Those who know me, know I am downright obsessed with color. Particularly very bright hues, solid, true, saturated, intense. I'm especially ga-ga over colors like orange, red, green, yellow, and blue. I like my colors in your face, almost arguably confrontational.
That said, muted shades and pale tints just haven't done it for me for the quite some time. In fact, I believe I once (long ago) stated that I'd never wear pastels again. I was a child of the 80s and felt I'd had my fair share of such colors during that decade. They felt passe to me, reminiscent of that now long past decade and had been done to death then. I decided I was sick of them and declared that I'd absolutely never wear them again...
Well, never say never!
Suddenly I've become absolutely obsessed with pastels, especially peach, mint green, and bright pink, in their decidedly bolder pastel incarnations (see above). Something about said colors feels incredibly fresh to me right now. Maybe it's been long enough since the 80s and it's time to revive them, maybe they are poised for a comeback. Maybe I'm just looking for something fresh. Who knows?
All I know is, I am in
LOVE.
But to be clear, I am not abandoning my loves, those bright colors I so hold dear. Instead, I am very much into the idea of wearing these new chromas with my old faves, the brights, perhaps in monochromatic or contrasting/clashing schemes (i.e., some mint green with bright orange, or bright red with mint green, and so on, and so forth). I can't wait to experiment!
