WIWW: Breaking all My Norms

 

 

No one ever believes me when I tell them how quickly I get dressed for work in the morning. Although I’m a blogger and love all things pretty and wearable, I also enjoy my sleep and just like everyone else, I don’t have time to spend countless hours each morning determining what to wear. My secret? Nearly ALL of my wardrobe is made up of neutrals. Okay so maybe that wasn’t a ground breaking secret BUT it gets better. Since most of my clothes are neutrals  anything I “throw on” basically works. Once I discovered this little “color uniform” I became obsessed with navy, black, and browns (boring I know).

In an attempt to break myself out of my style norms, I purchased a pair of the red polka dot Rockstar jeans from Oldnavy when they first came out. I simply couldn’t resist the polka dots and gave myself TWO pats on the back for putting down the navy color option and going for these instead.

Do you have a “color uniform” you tend to stick to? Comment below and let me know your favorite colors to wear! Which colors dominate your wardrobe?

    Cute outfit! They are neutrals with a twist. The detail on the pant, show and necklace make the outfit go from plain to pow!

    I love the pants! I like to mix up what colors I wear. I usually do a neutral pant (I know, I need to start breaking into the colored pant trend) and then a fun color top… in the fall, the boldest color I wear is orange.

      I totally know what you mean Laura! Give the color pants trend a try, a pair of oxblood pants would be perfect for Fall/Winter!

    Those pants rock–I love the color and the cute dots! I bet they’ll be great to mix in with all of your neutrals! I love wearing bright colors, but I think neutral shades of blue (denim, navy, gray-ish blue) dominate my wardrobe.

    So, so in love with those polka dot pants! And the color is so fun. I don’t really have colors that dominate my wardrobe more like styles for instance button ups. I am a huge button-up fan.
