The color story was a little difficult for me. I've been buying clothes for years based on whatever I could find that fit me. This really limited my options greatly. After thinking about what I really like, I came up with some ideas. I spent quite some time coming up with colors that, hopefully, represent the colors I had in my mind.
The Neutrals
camel, black, light gray (preferably textured or heathered), navy, chocolate brown
Not So Nearly Neutrals
plum, burgundy, green, teal, coral
Statement Colors
orange, green, aqua, pale pink, fuchsia
Metallics
gold, silver, pewter
I realize the the 2 greens are nearly the same, but I guess I am just that excited about green! The colors also seemed to change with the white background. The navy, plum, and burgundy were much deeper. :( These still give the basic idea of the colors I am trying to use. This has really made me excited to start building my new wardrobe!
I like your colors in your not so nearly neutral palette. I haven't analyzed my palette but I know what colors I like - all I need to do is look at my thread collection - spools of red, blue, purple, plum, black, off-white, etc.

Those color palettes are gorgeous. I'm struggling with building my wardrobe in a somewhat cohesive manner myself. Right now, it's a bunch of little pieces that hopefully go with something else. You've inspired me to figure out a color story for myself :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't actually made much of my wardrobe yet, but I have bought a few fabrics and have plans. It is a lot of work. The Wardrobe Architect project is pretty helpful to get a plan together.
