Deep Thoughts: Color

After enduring my rather abrupt wake-up call (what can I say? I can't handle snoring) a friend recently confessed that, upon waking, he initially mistook my room for a hospital. Although my style could be described as extreme minimalism, having it likened to an asylum isn't exactly a dream come true.

I've always loved the look of bare white walls, I find it an incredibly soothing contrast to life's daily stress. It's also extremely easy, a no-brainer, in terms of design. I approach my wardrobe with the same fervor, except in lieu of white, I stick with fiercely minimalist, always in style, black. Prying my bony little fingers from their vice grip on my ink J Brands and 15 variations of the same black tank, however painful it may be, is a necessary foray into the unknown. Especially after boring myself skimming previous posts, realizing I constantly write about this exact dilemma. After finally hanging girly pink pictures in my bedroom, perhaps it's time to follow suit with my wardrobe.

Here's how I'll be injecting a much needed dose of warmth to my closet:

• A bright alternative to my basic black tank.
• Strawberry Cordial can't be described as neutral, right?
• A lovely print with the added bonus of a bit of black.
• Sunny and cheerful will feel fresh on dark winter mornings.
  
• Certainly not for the timid, but I'm obsessed with the Louis Vuitton bunny ears in candy colored pink.

The Justification: What I'm currently loving

Kova&T Pepper Leggings

Justification #1: These leggings have stirrups, so they won't bunch up!

Justification #2: They're also available in purple, for those of you who appreciate color.

Friend or Foe Miles Davis tee

Justification #1: This tee is my number one obsession. Seriously-I bought if to give as a present (you're welcome, Rooms) and then I also had to buy one for myself.

Justification #2: It occurred to me while writing this that there are some especially lovely Facebook pictures of me from an impromptu night out. There's nothing like having a million pictures taken of you when it looks like you just crawled out of bed. But at least you sort of get to see how amazing this tee is!

After my week long sabbatical, the words of the quintessential fashion phoenix, Diane von Fürstenberg, felt right for today.
