my favorite color is rainbow: goldilocks

all this talk about sewing has me feeling a bit single-minded. when i start to get this tunnle-vision syndrome, not seeing the forest through the trees and whatnot, there is really only one cure for it...

and that is the pure visual feast that is pinterest. the wonderful thing about pinterest is that you can truly tailor it to whatever your heart desires. i've turned mine into a bit of a scavanger hunt - organizing images by their predominant colors. of course i also try and pin outfits i like, hairstyles, etc...

so today, while perusing my pins, i felt moved by the warm, sunny hues of yellow.

yellow, gold, ochre, umber, citron, canary, flaxen... a color that can be warm and rich, opulent and extravagant, acidic, acrid, sour and sulfurous. it has been my experience that yellow is a seasonless color - there is always a shade that fits the present climate.

perhaps you can let this jaundiced hue influence your wardrobe this winter, allowing a little sliver of sunlight into your closet...

my favorite color is rainbow: grey is so much more than grey

in my ultimate wisdom i have decided that it is time for another "my favorite color is rainbow". the past week and a half really bit the big one. i had big plans (i always have big plans) but then lady life decided to pay me a visit. i really wish she would check my day planner (i don't keep a day planner) and my bank account (i don't keep a bank account. only a loose floorboard. and a shotgun.) before she decides to pull a fast one on me.

so perhaps it is in that spirit that i bring you this "my favorite color is rainbow". gentles and ladymen, please give it up for none other than the humble, the elusive, the overlooked, the misunderstood, the confusing to spell... grey.

i like it with the e not the a.

grey is a color that often gets confused for a non-color, but there is so much hue in grey. just try to find the perfect grey and you'll find yourself stumbling upon purples and blues, browns and greens... i've even spotted yellow in there. grey is an elusive, slippery, complex color. but when its right, its oh so right. welcome to the wonderful, confusing, and rich world of grey.
