Photo Love: Bright Colors for the Cold

October 10, 2011
Stay Bright and Bold even when it’s cold!
 
 
Harpers Bazaar Espana October 2011
Who says that fall and winter colors should remain neutral?  I know that friends in most parts of the world (North of the Equator) are experiencing cooler weather now.  Even we have been experiencing more rain and wind leading to slightly lower temperatures.  
But I don’t think that means the brighter colors in our wardrobe should disappear.  I have a favorite pink Banana Republic coat with the loveliest floral lining that I adore wearing in gray weather.  I think I wear the color purposely to defy the bleakness of the weather and shorter days.  Color in my wardrobe definitely elevates my mood as well.
How do you stay bright and bold in the cold?
Have a lovely week!

    it’s so freaking cold here right now, it totally shifted from 30 to 10 degrees… I don’t have a colorful coat but I do have lots of colored sweaters, cardigans & scarves, that’s my way;)
    Though, I’d love me a bold coat too;)

    I love introducing bold colours amongst the blacks and browns in my autumn/wintr wardrobe. Happy Monday;-)

    I love that first coat! The bright blue is so cheery! My winter coats are often bright colors- otherwise it just gets so dull! Especially if you live in a place with a lot of snow, all white, allllll the time. A punch of color should be mandatory. 🙂

    I love these outfits! Gorgeous! Enjoy yourself a lot on your tryps! How lucky! 🙂 <3<3

    That first cobalt jacket is gorgeous!! Have to say I stick with basics in fall/winter and liven up with jewelry or the occasional sparkly top. For some reason I’m ixnay the bright colors in winter. Perhaps I’m hibernating.

    Gosh, I wish it was cold. Haha! LOVE that cobalt coat! I also love rockin’ bright scarves for a fun pop of color in cold weather!

  • The Dainty Doll's House October 10, 2011 at 10:08

    Yes yes!! I’m keeping colour this winter!! Everyone seems to be putting them away, but I’d like to keep them. This is great!! xx

    it’s hot here and then sometimes pleasant. but mostly still feeling like summer. boo.

  • Kim October 10, 2011 at 13:38

    I love the idea of incorporating bright colors into a winter wardrobe. When it’s cold outside, it’s so easy to grab anything black or gray. I’ll definitely try to brighten things up this winter!

  • Kristin H October 10, 2011 at 14:23

    The blue coat is a “I WANT” piece!!! Just fabulous!
    Have a great day!

    I also don’t think bright colors should disappear and make a point of wearing them year-round!

  • laura October 10, 2011 at 16:07

    I agree– brighter colors in the winter are essential! I love that blue number!

    Happy Monday!

    I totally agree. In fact, I think we need to dress brighter because of the cold weather.

    Btw, I started a new blog, http://www.geekettegazette.com. Need advice and followers. So please stop by if you can. Thank you!
