Experimenting with color has been one of the most fun challenging things in my style journey. If you could have taken a look at my daily outifts from two years go, you would have almost exclusively seen black, gray, white, blue brown and a little bit of teal. If I wore anything resembling a color, I always paired it with excessive neutrals.

It’s hard to tell here, but it you look closely at this (handknit!) scarf, you can see threads of a bright olive color that matches cardigan. I didn’t notice this until I had put them both on, so just consider me a color-matching genius.

Scrunchy boots, scrunchy skirt, scrunched up blazer sleeves, scrunchy curls.

we got to the 8am service on Sunday mornings. Can you tell? My skirt looks like it had been crumpled at the bottom of my closet for days and I can barely keep my eyes open. 

I could have accessorized this outfit heavily, but I liked letting the pieces speak without distraction.

I tried a new method of curling my hair (via Rose a la Mode). It doesn’t work perfectly because my hair is so short, but it gives me a great wavy base overnight so it only take 5-10 minutes in the morning after I get up to touch up the curls.
