch), the kids went down for an early nap, since they were to meet some friends later in the afternoon. So during nap, Andrea put on a little style show with all of her new clothes. Mom and I gave our approval or comments on all the outfits. Then I finally was able to get to the field to help out dad. We got one field done, and opened up another. I left for a little while to go be a nice sister for Adam and feed and water the calves.

Now that it is dark out, dad is calling it quits. No need to combine any of the numerous rocks out in the field. So we are playing it safe. But we'll get back out there tomorrow!

Time for supper!
