Brightening up Winter

Winter tends to bring out the darker colors of my wardrobe more.  When I think winter I think maroons, grays, deep purples, etc.  Every once in a while though, I like to pretend spring has already started and bring out the brights...I mean, if I wear it, it will come, right?

Here's a few more bright looks I've either been wearing this winter or plan to wear...

#3:


Tiered Ruffles Open Cardigan/ Polka Dot Top/ Lagniappe Necklace



Do you sport bright colors in the winter?  Or do you stick mainly to the darker hues?

Speaking of winter, it was 5 degrees when I put my kids on the bus this morning.  With the wind chill the temperature read -9 degrees.  Sick.  I'm half-tempted to not leave my house all day...it's SOOOO cold!  However, #3 looks forward to his free-play time at the trampoline gym every Tuesday morning so we'll be braving the cold in the name of fun.  Wish me luck. =)

Have a good day!

  4. We are having the same frigid temperature troubles here in Pittsburgh too. School is two hours late today so it warms up a little before the kids catch the bus. I am thankful for a slow, lazy morning to start of this already short week. :)
    I love to wear bright colors in the winter {as long as there are long-sleeves involved}. Your outfit is beautiful!

  7. This year is the first year that I have worn bright colors AND sometimes even pastels in the winter. Why? Because Pinterest told me to of course! ;)

  11. You inspired me to wear a flower top with a plum cardigan and a sparkly necklace. I enjoy your closet and you give me inspiration.

    Spring is in the air!
