Try as I may to resist it, I L O V E wearing color. I just can't help myself! Take a peek into my closet and you'll see that I have a crazy obsession with each and every color in the rainbow. I love the look of neutral, practical, mix + match outfits... but why is it so hard for me to wear them? I don't know, but maybe you'll be seeing me soon in a support group for people who love color too much. xo. elsie
Outfit Details: Top c/o ModCloth, Skirt c/o ModBod, Belt/J.Crew, Tights/Target, Cardigan/Thrifted, Shoes c/o Lotta from Stockholm.
ps. Do you post outfits on your blog? Leave me a link, I'd love to take a peek!
Colour is my favourite too! In the sales, I bought a cream skirt and it's so strange to wear something so pale. I have to team it with stripes or bright tops.
One of my goals for this month is to share more outfit posts on my blog; I've not done this since September but seeing your outfit posts makes me determined to share more.

Hi, Elsie! I really admire your love of color mixing; I have tons of colorful sweaters and dresses in my closet, yet I'm never that adventurous with them! You've inspired me to take a second look at my clothes and think of new ways to remix them--adding lots of color, of course! Thank you!

Wearing lots of colours makes a dull day brighter !

I'm definitely more of a neutral girl myself, but colorful outfits make everyone so happy! Especially in the dead of winter, no? So keep dressing colorfully :)

If you find a support group like that, let me know, because I am the exact same way! Try as I might, I'm rarely successful embracing neutrals. You look great. :)

Elsie, I love your use of colour! Please don't go down the neutral route or, worst still 'practical'! I'm very guilty of straying into the safeness of wearing black but I love ladies who dare to wear brights - in fact I wrote a post about it this afternoon: http://lastyeargirl.blogspot.com/2012/01/bright-new-year.html
Your colourful outfits would fit in perfectly!

I'm just starting to get used to colour and posting outfit posts again. I adore your skirt, it looks great on you!
Posted by: Tors | January 02, 2012 at 09:22 AM
ah I love colour too! I used to wear it more often but I'm currently trying to wear neutrals and pastels a bit more :)
I've just started recently posting outfits on my blog and one of my new year's resolutions is to keep doing it... hopefully one day I'll have a bunch of colourful outfits to share as well!
