Strong colors

One of the spring trends is strong colors, right? Do I need to run around and buy some? Not colors but colorful clothes!
Well, I didn't run like crazy to the shops instead I opened my closet and there I came face to face with  this pretty yellow sweater! Shops vs my closet 0-1!!!
Then I realised I'm on a mission to wear my summer t shirts in winter so I grabbed these stripes and kept the rest black!
There you have it! Colors and stripes coming out of my minimal closet! ( mind you I also have 30 items to pick from this month).
 I think you could use some detail
My styling tip for today is no matter how colorful you want to be, you still need to have a neutral background for the colors to pop! My favorite background color for winter is black!
I was wondering how easy it is for you to interpret the trends with what you already own. And although it is not always possible what resources do you use to get the look ?

  1. I'm going to have to dig out my summer tees. You've already given me another idea for February (and the reds I'm doing) and it is COLD here!

  6. Love purple and yellow! Especially with a little bit of green. If I had to make my wardrobe all one template I think that's what it would be!
