In light of recent events, I could not resist this post to fashionize if this new "Spicy Orange" will be an easy colour to integrate into our primarily black wardrobes.
​
Will this pretentious colour bring an energizing boost to a dull landscape ?

This attention grabbing colour is not for the faint at heart.
​
The best way to wear this spicy shade would be to wear in moderation and is best paired with
stronger colours of: Black, Army Green and Deep Blues.

Orange viewed as both loud and brash, probably because of it's impracticality, I would limit it to bold, deliberate fashion pieces.

I can only speak for myself when I say this colour humours me, but without a doubt I am not ready to forgo my Black for Orange. 

Back to School- My 3 favourite words- till the middle of October when we are inundated with our children's' projects and homework.

This fall my eldest son is starting high school and I am looking forward to the " no nonsense " phase of school wear. He, on the other hand is appalled that Adidas training pants will no longer be the staple of his every day attire.

I ran into a friend recently and while I was rejoicing in the prospect of no longer fighting over morning attire,  she is facing the opposite dilemma.

How does someone who has had to wear a uniform for the past 5 years, that was preselected and decided for them by an establishment that clearly has no Fashion sense embrace the freedom
of style ? 

Here is an easy place to start: 
After trendalyzing what's in the stores for Fall, I choose to compare them to my fave 80's iconic movie " The Breakfast Club".

Varsity and Athletic Looks.
bomber jackets, track pants, hoodies

Oversize, Longer Lengths, Hobo feeling.
pleated long skirts,oversize top,maxi cami dresss

Grunge meets Biker Style.
real or vegan leather, military, rips, splatter & buckles

Feminine, Floral Romantic.
embroidery and frills,frills, frills... 

Do colors frighten you ?
​
Do you tend to retreat to your bland basics of: White, Grey, Black & Ecru?

Take the Quiz to find out what is your Fashion Color Personality and Rock your Rainbow this summer !

I am a definite Chambray ... but wished I could be a Fiesta Red. 
Were you surprised by your results ?

​Does it inspire you to get out of your comfort color and try something punchier?

If you are color challenged - the easiest way to introduce a new color to your palette is to start with small steps... ( a fun sandal, a tiny tote, or a summertime top.) 

I find the easiest way to Rock my Rainbow is to find a brightly colored print and wear it with my favourite denim.

Some may say that Spring is for Flowers.... I say
"Spring 2016 is definitely for the Birds!" -No pun intended :)

If I had to suggest only one key element this spring to freshen up your wardrobe it would be to select a fantastical statement print.
Personally I am loving the Flamingo ! ​

If Big Birds are not your thing, I get it...
​There are a slew of other whimsical prints trending too: Bugs & Insects,
Cats & Dogs, Aquatic & Prehistoric Creatures.
