Black, white, gray, navy, and khakithat’s my personal color scheme.
The most I deal with color is in mylipstick choices.
But this summer, I decided to challenge myself to incorporate more color into my wardrobe.

I realized the key to this entire experiment was taking baby steps.
At first, I wasn’t ready to wear a head-to-toe orange ensemble.
But I could start off with a statement necklace or a bright pair of shoes.
Now, I don’t balk at the idea of wearing a red romper or a bright scarf.
And, yes, everything here goes great with black.
This pastel pink piece will blend perfectly with a white button-down and khaki slacks.
Baby steps, right?
My entire bathing suit collection is made up of black, white, and blue one-pieces.
I overcompensate by slipping on these bright yellow sandals.
See, I’m sunny!
Really, this bracelet is more like a blip of color.
Every once in a while I reach for something bright, and I’m never disappointed.
This fuchsia shade transitions well from summer to fall.
SilkeLondon Hair Wrapin Poppy, $59
This hair wrap has a dual purpose.
It’s such a non-committal way to do color.
But this tangerine crossbody bag instantly adds color to any outfit.
Plus, no one is every going to say this lemon-colored band doesn’t match your outfit.
This reflective pair comes in shades like blue, purple, and pink.
Swipe on a matching lipstick to really bring the color theme home.
Congrats on your new, colorful outlook on life!
